You know, there *is* a Sephora, not super close but pretty close. (It’s close to work, actually.) And I actually have real human actual real-life friends who work there. (They’re roller derby friends, so I haven’t seen them in a while, but.) So that is a good suggestion.
I had a couple other recs that I’ll repost here just in case anyone else was wondering the same thing, but most of them do involve going to a place like Sephora.
Which, I should do that, but I hate doing that sort of thing by myself, and wahh, etcetera. Maybe though, one or two of my sisters is going to visit me in Jan or Feb next year, so I can con them into joining me. Middle-Little Sister is super into cosmetics and All Things Womanly, and maybe Eldest would be interested too since she’s now got a high-powered job. (It’s different for her, being military, of course, but you can’t tell me that military women don’t wear makeup. They just have a particularly conservative aesthetic about it, I think. I know Eldest almost always has her toenails painted, because her fingernails can’t be the crazy colors her kids love most.)
I think I bought a $20 lipstick the last time I was there. It’d be worth it, of course! how many $5 lipsticks do I own that I put on once and was like “welp that looks awful”. A lot; there’s one in my jacket pocket right now that’s a lovely dark red that goes screaming magenta on me and also, as a bonus, never ever dries and remains slightly sticky for hours. (LA Girl Matte Flat Finish, btw: Do Not Recommend unless your favored aesthetic is Mouth Breather Whose Lips Will Stick Together If She Does Not Make This Face Constantly.
Which is a look, to be sure, but not really what I was hoping for.)
