Day 224 - Give myself a Virtual Makeover

Date: August 18th, 2010

In a delightfully superficial turn, I found a site that allows you to do personal makeovers with their software.  Having had a long day the day before, I decided to go through the lighthearted exercise of making myself feel pretty.  So I found a picture that didn't have any makeup on and was a pretty normal shot of my face and went to work.


I'm going to let it speak for itself.

Not shown: My perfume choice - Eau de Desperation

Interestingly enough, there wasn't really a way to do anything besides what I did.  I played around with various shades of lipstick and eyeshadow, but found that all of them made my face look suspiciously like that of a child who stumbled into her mother's makeup drawer and went to town.  Don't get me wrong, I found myself heartwarming and adorable, but I don't think that's what Mary Kay was going for.

I was definitely the kind of distraction I was hoping for.  I also found that despite being in terrible shape and less attractive than I've been at other times in my life, I was able to enjoy the makeover for what it was.  And, in a weird way, I do think I look pretty in the after picture.  Not, you know, normal, or anything.. but pretty.  It was a cute thing of the day.
