Screw the make up counter!

Sarah P. is right; I'm 27, take pretty decent care of my skin, and was told last year I needed the same "primer" for my makeup. Of note, not a single line on my face (except when I furrow my brow at these harpies as they suggest I try that same "Urban Decay glimmer shadow" WHILE suggesting I get the retinol primer).

Devastating. I find that moment at the check-out when they look to see if they should card me to be excruciating, and when they don’t? Devastating.

It behooves (??) the makeup lady to make you feel old and so you buy mucho products. The other issues is if you go to a salon INSIDE a makeup boutique they ain't going to take sales away from themselves....! Anyway, I went to the same place, told them I was feeling old and they raved about getting "hip" cosmetics. I now am the proud owner of much Urban Decay makeup made for 14 year olds. Dammit, I look good in my "perversion" eye shadow. I think they must be good at their job there.... OK–one word–COMMISSION.
