Do You Neck?

When I was buying makeup for my wedding, the woman who was helping me told me that she'd seen many brides whose faces were different colors than their necks in their wedding photos. Don't let it happen to you! You should never ignore your neck when doing your makeup.

It's also a common saying that a woman's neck shows her true age. Looks like Bonomo knew this in 1954.

And mmmm.... layer cake.

Quick admin notes

You may have noticed that I switched to screened comments. I finally got annoyed with the spam and unrelated blog links. I try to approve comments as soon as possible, usually within a few hours.

I've been also been posted less often. I've been busy with graduate school, but I still have plenty of great articles to share with you. Hopefully they're worth waiting for!
