Ready for My Closeup

I hate having my photo taken, but I needed updated shots (without sunglasses) for my Career Coaching website. For the occasion, it seemed important to elevate my makeup. The last time I’d bought foundation (and used it) was 2009 and it had now become crusted over in the back of the bathroom drawer. With a sense of duty, I slid into the chair at the Lancome beauty counter and let Rodolfo have his way with me. All it took was eyelid Primer, BB cream, 3 shadows, eyeliner, mascara primer, mascara, powder, lipstick and I was set.
