Makeup Junkies baby boy is 16, and driving........WHAAAAAA!



So moms out there who have their first born, their only son....16 and driving.....is my world coming apart?????  OMG what is wrong with me!!!!  Tears and tears.....and MORE tears....like my cute little Asian nail girl told me.....YOU BIG BABY!  And I am, I don't deny it, but my goodness, one day you are holding them on your lap while  projectile vomit comes spewing  and you think....oh my sweet Lord, I can't wait until this phase is over.....then the next phase of terrible two's hit and you are pulling your hair out chasing them to the moon and back, then their first day of kindergarten comes and you think their on their way down the aisle.  Lord, if I could have just ONE DAY of those times back, I would give it all.
Pulling into his spot at school

Today my son, my precious boy got his license, he's officially behind the wheel of a big ole jacked up truck, new toolbox and all.  Does he know the endless worry that lies ahead, does he know that every time I hear the sound of sirens going off out here in the country.....my heart will stop, does he know the hours of sleep his dad and I will lose, does he know that our grip on him is slightly loosening and we have to put our full faith and trust in God that He will  protect him each and every day and bring him home safely?  How do you trust that this 16 year old all country boy, won't do something completely stupid to be funny and impress the "boys"?  All that rings in my ear is him saying to his buddy in the passenger seat...."Hold my Gatorade....I gotta try this!" This is a whole new realm of places and feelings and worries that I knew one day would come, but now they are here, and  I'm officially freaking out!!!  Maybe I'm a control freak and didn't even realize it.........nah, that CANT be it!!

Makeup Junkies skinny on eyeliner!

Hello ladies, ......oh Lord, that sounds like a really back pick-up line!  Anyway, let's get the low down, the skinny, the in's and the outs of different eye liner formulas shall we?

First is the ever so popular "Pencil", if you use a good creamy type pencil eye liner, they will easily glide across your skin without skipping or dragging your ever so delicate skin.  I use MAC's Kohl pencil is "Smolder"...this is not a waterproof product, so keep that in mind! *Warm your pencil by drawing them across the back of your hand before application*

The ever so intimidating "Liquid Liner" takes a lot of practice to master, but is worth it when you do.  It's staying power is great and can give you a very precise, very clean line....great for the winged eye look!  Again, I use either NYX Studio Liquid Liner, or MAC's Penultimate Liquid Liner, it's like a felt tip pen!

The great "Creams and Gel Liners" are some of my favorites.  If applied with the right brush, can give you the same effect as a liquid liner, but again, steady hand and a lot of practice will master this craft.  You can use a flat square brush, or a pointed tip brush, whichever you feel the most comfortable using.  I adore MAC's Fluidline in Blacktracks and brush #209!


And just wanted to throw in this little jewel...

THE 10 COMMANDMENTS OF ANTI-AGING!!!!

~Wear Sunscreen - and not just at the beach!
~ Quit Smoking - cigarettes destroy collagen and elastin and decreases levels of estrogen, which is necessary to keep skin firm!
~ Use Retinoid - it minimizes the appearance of existing age spots and fine lines and prevents new ones from forming!
~ Stay Hydrated - H2O girls, the more hydrated your skin, the better those wrinkles will look!
~ Get Enough Sleep 
~ Maintain a Healthy Weight - the more your weight fluctuates, the harder it is to snap back into shape!
~ Eat Right and Eat Healthy
~ Get That Body MOVING - exercise increases blood flow to the skin and promotes a glowing healthy complexion!
~ Try and RELAX - stress causes cells to age faster!  I doomed!
~ Don't pick - our skin takes longer to repair itself the older we get, so don't pick at those blemishes!

Confessions of an Over 40 Make-Up Junkie!: Makeup Junkie/Rainee Rae bites the bullett!!!

Confessions of an Over 40 Make-Up Junkie!: Makeup Junkie/Rainee Rae bites the bullett!!!: O.k., so a quick rundown! I was supposed to do a very cool shoot yesterday for a young lady wanting to have her pictures printed in "Inked"...

Makeup Junkie/Rainee Rae bites the bullett!!!

O.k., so a quick rundown!  I was supposed to do a very cool shoot yesterday for a young lady wanting to have her pictures printed in "Inked" Magazine, and two photo shoots today.  Well due to a death in our family, and a death in the lives of the young lady and her husband, we had to cancel........BUMMER, but understandable.  So today I started at 10:00 a.m. on the most beautiful girl, natural wavy LONG blonde hair, legs up to....well THERE, and the bluest eyes around......GEEZ, she made me feel so OLD and quite outta shape and a whole lot weathered!!!!  BUT, she was a jewel to work with, we did 3 different looks starting very natural and ending in vixen......SO FUN!!!  My second young lady scheduled for our 2nd shoot had to cancel last minute......BUMMER #2!  BUT, it worked out well because I figured we could spend more time with blondie and it paid off, the wonderful photographer from "Inspired by Christy" did such an amazing job, we were in the weeds, corn fields, gazebo's, grass, and the pictures are going to be amazing!

In saying all of that, my first, all by myself, no help shoot went really well....I still have a lot to learn, and with time I will no longer have that horrible pain in the pit of my stomach that says....."Oh sweet Lord, what the HECK are you doing fool, you're too old to be hip, and too old to be good at make-up.........go back to bed"!!!!

I DID IT!!!!!!
