Beauty Dare: Makeup in the Dark

Before the challenge: “I was actually excited to try this, but then I got super nervous right before the lights went out. I made sure to put out my products in the order that I usually put them on, which helped a lot.”

The hardest part: “See that line against my cheek? Yeah, I obviously had issues with blending. It was too poorly done to pass off as ‘contouring,’ so I just admitted that I got really flustered while putting on my bronzer (I probably did two applications without realizing it). And if you look close enough, I totally colored outside the lines with my lipstick.”

Her results: “I really didn’t like the way my eyes turned out. I was afraid of making mistakes, so I toned it down a bit with the eye shadow and mascara. But looking at my picture, I kind of wish I had spent more time on my eyes instead of rushing through them.”

Rumors surrounding my demise have been mostly false. After a brief sojourn out into a strange world-- a world of big green things, and small fuzzy things, and no wireless fidelity to be found! --I have triumphantly returned, lusting for any sort of contact with the interwebz. Lolcats pictures are making me giggle, I'm posting trolling messages on bulletin boards, and I am even-- yes, it shames me to say this --watching AMVs on youtube.

Hopefully I'll get my electronic addiction back under control, and be at baseline nerdiness once again.

So I'm Kevin. I like to play videogames, and make snarky commentary about said videogames. My general approach to games tends to be a more pragmatic one, eschewing scholarly examinations in favor of simple questions like "is it fun?". When not playing videogames, I tend to browse craigslist in some effort to fill the aching hole in my heart. Thus far, nothing on the "free stuff" section has managed to do it, but I still hold onto hope!
