First Professional Make Up Application today

[irish-deutsch.livejournal.com]

Just after the forementioned event in Brown Thomas (for those who don't know, one of the most upmarket ..probably the most expensive Chain Store in Ireland!) and felt really good ...amazingly good actually..as though I had taken just a small step further towards being who i wanted to be...lip gloss..subtle eye shadow, foundationand moisturiser...quite subtle and the artist said she will do something more elaborate next week. It dosen't make me a woman..but I really enjoyed the experience. Actually  A few people stared..2 people laughed..natural I suppose..Trying to grow confidence and not to let that worry me....but it dosen't look in any way ridiculous..just obvioulsy a tad unusual ..Just wondering how others felt when they first travelled down this road? How did you feel when you first wore make up in public? Were you self-conscious? Did you learn to relax quickly?. It wasn't my first time wearing make-up in public today..but it was my first time having it applied by a professional..I did it rather badly myself!
Hope all are well
