Putting my face on

[Cadaverous Pallor]

A girlfriend of mine and I wandered over to the Clinique counter last weekend to pick her up some of her fav moisturizer. I decided to let the lady in the lab coat have at me with concealer and foundation. She tapped my forehead for ages. When I looked in the mirror I looked...the same. In fact, I thought I looked worse. Same contrast between normal and freckle skin, but paler all over. Lame.

There was also this great moment where I explained the freckle and she said "like sunspots, right?" Yes, like sunspots, a word so heavily laden with baggage that it makes me cringe, but yeah. Then she point-blank asks "how old are you?" and when I promply (and honestly) reply, she says "you sure don't look it." Right. I believe that you mean that, really I do, after you made sure to label the two-inch wide thing on my forehead a sunspot. I guess I should be thankful she didn't call it an age spot.

Anyway, I'd have to go darker to really conceal my Old Age Spot. I'd have to look tan every day. I'm obviously not going to do that.
