Eyeliner and Such

I bought makeup today. Eyeliner and eyeshadow. I think it's about time I started wearing makeup, maybe. I don't know, I have conflicting emotions about cosmetics and when you should start wearing them. Almost everyone I know wears makeup on a regular basis, right down to the girls who just turned 13. But not me. I think this is partly, or entirely, because I don't know how to apply makeup myself, without looking like a zombie or an Egyptian or even worse, an Egyptian mummy zombie. I probably would have a very different opinion of eyeliner if I could put it on properly. But, if I can't put it on myself, how did everyone else learn how to? Did I miss some sort of secret class that everyone attended? "Eyeliner 101," or something? I just don't get it. And another thing, what's with the really thick black eyeliner? That's a look I've been seeing, not just with the "goth" kids, but like even the "preppy" people. I don't really understand it. What's the rush to wear makeup, when you are only like 12 years old? There is plenty of time to slather all sorts of goops and creams and powders onto to your face when you actually have things to cover up. What do 12-year-olds have to cover? Unless them have been up all night and have huge circles under their eyes, or something. Speaking of under eye circles, I probably need to go to sleep soon. Especially since I want to get up early tomorrow morning and go to Bagel King... I'll continue my rant on makeup and when it's appropriate to wear it later on. I think I'm old enough to wear it, but I don't think I have the patience to go through the process of putting it on everyday. Eh, we'll see about it.
