Oh my, high school! I graduated in 1998. Some of the lipsticks I wore and can remember are MAC Chelsea, Chintz, Photo, Paramount or Fluid. I liked those browns and darkness reigned. I never wore pink lipstick, always something dark. I started tweezing my brows around grade 10, thank goodness my cousins got me doing that early I wore whatever drug store foundation I could find that was close enough to my skin. Once I got a job though, I started using MAC Studio Fix. I wore dark brown or black eyeliner, with a bit of mascara that was barely visible. My ‘peak’ was probably at one of the high school fashion shows when I wore MAC Haze (still have it!), Vex and Tilt eyeshadows, along with this holographic rainbow dress I made. Lol! I look back now and realized it was hilarious.

Besides that, I was the ‘Nailpolish Queen’. Some of friends even wanted me to get my locker plate with that on it, but I chose ‘Cosmic Girl’ due to the previously mentioned dress. At our reunion last year, some of them remembered my nickname and asked if I still had my collection. With quite a few disposals and new additions, but of course I still had it, just with much better quality nailpolish =).

Hi Catherine,

Aren’t shaped brows a whole new world? I look at old pics and go WHOA when I see my fuzzy brows, LOL!

LOL. I love this post! =)

I didn’t really wear makeup in high school. I started using BE foundation like… my Junior year or so with a tad of blush? And I wore Rimmel pressed powder as concealer for my undereyes. No lipstick, not much lipgloss either, just chapstick and no eye makeup. Actually, I expressly remember the two times I tried my mom’s Clinique GWP eyeshadows and ended up with styes both times. I didn’t try wearing eyeshadow again until 4 years later!!! Last winter, actually lol and I’m now going into my 4th year of college.

And lol, I think everyone’s brows were a mess back then! I didn’t start shaping mine ’till less than a year ago and it made SUCH A HUGE DIFFERENCE. I didn’t really *have* brows before that… just … fuzz, very sparse disseminated fuzz from the middle of my lid to the middle of my forehead with a slight concentration where an eyebrow should be lol.
