The most recent era of the dangly earring has passed. (The era of the 'brightly colored acrylic/enameled shard' apparently hasn't come back. Thank goodness.)

Who’s me? I am female, 46 years old (yep, I’m older than the internet) and thoughout my life I’ve had several short-term relationships with makeup.

I’d go from trying to wear shadow and eyeliner and mascara and lipstick to mascara-and-liptint, then eventually would even give up the mascara. Then I’d let all the makeup sit untouched for over a year...
