OK, so I've never been much of a makeup person, but now that I live in the slightly more formal South it seems that no one goes out without makeup on. Since one of the requirements of my dress code is that I not get mistaken for a student, I needed help looking a bit more professional.

I borrowed this book from the library. It's light on actual content, but the portion about the 5-minute daily makeup regimen is clear. The appendix even lists recommended brands and colors, and includes an expensive and cheap product for each item.

So, don't buy this book unless you really love fluffy beauty books, but if you're a late bloomer as far as cosmetics it's a good crash course for people who don't have much time in the morning.

255612 Abby has been raving about some stuff called Bare Escentuals. Seems like it might be a good choice for your climate. :) She and I are going to have a playdate for me to try it out after she moves.
