AND as most of you know, I NEVER wear make-up because I just don't know how to put it on. I have wrinkles..lots of DEEP worry lines on my forehead and bridge of my nose (I am quite sure that my dissertation has caused much of this.). So many wrinkles that one of my students asked me this week if I was 15 years older than I actually am. (Between my student and the McDonald's guy, I think I am getting a complex..... ) Ideas? I try make-up, and it seems to make the wrinkles look worse! I don't have the money for botox or really anything other than maybe getting my hair fixed. I am allergic to everything under the sun. PLEASE help. Where can I go to get some make-up help. Is there some make-up that "floats" on the wrinkles instead of making them look worse? I am quite frankly scared to go around here...frizzy bleached blond hair and bright blue eyeshadow is not the look that I am going for....
AOII Sisters help out a sister in need of a GC make-over!

Since I'm not down there to help in person and can't afford either the time off or the plane fare to see you. . . .
I agree with the strawberry blonde rather than a more true red. Definitely talk to the person doing your hair (highlights, low-lights, etc).
Definitely go to a cosmetic counter or two - but make sure you are also clear with them what you like and what you don't like. If the person won't listen to anything you have to say (more natural versus dramatic, etc) feel free to get up out of the chair. Ask for samples. Ask for them to SHOW you what they are doing and help you to be able to repeat the look. My recommendations for 'counters' to work with are Lancome (obviously!), Aveda, Chanel, Bobbi Brown, and Trish McEvoy.
With regards to the lines, you may just need a good exfoliation. I would recommend a microdermabrasion (NOT at a dermatologist because those are just TOO expensive. I can send you a little one if you would like).
Let me know if I can help anymore!!
Love ya!!
