Black Lipliner

God, the past, amiright?  What an awful time for fashion.  People all walking around, wearing things we now know are terrible, leavened with only a few things we now know are perennial classics--and they didn't seem to know the difference!  It was an era without debate, in which people (far more innocent and credulous than the sophisticates of today) uncritically swallowed ridiculous new trends.   And how readily they embraced quaint beauty technology, like sugaring, or dry shampoo, or sonic face brushes, or haircuts!  In our wisdom, we can look back on them and shake our heads, and smile.
But oh, the past.  What elegance!  Back then, people knew how to dress.  Effortless style was everywhere--just look at the old pictures!  We didn't have this treadmill culture of beauty products and endlessly rotating fashions, but instead everything stayed the same year to year, and everyone was comfortable, knowing just how to put themselves forward.  People took better care of themselves, too--without all this stress, they could just focus on keeping healthy and happy, and that was always in style!  It all added up to a genuine, classic look that made you proud to be just who you were.
