When I awoke with a start yesterday morning and saw the bright, red
digital clock numbers read 6:20 a.m., I flew out of bed in sheer panic.
You see, my flight was leaving at 7:10 a.m. — my flight to an extremely
important PR client meeting - and the airport is a good 30 minutes
away, provided there is absolutely no traffic…in Boston.
Crud. (The real word I was ranting repeatedly is not fit to print.)
Needless to say, I had little time to worry about my beauty ritual.
My main concern was making that flight. But amidst the chaos (”Honey,
wake up, get dressed - we have to leave N-O-W!”), I had the presence of mind to hurl my makeup bag into my purse.
From some stroke of luck, I made my flight. In fact, it was delayed
10 minutes. So I had a little time to try to make myself look
presentable, but I couldn’t stray too far to a bathroom in case they
decided to board early. So there I sat, in the airport terminal,
hurriedly applying mineral foundation, eye shadow and blush, out in the
open for the world to see.
Tacky, I know. But at the time, the necessity of the situation outweighed the mortification factor.
Afterward, did I look my best? Not even close. But believe me - it
certainly helped. And in the end, I got to the client meeting on time,
everything went smoothly, and no one was the wiser. But I still can’t
help but pray that I never again run into any of the people sitting
across from me in that terminal.
What about you? Were you ever forced to make a “beauty faux pas?”
Have you had your own mortifying makeup moment? Or do you think that
applying makeup in public isn’t a big deal? Tell me at this posting's original source or in the comments below!
