![]() ![]() But I know her, and I know she’s struggling with the rat race, her long and arduous commute eating up her personal time, they have a new puppy who is Challenging, and she’s staffed on a project with an incredibly difficult and high-stakes client who is making her life hell right now. No one ever had to teach her how to put on eyeliner meanwhile I still have no idea. My sister is amazing – she runs spontaneous half-marathons with her husband, has a fabulous job in a glamorous office that she kicks ass at, has dressed like a stylish twenty-something since she was in junior high, etc. I recently was talking about my sister to my parents and said, “she is That B!tch,” and they weren’t familiar with the term (I explained it as similar to saying someone is “the sh!t”). Claire Lombardo described it in The Most Fun We Ever Had as “tinged with jealousy and double standards and affection as deep and intractable as marrow,” and in the repair of my relationship with one sister, and the evolution of my relationship with the other, I have found that to be decidedly true. (Also I’m turning 39 this year and my sister is turning 45) Has anyone ever felt jealousy towards someone else over their confidence in aging naturally or going barefaced? I recognize that this is my problem to deal with. I don’t know why I’m suddenly so bothered. I don’t like feeling the green eyed monster towards her when she didn’t do anything. She’s never said anything negative about me getting botox, wearing makeup or coloring my hair. But I’m so jealous that she doesn’t care about gray hairs or botox and is confident enough to never even own makeup. ![]() My sister always dresses impeccably and looks put together both inside and outside of work. She has always been this way so I don’t know why this is suddenly bothering me now. My sister doesn’t live in New York so it’s not like I’m seeing her daily. I’m Big 4 accounting, on track to make partner. She’s been a public defender her entire career. She has no interest in botox, anti-aging stuff or skin (retinol etc) beyond sunscreen and drug store moisturizer. My sister has never worn makeup, even for her wedding. I’m blonde and I’ve been coloring my hair for years and I started getting specific highlights to hide it after I noticed my first gray hair. She has never dyed her hair and has no interest in starting even as the grays come in. I recognize that this is probably a “me” issue and something I need to work on.

The pictured highlighter is $20, at Sephora. I also always use the highlighting pencil from Benefit below my brows this is much less opaque than that, with a lot more dimension.) (Comparing it to other highlighters I love and still use: it’s a bit more purpley and less peachy than my Glossier Haloscope (in Quartz, I think), and a bit more shimmery than my Armani fluid highlighter, which is a more pearly pink. It looks a bit intimidating with the iridescent colors, but after you blend it into your skin it’s just a subtle but powerful highlighter effect. One of my favorite things I’ve gotten recently is this highlighter from Danessa Myricks Beauty - I feel like it’s just so pretty on. ![]()
