Lovely, stylish ladies, you really helped me a couple of months ago when I had a black tie dinner to attend and was wearing a medical collar. Glad to say that all passed off okay, although emotional!
I wonder if I could ask for more advice? This evening, DH and I are attending a posh-ish dinner this evening and I want to look as nice as possible. However, I have facial falsy on the left hand side of my face, which means my mouth doesn't move on that side and is more or less in a straight line with a slight downward droop, and my left eye has been sewn up at the outer corner to make it slightly smaller than my right eye (for protection as the surgeons weren't sure I would be able to blink and protect my eye from debris after losing my facial nerve, so they reduced the eye surface a little). Now, I feel I would like to try some eye make-up but don't want to do it if it makes the difference between my eyes even more obvious.
Do you have any suggestions or should I just leave it as it is and trust that my magnetic personality will overpower everyone and they won't notice I look a bit different??
Thank you kindly.
