Anyone else feeling this way right now?
(insert sound effect here TUMBLE WEED or RAPTUROUS APPLAUSE)
Now let me first make it clear that I LOVE how my face looks in makeup…I mean come on, who doesn’t?!
But lately I’ve just not really been enjoying wearing makeup as much as I did before.
The very thought of having to do my makeup to go somewhere really frustrates me real deep… I mean REAL DEEP!
It’s the process *sigh*
- get make up bag
- sit down in front of mirror
- cleanse and tone face
- wait for face to dry
- choose foundation
- put foundation on
- (btw I don’t prime my face as I have dry skin)
- but I do prime my eye lids lol
- do brows
- put on concealer
- wait
- wait
- wait
- blend in concealer
- set with powder
- (ain’t no baking round here hunny)
- put on mascara
- sort out clumps in mascara
- contour
- blush
- highlight
- look in mirror and decide it all looks a mess
- but walks away because one of my children have done something naughty.
Now my process doesn’t include half the things most women these days do and I seriously cant be bothered.
Sometimes I feel like ‘maybe if I had more time’ or ‘maybe if I had more products’ or ‘maybe if a makeup artist lived at my house and could do my makeup everyday’ kinda feelings, MAYBE I would feel more compelled to make the effort.
Now, I know that I don’t need to wear makeup to feel good about myself or even look attractive, but there are times when wearing make up completes my overall look i.e for work or a singing engagement and other times when I need something to cover the bags under my eyes from being up half the night with my #BOSSBaby and to give me a pep in my step.
With all that being said… I’m going to drag myself to wipe my make up off right now (rolls eyes right to the back of head).
*sigh*

I can definitely relate to this, going through a phase where I’d rather go bare face and let natural beauty shine, sometimes there’s too much emphasis on being ‘done up’ all the time!
