I HATE MAKE-UP! ¦ ConfidentlyKim

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*
