I’m really game to try most things, and a lot of what I do IS trying the popular/buzzed about releases and seeing if they’re worth it. I’ll say that my interest wanes thin when it comes to similar shades, like I can only get so interested in a new red lipstick–I’m more apt to get excited...
There’s not one specific brand as I would want to work with a brand that would let me have control over the product(s) created, didn’t rush me, were committed to putting out quality products, and genuinely appreciated what I brought to the table as much as I appreciated what they did. Even...
Wear sunscreen, wee one! Oh, and try to learn something about hair so you’re not totally incompetent with it when you’re in your 30s. The whole hair styling is like walking uphill in both directions for me now.
Yes, for sure! When I like my makeup, it puts a little extra bounce in my step. If I’m feeling uninspired, often playing with textures or colors and trying to come up with something fun will reinvigorate me. I really enjoy watching eyeshadows blend and play off each other, so just that process...
These days, no, not so much. I don’t hold back or adjust how I act or whether I’ll interact with others based on what makeup I’m wearing or what makeup I’m not wearing. When I was in school, I absolutely noticed a difference in treatment by the majority of professors and to a lesser degree,...
I don’t have any radical changes these days, as I do not find my skin is as dry as it used to be, so it seems more normal most of the time. I’m more inclined to add in a hydrating serum or go for a heavier night cream or balm if I feel any dryness coming up but not any hard and fast changes that...
Absolutely! There are days where I feel more or less confident, and the right makeup look (usually when it comes together the way I wanted, haha) can help boost my mood. There are moments, though, when I’ve worn heavier coverage long enough that I can feel more self-conscious about my natural...
I like today’s makeup, mostly because I appreciate that there’s a lot more individuality across fashion and beauty. There are still trends and looks that a lot of people may gravitate toward, but I still feel like the makeup I see really runs the spectrum from barely-there to full face of makeup...
Keep all of your go-to basics (foundation, powder, brow gel, etc.) organized and together! The more of your “usual” things that are together and easily accessible, the faster the routine will go!
I’d like to see glossy lips come back but in lipstick form–more luminous, pearlized finishes–which I think we’re seeing some resurgence of but not yet enough, IMO!
