MAKE IT UP
No, seriously, just make shit up. That's what I do.
Makeup has been around for about 7,000 years. Give or take, i'm no expert. Over time different techniques of application have been invented and different trends have emerged. For me, makeup is a fun way to experiment with different looks and every day when I go to get ready I get to decide who I want to be for the day. Growing up I was never THAT into makeup, but then I saw this wonderful show called Euphoria. If you have never seen it, you should. Not only is the story line heart wrenching, but the fashion is iconic, the characters are all beautiful, and the makeup is just W O W. Ever since I saw the show something in my mind changed. I began to play around more with color, textures, shapes and realized life is too short to have boring makeup everyday.
The power of makeup truly astonishes me sometimes as I can literally watch myself transform into a whole new person while I get ready. My inspiration sometimes comes from other artists, and sometimes I stalk social media in search of new ideas. But then, I get sucked into a wormhole of influencers, and I begin to think I'm not good enough, or pretty enough, or that I NEED makeup to be beautiful. As I stalk all of these beautiful people online I start to feel as though, I too, need to be just like them, but then I remember that in fact, I don't. I don't need makeup but it sure is fun. Makeup is used as a way to express myself not to define who I am and it should not define who you are either, because believe it or not, what people say is true: it's what's on the inside that matters. So yeah, makeup is great and all, but don't forget that it's not everything!!
I just think it's fun. OKAY. Now here are some of my looks for you to look at.
And last but not least,
