i'm trying to use up my old makeup stash which means putting on some of the stuff i wouldn't normally wear so that it can be gone. turns out the highlighters i got in 2016 weren't too bad of a decision after all im just too detached to replace them once they're gone. enjoying it while it lasts!! which will be a while since i have three kinds left to use up

💄Its Summer. i know I will sweat, and I will scrunch my eyes , and I will eat food. these days I try to do my makeup so that it ages well - soft, blurry undereyeliner that will travel and smudge in a way that looks intentionally grungy, lip products that either stain well or look good faded. You get the idea. You shouldn’t have to spend the day wondering whether your makeup has started to look weird, or have to reapply your face every couple of hours is all I’m saying.

💋story time! in high school i was so insecure that i literally would not leave the house without doing at least 30-40 mins of full face makeup. i decided to stop wearing it my senior year and became really determined to put it away for good.
but slowly over the last several years, i reintroduced mascara, then a tiny bit of concealer, then a little eyeliner, and now i’ve found a routine that feels right for me! and i do not rely on it like i used to, i can walk outside without makeup and feel totally good about myself.
but ive also been scared of getting too much back into makeup. i’ve been holding myself back because i don’t want to bring up those old insecurities and become completely reliant on it again. but i just bought a very colorful eyeshadow to try and it reminded me how fun it can be!!!
long story short, have fun with bringing color back into your life. dont let fears of regression stop you from experiencing joy!
