💄im going through my makeup stash and chucking things that i don’t like anymore, and it got me thinking about my journey with wearing makeup and how it’s another “rite of passage” thing that most girls deal with. i don’t remember having blatant restrictions on makeup in my household and outside middle school no one dared to try anything. but to point i feel like yt makeup tutorials were slim pickings back in the late 2000s/early 2010s. and i didn’t really become interested until later. i did have a black eyeliner that i used for my eyebrows (which i probably shouldn’t have).
i remember asking my mom when she started wearing makeup, and she told me more or so around 16 and her dad wouldn’t allow her and her sisters to wear certain makeup looks or certain color lipsticks. she mentioned that it’s because her parents didn’t want her to look older.
i hear that statement a lot from parents who restrict makeup use, saying that “it makes you look older”. and thinking about it now, 1) that’s bs if you think that a painted face on its own makes someone look older and 2) you mean you hate that certain styles make people seem more mature in attitude, too showy, or “slutty”, and that doesn’t make sense me either.
using makeup ≠ being more mature, sexual, etc. it’s just a product, no different than a crayon in my book

I’m unexpectedly at home with some free time, so I decided to get a yummy drink, put on some music, and try on something new with my makeup. Some of it is a bit rough because I’m using a new white eyeliner but it was so fun and so gender affirming and so girlhood jiji 🫧✨🥳💋💖💕🫶🏼🫶🏼🏳️⚧️

🗓1. Don't set an alarm and wake up naturally. Snooze for however long you want to, it's okay
2. Have breakfast. For me it's toast. Have it with butter/jam/honey and a lot of water and coffee and juice.
3. Listen to an album in full and do some puzzles until it ends. I like to stick a record on and do the nyt games (connections, then wordle, then the mini, then I'm ready for a crossword)
4. Shower and use all your best stuff. Smell great. Make your hair feel soft.
5. Wear an outfit you don't get to wear that often. I tend to wear the same thing over and over at work so I wear something a bit more fun and less practical.
6. Go outside. I live near a road with secondhand shops that are great browsing but quite tempting on a budget. To beat the temptation just look in the windows and then walk round the streets or to a green space if it's a nice day. Walk as fast or as slow as you like. Try and spot cats that might let you stroke them. See how each place you go smells different. Walk down streets that you've not been down before just because.
7. Come home and decide how much energy you have. If you have energy do an activity (I would write, play an instrument, do some art, read, play a game) if you don't then watch something from your watchlist. Saturdays feel like a good day to watch something new.
8. Cook yourself a meal. Start before you're hungry and spend ages on it. Use every pot. Listen to music. Sing whilst you wash the dishes.
9. Play! Video games, board games, internet games, card games, phone games, rearrange your plushies, embrace your inner child. Play with ideas, experiment with felt tip pens, write a limerick. Get silly with it.
10. Talk to your friends. Invite them over, call somebody up, text that person back you didn't have time to. I like to spend a good day off by myself then have a great time talking to people after I've recharged.
11. Have so much fun getting to do whatever you want you fall asleep at whatever time. Monday - Friday is about appeasing your body clock, Saturdays are for filthy pleasures like falling asleep at 3am because you were too busy flirting or reading or watching videos.
