I'm 20 years old, if you haven't guessed already. (Some of my blog posts may have hinted to this fact, since I have told you guys what year of university I'm in...)
And I don't wear make-up on a regular basis.
Ever since I was a little girl, I told myself, and the people around me, I would never wear make-up.
So far, I have kept to this statement, except on special occasions like my high school graduation. On rare occasions, I put on a lip gloss, but I usually have my trusty Burt's Bees lip balm around and that's what I put on my lips. (I'm really into natural things, ingredients I can read and understand.)
But now I'm thinking, knowing how to put make-up on myself, and on other people, would be a good skill to learn and to have.
Obviously I wouldn't wear the whole sha-bang every single day, since when I do put make-up on, taking it off is the worst part. (The last time I put eyeliner on, it took about 6 Q-tips, both sides, and one round cotton disc to take it all off, because I was paranoid the liner was hiding in my lashes and it would be there forever. I also refuse to put on mascara because that shit would take even more time to remove; my lashes are naturally long, if I do say so myself.)
When I would need to put on make-up though, for nice events and certain occasions, I would know like to know how to put the stuff in a nice way, instead of guessing and half-assing it.
I look at the beauty gurus' tutorials and videos (bubzbeauty on YouTube! She's the only one I'm subscribed to however: she's very down to earth, silly, cute; she's not afraid to make a fool out of herself and I admire her for that) and how they put make-up on. They do it effortlessly, but I know that they practiced and experimented a lot with different products, and that's why they're so good. I don't want to practice though. I'm not down with putting something on and taking it off right after, especially if it takes more than 5 seconds to remove.
...So basically I'm just being lazy and pessimistic. What's new? :)
I hope you guys didn't mind the round-aboutedness of this post. Haha, my brain, it's lovely.
Love.
