It all starts with having a clean slate. Washing away any impurities and imperfections from the past, and scrubbing for perfection. After realizing there has been damage that won’t automatically disappear, the makeup routine comes into play.
Begin with the eyes. The eyes are the main attraction, and your windows to the world. Sometimes we unknowingly speak with our eyes. As much as we try to hide or remain silent, the eyes speak volumes. So play them up! Go for a color palette that fits your mood. Purple is always pretty paired with a heavy black liner. Don’t forget to groom the brows! Brows can be the make or breaker, and the goal is never to be broken. Right?
Next, there is primer before foundation. Prime and mentally prep before masking those insecurities to the world. Then, grab your tinted moisturizer, liquid or powder, and begin to cover up what you don’t want others to know. Be open, but always reserve a little for yourself. Allow time for healing, be patient, and don’t cake your face to the point where there is no return. Set a foundation.
Let’s move on to the cheeks–our pillows of embarrassment, our gatekeepers of nerves, and sometimes compassion. No, we all don’t get naturally rosy, but one rouge sweep can create the illusion. The cheeks add structure to the situation. The cheeks create balance. Think about the highlights of life, smile, and sweep bronzer throughout your cheekbones. Exaggerate the bronze goddess in you!
Finally seal the deal with the lips. The lips are associated with the voice. Your voice is what can change preconceived opinions. The voice is what sets you free. The voice is what will get you to the next level when others are in doubt. The voice portrays beauty x 2 with or without the makeup. So be sure to make your bold lipstick pop! Don’t forget that glossy overlay for a lasting impression. When you speak, you’ll speak with confidence, passion, and dignity. Remember, those are the lips that you want everyone to remember.
THIS IS THE MAKEUP ROUTINE. DISSECTED.
