The Beauty Of Makeup

Dear future self,


Today, you wore makeup for the first time! If you didn't know, people my age these days are wearing makeup everyday, but the thing is, today I finally found out why some people actually like wearing makeup.

It was 6pm and I was too lazy to do anything so I decided to experiment with  the makeup products I have but never really use.

I didn't really know how to put on makeup and which brushed are used for the different products, but hey I'm glad I binged watched beauty gurus because at least my makeup won't be half bad, right?

"So foundation first, then concealer, okay now set it with powder. Not bad. Let's try putting on eyeshadow. Oh man! I look like I have a black eye. Wait, what the hell is a smudge brush. Hm...guess I'll use that to fix my panda eyes. Oh wow! That looks good. Eyeliner? Heck yes. Doesn't look too good. Oh well! Ow. Poked my eye with the mascara brush. Last but not least, lip gloss. Okay, done!"

When I looked at my reflection in the mirror, I felt as though a model was staring back at me.

Obviously, my makeup skill wasn't that great but what was great was the way I felt about myself at that moment on. I felt so beautiful and I couldn't stop looking at myself. Also, that's why I took a million selfies.

Anyway, I've realized the beauty of makeup and why people love it so much.

The thing is, it's not really what other people think of your makeup, but it's about the way it makes you feel when you wear it.

I felt like Cinderella (minus the Prince Charming and the carriage), and I couldn't resist to put a "model" look on my face because that's exactly how I was feeling, like a model.

Future self, today I learnt a bunch of things at school but none of them really stuck to me like how my experience with makeup has.

I felt so gorgeous with my not so good makeup look on and it didn't matter how bad it looked, but just the way it changed me to a different, more beautiful person does.

I know future self, you probably have a job that requires you to wear makeup.And you're probably expert at putting makeup on, but you're past self here is still a baby chick that just hatched into the beauty world. Give me some time to explore this amazing world!


Yours sincerely,
     your past self

  1. YES! You have all the key points of why makeup is so appealing. "it's not really what other people think of your makeup, but it's about the way it makes you feel when you wear it." Love this quote

  2. Your blog is so pretty, I just love the header :)
    When I first tried putting makeup on I poked my eye out with the mascara brush too. I actually still do that...
