I don’t wear mascara<\/a> – I haven’t for almost 6 years! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n\n\n\nAnd there you have it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Makeup preferences can change with time and lifestyle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n It’s a very simple look that I wear almost everyday, with very little variation. The main variations are in the choice of colours and products I choose to use. But otherwise, it is not only quick, I think it looks fresher too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It also ties in with a change in lifestyle for me. I now lead a simpler, more casual lifestyle. It reflects itself in my choice of clothes and in how I do my makeup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It also ties in with better self-confidence in how I look. I don’t need for anyone to actually see the makeup I’m wearing anymore. I don’t wear it to impress anyone, nor do I wear it to show off any non-existent skills. I wear makeup because I enjoy it. If I don’t want to wear it, I don’t. But if I want to, I do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And sometimes, that’s all there is to it. Growing up, maturing in your views and outlook on life, and having your lifestyle change all play a part. I now have palettes of blue and bright coloured eyeshadows gathering dust in my drawers \ud83d\ude1b Yet, I’m loathe to toss them out \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For fun, I thought I’d show you how I might have used to do my makeup back in the day, and how I do my makeup these days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nOn left is how I used to do my makeup almost on a daily basis. Yep, blue eyeshadow and chockfull of shimmer! \ud83d\ude00 Pink blush applied on the sides of the cheeks (the smile and swipe trick everyone does), a heavy base with concealer and powder to set, and a bold lip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On right is basically how I tend to look today on a daily basis. Very light, barely there eye makeup, bolder brow, sheerer base with just a very light or no setting powder, cheek colour dabbed under the eyes and to the sides of cheek, and a bold lip. In fact, today I wear lighter lip colours too, compared to what I used to before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with either look. The first used to take me much longer, while the second is now quicker. The second suits my current lifestyle better, and if I hanker for the good ol’ days, I just pile it on \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nHas your makeup preferences changed over the years? Do you use more today or less?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n I don’t think I use less per se, but I think I’m more economical in my use, and choice of colours and textures. Makeup is fun – if you don’t like it, just wipe it off and start over! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
