So, I’m not going to lie. I have never really been a “make-up” person. My mom barely wore any make-up so I didn’t grow up watching her do her hair and make-up everyday. Instead she taught me to wear powder, some blush, and that’s about it. I started adding eyeliner in high school but I always wore it on my water line. Seriously, I had NO IDEA what I was doing! Luckily, I had the skin complexion that I didn’t really NEED to wear the foundation and concealer to cover up blemishes and pimples.

I’m not kidding, this went on FOR YEARS! Even four years ago, I wasn’t really wearing make-up. Some foundations, some blush, and some eyeliner. That’s it.

Don’t get my wrong. I thought I looked gorgeous! There is nothing wrong with not wearing make-up AT ALL! But I kept seeing my friends apply their make-up with such precision and professionalism. I didn’t know how they did it. They took FOREVER to get ready but always looked flawless! I was jealous because I had NO IDEA what I was doing. Especially when it came to “the wing” or the “smokey eye.” I also thought I looked like a clown because I never really wore make-up before. Plus, seeing 12 and 13 year olds apply make-up better than me kinda made me sad (in fact while I was watching make-up tutorials today, I seriously watched someone who was 12 years old).
Lately, I have really been experimenting with my make-up and have come to love it! I have learned what colors go well with my eyes, I have figured out how to apply my eye shadow, how to correctly apply mascara without getting it all over my face, and I stopped wearing my eyeliner on my water line.
I woke up today and decided to watch some make-up tutorials.
GET THIS!
I actually figured out how to apply a winged eyeliner and I did some contouring. Now of course I want to go and spend all of my money on make-up.
I feel beautiful in both of my before and after picture. However, I really and truly feel confident and amazing when I apply my make-up in a new way and nail it!
Love it! You’ve come a long way! ❤
