šstory time! in high school i was so insecure that i literally would not leave the house without doing at least 30-40 mins of full face makeup. i decided to stop wearing it my senior year and became really determined to put it away for good.
but slowly over the last several years, i reintroduced mascara, then a tiny bit of concealer, then a little eyeliner, and now iāve found a routine that feels right for me! and i do not rely on it like i used to, i can walk outside without makeup and feel totally good about myself.
but ive also been scared of getting too much back into makeup. iāve been holding myself back because i donāt want to bring up those old insecurities and become completely reliant on it again. but i just bought a very colorful eyeshadow to try and it reminded me how fun it can be!!!
long story short, have fun with bringing color back into your life. dont let fears of regression stop you from experiencing joy!

šI have recently discovered the magic of simplifying my skincare routine and makeup has since followed!
I use drugstore products mostly, and I am v fair so I may use products that have shite shade ranges (sorry in advance if true)
my go-to products: *elf suntouchable primer is MAGIC ā a total supergoop dupe that makes my skin glow (and has sunscreen) *milani conceal + perfect foundation literally makes my jaw drop Iām OBSESSED, it doesnāt cake or pill, makes my skin feel hydrated, and blends sooo easily. I literally use my hands *eyelash curler, a cheap one works just as good as an expensive one *nars orgasm liquid blush is sooo good, can also pat with my hands to blend easily *clear mascara or brow gel + a solid tweezer and mini scissors to maintain brows *find a lip liner pencil shade that works for you and buy 20; lip lining is easy and really makes a difference even if you donāt use lipstick! (as long as the shade is subtle)

šDo you want a simple, buildable everyday routine? Or are you looking for fun, experimental and accessible recs?
My everyday makeup is blush (Ilia At Last multistick), mascara (Ilia volumizing mascara), and lipstick (Clinique Black Honey, or Ilia Colorblock in Tango).
When I want concealer or foundation, I use Nars Radiant Creamy concealer, and Tarte Maracuja tinted hydratorā if I want something lighter I might just top my face with Laura Mercier loose setting powder.
If you want eye makeup or night out recs, I have this Morphe pink palette Iāve used forever, and the Tarte Quick Stick eyeliner and shadow sticks.
Itās very okay to still feel ābad at makeupāā it should feel fun, and low stakes, and what works for other people might not be what works for youā you have your whole life to find your products.

šWe all know airports and flying are kind of an iteration of Hell at this point, so why not make travel fun? Comes with a bunk bed and feels quintessentially American, but the good parts (traveling through the country, power of industry, pre-made food). The coffee tastes like nothing, though.
