How I Put on My Face

Time and time again we have all encountered this question: What's the secret to looking beautiful? Well, the answer to this question has not been revealed to me yet, but, today I will show you how I achieve my hot potato look every day.

I begin by gently cleansing my face of all the build up negativity from the day before and exfoliating to let in the positivity. Then I put on a primer to soften my harsh outlook on life. The next step is foundation. Now, this is very crucial. While you're blending you have to make sure you're covering all aspects of your life evenly. How are you doing on an intellectual, emotional, physical, and spiritual level? Are you constantly trying to pick your brain and be the best version of yourself? Are you addressing all your feelings in a healthy way instead of repressing them? Are you taking care of your body and drinking lots of water? 

After my face is prepped I move on to the eyes. I like to line my eyes properly so that I can see through all the fakes. Then I like to do a little cat eye so that a. everyone knows how much I adore cats, b. the cats accept me as their own. Now, lining the eyes is not enough. So I use mascara to REALLY open up my eyes and help me see the world better. I finish it by dabbing a little glitter on the outer corner of my eyes because nothing screams fabulous like glitter.

At this point, you need to brighten up your life with some colour. Enter blush; then, a touch of highlighter to deflect the daily negative comments. Lastly, it is important to cover your lips with some kind words (if you don't want a dead person's tapes delivered to your doorsteps) because very often people leave this out. You should also remember to not overdo it. A lot of times people are kind for all the wrong reasons.

The look is completed with a bit of hair spray to boost self esteem and bring liveliness.

In short, ask yourself this: does what you do on the outside reflect how you feel on the inside? Think about it.
