Doing your makeup in the morning can feel like a real chore - I think most women feel that way.
That it's something you just gotta quickly get through before you rush out the door and it's always a pain.
Maybe your brushes are always dirty, the area you do your makeup is dark or not peaceful......
I truly believe that a huge reason why you don't enjoy doing your makeup isn't because you don't know what you're doing with the makeup steps (which is of course still a big contributing factor), but, it's also that you just don't enjoy where you do your makeup.
What if you had an area of your home where you could come to and everything is there that you need.
No need to get your lipstick out of the car, sunscreen out of the bathroom cupboard and powder from your handbag before you can sit down to do your makeup.
Have it all in one place - keep it neat, tidy and inspirational and you'll already start to look forward to doing your makeup and put that extra spring in your morning routine.
You may be wondering okay buttttt Emily I can't just get a spare makeup room and a Hollywood vanity mirror like you.
I know, I know. I don't expect you to nor do you need that to have a good home makeup setup.
Remember, this is my job. I am a professional makeup artist by trade and I wouldn't have what I have either if I didn't have to.
I know on Youtube and Instagram all we see is a fancy setup with lights and pink, faux-fur cushions on their glass vanity chair.
But, that's a luxury and not a necessity.
Here's what I would do to create a nice, home makeup setup without spending a cent and my hot tips to look out for at your home.
Remember, don't be afraid to change it up.
Just because you've been using the bathroom for the past 10 years doesn't mean you can't move to your bedroom or office (may feel odd, but, read on and you'll find out why) and the change is irreversible if you don't like it.
