One - Know What You're Doing
This is kinda Captain Obvious, but, I just wanted to start here.
Naturally, any task or activity you do where you know what you're doing and are good at it, is going to be more enjoyable and less stressful.
Put me in a makeup room and I am good to go.
Put me on a dancefloor and your girl will die from embarrassment and attempting it will make me feel stressed as I have no idea what I am doing.
(I tried ballet as a little girl, I am not delicate enough. So, I tried hip hop and it was at least a little improvement since I could be heavier-footed and less graceful lol).
Now, before I lose you and you get stressed just reading this first point - hear me out.
Knowing what you're doing does not mean you need to be a pro or at least super skilled at it. Not in the slightest.
Just meet yourself where you are and use what you have and make a plan with that, so you know what you're doing.
Here's what I mean.
Do you own a lipstick, a blush and a mascara? Wonderful. Make a plan so you know what you're doing.
Look up some tutorials on my page or find one on youtube of how to apply your lipstick and blush and what colours to choose to match your dress.
Then, when you sit down to do it, you know what you're doing and can get started without having to research on the spot.
Just like me on a dancefloor.
When it was our Wedding, I knew I had to get on there. In fact, my Husband equally (or, much more) dis-likes being on a dance floor.
Did we know what we were doing in the way that we were skilled dancers? Haha, no!
But, we did know what we were doing when we got up there. It was a hand around the waist, slow dance. Not a surprise-my-husband-with-a-Beyonce-choreographed-dance. That would make me stressed and insecure for sure.
But, we instead enjoyed our dance and were not stressed because we met ourselves where we were at and made a plan.
It'll be like this with your makeup routine, no matter your skill level, you can know what you're doing and enjoy it.
