You’ve said yes to catching up with your girlfriends for a drink at the rooftop lounge after work. As you start to get ready, you procrastinate doing your makeup because “ugh it’s such a chore” and you don’t really like the result anyway.
You throw on the same basic look but it’s really so….well, basic. So, you pull out the pretty eyeshadow palette that’s been collecting dust and thought ‘why not give this a go’ to look extra spesh.
But, you quickly remember why it’s been put at the bottom of the draw. The colours are giving you a black eye like Rachel from Friends when Ross did her makeup. Even though that was a cute scene, it’s not quite the look you’re going for.
It’s those moments you say ‘I wish I could do my makeup nicely’. That desire is there but it seems so far-fetched.
Then Monday comes back around and as the mundane of the workweek comes and goes, you forget about the desire to improve your makeup.
It’s been put in the too hard basket because every Tik Tok shows a million steps that you don't have time for anyway nor the money to dump on a hundred products.
Before you know it, it’s been 10 years and you’re still doing the same oh-so-basic makeup routine which you were never even taught how to do properly.
You can’t even remember where the bronzer came from and the mascara you redeemed in products from that one time you got your makeup professionally done, is starting to look a bit…..how-ya-going.
(Oh, if you’re not from Australia, we can use that term not just as a greeting but also when something is a bit….peculiar haha).
Friend, I get it. I’ve been there.
I’m basically writing a summary of my life back in the day when I didn’t even know what the difference was between a concealer and a foundation.
Perhaps you can relate?
You might be like “YES! Emily okay okay, you got me, yes, that’s me.
But, what do I do about it?”
