story 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 iโve 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. iโve been holding myself back because i donโt 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!
