Its Summer. i know I will sweat, and I will scrunch my eyes , and I will eat food. these days I try to do my makeup so that it ages well - soft, blurry undereyeliner that will travel and smudge in a way that looks intentionally grungy, lip products that either stain well or look good faded. You get the idea. You shouldn’t have to spend the day wondering whether your makeup has started to look weird, or have to reapply your face every couple of hours is all I’m saying.

I like my makeup splotchy, a little chaotic, and smudged to perfection. I want it to look like I just made out with someone and/or just had a good cry. Once I’ve smeared enough colors around, I usually add touches of glitter to tie the look together.

Do you want a simple, buildable everyday routine? Or are you looking for fun, experimental and accessible recs?
My everyday makeup is blush (Ilia At Last multistick), mascara (Ilia volumizing mascara), and lipstick (Clinique Black Honey, or Ilia Colorblock in Tango).
When I want concealer or foundation, I use Nars Radiant Creamy concealer, and Tarte Maracuja tinted hydrator— if I want something lighter I might just top my face with Laura Mercier loose setting powder.
If you want eye makeup or night out recs, I have this Morphe pink palette I’ve used forever, and the Tarte Quick Stick eyeliner and shadow sticks.
It’s very okay to still feel “bad at makeup”— it should feel fun, and low stakes, and what works for other people might not be what works for you— you have your whole life to find your products.

For some reason I feel prettiest when I’ve woken up in my makeup from the night before. My face makeup has worn away leaving me with light coverage and visible freckles. My eyeliner has smudged just enough to be visible under my eyes. My mascara is perfectly intact somehow. Maybe it’s just the confidence from a fun party the night before or maybe not. But I feel pretty :)

Gazpacho only in the late summer, persimmons only in the winter, etc. just because we can import anything from anywhere anytime doesn’t mean we should. Nothing is special if you can have it whenever you want it.

no podcasts no music no earbuds… sometimes it’s nice to not listen to anything and just let yourself be raw in the world for a bit
