How I did makeup

When people ask me how I learned to do makeup, I always say this:

"The first step is, you have to accept that you don't know makeup."

Just like everything in this world, mastery takes practice. Of course I don't want to call myself an expert, because I'm not. To this point, I still think I don't know makeup. It's a continuous process, until you realize you're getting more and more compliments. And that's when you know you're actually getting somewhere.

"Second step is, you have to go out looking like someone who doesn't know makeup."

Many people, girls per se, fear makeup because they've already established the fact that they suck at it. But how else will you learn?

Engage, people.
ENGAGE.

I started wearing makeup embarrassed of it. For a long time I've kept my bangs at bay because I don't know how to deal with my eyebrows. I still don't. But I do my brows every morning anyway. Sometimes it gets too thick, sometimes uneven or crooked. But I don't care. I go out as if I paid thousands on a makeup artist.

So excuse me, M, if my brows aren't on fleek!
I am still learning.
And I think I'll forever be learning.
Until I forget that I am.


"Thirdly is, you have to do it everyday (or as often as you can). Incorporate it to your routine (That's how you forget you were still learning). Even if you're not going out, practice that god damn winged liner!"

At first it would look horrible, then it would look bad, then it would look less bad, then you will always think it's not good enough. You never really accept that you're good at it, unless you actually make it your career.

Don't worry, that's actually your standards, elevating.

Commitment people.

Just do it.

Oh and ps. Here's a tip:

"Start basic."

Use cheap makeup, it doesn't matter. I started with the same thing. Over time you invest on good products. You'll get there darling.

When I started makeup, I only do eyeliner and powder, then tinted lip balms, bronzers, blushes, mascara, brows, and then foundation. No need for you to start big, not right away.

Start. Basic.
