I went to a photo shoot yesterday, for a national magazine. If you want to see my take on it, please click on this link to some Facebook photos. I loved the hair do, and the make up, although heavy and for me, in terms of what I usually wear, applied liberally with a trowel, I kind of liked it. So off I go to Boots today and buy some stuff.
And it’s not cheap!! I wasn’t loving that bit, as I resent spending money on make up. Why? Because up to now, I’ve been a firm believer that to be honest, women should all be happy and confident enough in their own skins, to feel good about themselves and for other people to find them attractive enough as they are, without moisturiser, primer (yes, primer like for painting), concealar, eye brightener, foundation and then setting powder on top of you, before you even think about eye shadow, blusher and lipstick or putting bronzing stuff over the top!
So now I can’t work out if I’m selling out, on my opinions and views for so many years, or not? I’m enjoying playing with make up, trying and failing to flick my hair with the GHDs. But is it me, is it what I believe in?
I do not want to be someone who says I can’t leave the house because I’ve not put my make up on – that’s nuts !!! If you hear me saying that please kick me. It’s not wrong for someone else who feels that but I don’t want it to be right for me. Does that make sense?
Anyway, it’s coming up to midnight, and I’ve got all sorts of stuff to tidy up – I’ve spent nearly two hours playing and messing with this stuff. It’s like Girls World all over again! But there’s still the dishwasher to do and clothes to sort out. No matter how “dewy” I look, I still need to do that stuff as well….
Do you wear much makeup? Do you put make up on to go to the supermarket? Or the school run? How long does it take you in a morning? And what do you clean it off with – the make up removers hurt my eyes, so I’m using moisturiser!
