Today, my challenge is to wear make-up for no good reason at all. Well, there is a bit of a good reason because I have a job interview. But normally, I do not wear make-up on job interviews or presentations, or anything.
I put on everything! I washed the sponge, put on foundation, then concealer and blended my way in. Next, I worked on my eyes. I put on eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara. I love mascara! If I need to wear make-up everyday, I will always wear mascara! My eyelashes are really short and straight and this miraculously made my eyes flutter. Then the lipstick, and I had to pucker up to a tissue paper. I do not know what that step is for, probably for the glamorous 50's feel, not sure. The last part - pout your lips like a fish, and puff puff - rosy cheeks!
This simple make-up took me 45 minutes. Really. Oh, Kel behind the lens.
While whisking at my face, I thought that I should really be good at putting on make-up. I studied blending colors from high school to college, and I used to teach blending. I just did it on paper, not on skin.
It is a refreshing ritual. Took me 45minutes to get a simple looking blend on my face. I admire the girls who take a chunk of their time everyday to do this ritual to look prettier. Other girls I know cannot step outside without make-up. It takes a lot of effort, time and money, I guess. I hope that the men in their lives compliment them, but them flowers, take them out to nice dinners. Because any girl who is willing to take on 45 minutes off her 24 hours to look pretty deserves her share of romance.
What did I learn from this?
I learned that we all give our time to what we think is valuable. And we have varying opinions on what is valuable. I will probably not take on this make-up habit because I personally do not find value in it. So, I'll just take on another challenge to find out more!
