I am unequivocally an adult woman. And yet I never really gotten into makeup. This is not for some kind of philosophy against it. It is moreso that I just never tried it. And now, it seems scary, because it is one thing to make a mistake as a teenager. It is a whole different thing to mess up as an adult who should, assumedly, know better.
So, I have been sitting in my home trying to learn. I have so far gotten by using the foundation samples I have received, some lip color samples, and a few cheap products I bought along the way. I have tried a full face here and there. But of course, it was only to test the makeup removing properties of a cleanser. But really, I am still scared by the prospect of it all.
What if people notice something different? What if they think I have started trying too hard? Again, here with the what if. But here is another, What if I tried this small thing which could be considered vain, simply because I wanted to? What if I expanded my own horizons, and practiced my creativity in new ways, and gave myself free license to express myself on my own terms?
I want to do more creative things. I want to work more on my self-presentation. I want to free myself from working so hard to mind other people’s opinions. This seems like a challenge to help work on all three.
