What Are You Most Insecure About and What Beauty Product Do Use To Make You Feel Better About It?

Some people use makeup as a mask to help them with their insecurities and I don’t think that’s a bad thing. Makeup is an empowering tool that goes a long way at making us feel better about insecurities we may have. It makes us feel pretty when we aren’t feeling so pretty! It makes our dark circles magically disappear. It makes our noses slimmer. It tackles the difficult job of concealing scarring or acne or dark spots.

Isn’t it a little miracle that something as simple as putting on red lipstick makes us feel like we can take on the world?

I use makeup as a bit of way to hide away my own insecurities. Do you?

I hate my eyes. They’re big, they’re buggy, they dominate my face. I also hate that I sort of look like a little kid when I’m not wearing makeup. I also hate that I always look tired because my eyes dominate my face. I don’t really have dark circles but my eyes have a way of looking sleepy and puffy all the time. You know I’m absolutely obsessed with concealer because I just always look a bit tired no matter how much sleep I get. Someone on Facebook told me the other day, “You work too hard!” And she was totally right. I’m way strict with myself. I typically wake up at 4:30am to start work on the site (in isolation I’m still up at 5AM to work) and from there my schedule is always jammed pack with things to do, people to see, places to be. I have no where to be right now, no people to see. Sadly, quarantine has really cut a lot out of my social activities and put my life on pause. It hasn’t put my insecurities on hold though and I still wake up and makeup to make myself feel pretty. Although, I admit, I’ve been walking around here with a bare face at times too! It feels strangely refreshing until I look in the mirror and I’m all, “Oh girl, get the eyelash curler!”

One of my main tools that comforts me and makes me feel my best is concealer. I don’t use concealer on my face but it is my biggest tool for battling puffy eyes and looking tired! I can honestly say that if I had to choose three makeup things to get me through the rest of my life it would be concealer, cheek stain, and my lash curler. With those three things I can feel pretty again. Granted, I don’t want to live in a world where I need to pick only three makeup things to live with but I can happily get on with those three things if I had too.
