I used to avoid doing my makeup when I was younger because I was quite bad at it. Also, I had this idea that girls who wore makeup were insecure. I thought, You shouldn’t wear makeup to look pretty, so I didn’t allow myself to get into it. It was only after I finished college and all my friends were into makeup that I started experimenting. I realised that make-up was really fun! You can be a different person every day, depending on how you wear it.
I wear a full face of makeup everyday, though I don’t contour because I’m really bad at it. If I don’t have time, at the very least I’ll do my eyebrows and wear concealer. My boyfriend is always trying to nag me to stop wearing makeup. He prefers me without it! But I explain that makeup is fun for me—kind of like a release. Also, I swear that people are nicer to me when I’m wearing makeup. I don’t know if I’m being crazy, but I really feel it. When I don’t wear makeup, I feel invisible.
