So, my blog will contain things I love and I would like to share. Yes, mainly about makeup. I love exploring makeup! I have been wearing makeup since forever, the first thing I put on myself was a red lipstick when I was about 4 or 5. I used to take my Mum's lipstick and put it on my chunky baby lips, and yes I used to get laughed at by my family, yes they were very harsh laughing at a baby, it's lucky that I have grown up into a normal person huh?
My skin
I have terrible skin and few people have realised that my skin has gotten better since I started a relationship, I don't know if that was the reason, but for the past 3 years I have been more pleased with my skin than ever before. I still have oily skin, pimples and scars but it has come a long way. I tried to cover my face with so many products trying to hide it, but it just made the skin worse!
In my early teenage years my Mum took me to see all sorts of doctors whom provided me with tablets, creams, and Chinese medicine (yuck). I found that Chinese medicine was a big help! But I just couldn't stand the disgusting bitterness (yuck yuck yuck!) I even found dead bees as part of the medicine, so that definitely put me off Chinese medicine for life!
Since then, I have learned to look after my skin, drink lots of water, find the right products for my skin and all the things you can think of (without going bankrupt of course). I'm still not completely happy or confident with my skin, but I can say is that I have learned to live with what I have. More importantly, I am more comfortable talking about my skin than I have ever before.
Wearing makeup
The first time I wore eyeliner was in high school, and then when I left for sixth form I started to put on more products: concealer, foundation, mascara, blush etc. It was not until 2 years ago, that I started to feel comfortable with sharing my experiences with makeup. I guess it's because that I'm not confident enough to talk about makeup, or even applying makeup, I'm not a pro so I guess I didn't feel like I was 'qualified' to speak about makeup. I guess things change and people grow up ,and now that I feel that I know how to make myself more presentable that I can talk about it and share my experiences.
Mission
Like I mentioned before, I'm not a pro, but watching YouTube videos and experimenting in front of a mirror has been a big help for me. So I hope that my blog can help other people who are going through confidence issues like myself to nudge their shy-self to the side and experiment. If you don't like what you see after the experiment it's ok, it is whatever that makes you happy that is most important. Finally, I know that my reviews and the tips won't suit everyone but I hope that even if it doesn't help you much, at least you would've had a good girly read.
Stay tuned for the first post guys and take care!
P.S I have overcome my childhood trauma, the red lips are back!
