I have loved makeup and beauty for quite a while - one of the main reasons I started my blog was to find similar minded people who love makeup and beauty.
I have never been the most confident of people - always the shy one fo the group and don’t particularly like taking photos of myself. But makeup for me is something that gives me a confidence as well as showing my creative. As I cant draw or paint that well but after a lot go practice I can do winged eyeliner and create a range of eye makeup looks.
One story I remember on a school ski trip we had a 27-hour coach journey and I took my makeup off when all the lights are out on the coach so no one could see that I took my makeup off. As soon I finished taking my makeup off we stopped at a service station - I was so self-conscious walking around a service station with no makeup. I know it sounds sad but hardly any of my friends have seen me without makeup and they could be every imperfection I cover up. I have to far come a long way since then - I do have days wear a wear much less makeup than I did and still feel confident.
Makeup and Beauty is also an escape for me - I love watching Youtube makeup tutorial or any beauty video, PatrickStarrr and NIkkieTutorials are 2 of my fave makeup youtubers. Whenever I’m having a bad day I watch one of these videos and it makes me feel much better as I’m concentrating what’s on the video and not what happened during the day. Same as int he evenings I sully look through websites like Beauty Bay or Debenhams Beauty to see if there are any new products that I may want to any other products I can read reviews on before buying it. Looking, watching and reading about makeup and beauty products is something I enjoy doing and I personally find quite relaxing. As you don’t like looking at a pretty palette (like the new ABH one - gorgeous) or a gorgeous lipstick (the new Dior ones :0)
So overall makeup and beauty is something that gives me confidence but also I enjoy and find relaxing.
It would be amazing if you could comment ‘What Makeup and Beauty Means to Me’ as I would to hear what your thoughts are.
I hope you like this post and have a lovely day.

I was the exact same in school. I have different colour pigmentation on my face, nothing striking, just something I've always been self conscious of. It took me until I had my daughter to stop wearing and covering my face every single day. Now I do it when I feel like it or if I'm going out. It's a confidence thing and my relationship with makeup is a lot better now than it ever was. I'm now expressing myself rather than trying to hide.

I personally think there’s nothing wrong with using makeup to make you more confident, especially if it helps you eventually learn to be more comfortable without it too!

Thank you for commenting Emma and I'm glad you think there's nothing wrong with using makeup for confidence as some people think its quite sad (which makes me more self conscious)

Love this post Sarah! I’m exactly the same. When I put my little girl to bed makeup and tutorials is my ‘down time’ and kind of an escape from normality. Great post xxx

I related to absolutely everything written in this post, so it was really nice reading about someone else who sees makeup as more of an outlet than just something to look pretty with. PS. Nikki and Patrick are amazing, lately I've been loving Desi and Manny too!! xx
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting Angela and I'm so glad this post - it honestly means a lot. I love Manny too but I haven heard of Desi I will definitely have a look.
