Relaxing

You woke up late. It’s a dreary day. If you make it to the mailbox you will consider that having “gotten out of the house”. While you might want to the spend the day in pajamas, it’s a great time to experiment with your style and make some makeup looks.

Take a few random pieces from your closet, toss them on the bed and see what happens. If it’s a hot mess, try again. The idea is to see your clothes in a new way instead what they “go with” already paired in your closet. The next time you in a paint store, grab some hue swatches (the strips that go from lightest to darkest). This will help you see what “goes together” rather than what matches.

Grab your eyeshadows. With a brush or your finger, start swatching them. You can brush them on the inside of your arm, but go ahead and swatch them on your face – all over your face. Don’t worry about looking like a psycho clown. Look at the c9lors you like. Do you like that bright blue color? Or the striking teal? Me too! Now, go to YouTube and search for ‘teal eyeshadow looks’. It takes a little practice so play around with it before you start your pm skincare routine.

As children, we loved dressing up baby dolls and Barbie. There is no reason to outgrown all that fun. Be your own human Barbie.
