All That Glitters on lid, Shroom for highlight, Cork in crease, & Espresso to deepen crease & line.Ģ. In case you like this sort of thing, here are the products I used. It’s a lot more than I usually wear, but ended up looking pretty natural I think.

On that note, I loved my makeup look yesterday. I can decide for myself what is beautiful, and exactly how much (if anything) to spend my money on to look and feel my best. I am fearfully and wonderfully made, as we all are, and reminding myself of that gives me a glimpse of how my Creator sees me. I feel deeply spiritual and whole when I practice these rituals, whether it’s my makeup routine, painting my nails or taking a long bath. These things make me feel more like myself, make me feel beautiful, but I’ve also been pushing up against those societal/patriarchal messages that have lodged in my head over the years - that to think myself beautiful, to spend time on my appearance is vanity.īecause it’s not. We’re fed the message that to be the right kind of woman, you have to be a certain kind beautiful (and that changes every few years, so keep up)…but actually believing we’re beautiful is vanity.Īfter my miscarriage, it’s been really important for me to practise self-love and getting back into my body through exercise, and enjoying my beauty rituals.

We’re expected to spend $100s of dollars a month too look a certain way…and also make sure that we seem like we don’t care about or spend money on our looks. #macprolongwearconcealer #maccosmetics #maclightscapade #makeuprevolution #maybelline #maybellinecitybronzer #diorbackstage #diorbeauty #dior #toofaced #toofacedchocolatebonbons #nyxcosmetics #maybellinelashsensational #catrice #catricecosmetics #carmex #maclipliner #macdervish #beautygram #fotd #princessaurora #sleepingbeauty #princesscore Lips: Carmex (obviously) and Mac lipliner in Dervish The secret here is to not curl your lashes and really focus mascara on the outer corner!īase: Mac Pro longwear concealer in NC15, Makeup revolution translucent powder, Maybelline City Bronzer in 100 light cool, Dior backstage blush in Rosy Glow and Mac mineralize skinfinish in lightscapadeĮyes: Too Faced chocolate bon bons palette (divinity all over the lid and pecan praline & almond truffle in the crease), NYX slim eye pencil in dark brown and Maybelline lash sensational mascara in blackīrows: Catrice slim'matic brow pencil in blonde I really love soft eyeliner on the outer third of the eye as it makes lashes look fuller while also giving some soft definition.
