Petunia

Today at 08:02:46 PM
I had a chance this week to get the makeup out and play around.

Sadly, I remember why I stopped dressing a decade and a half ago.

I'm never happy looking at myself in the mirror but having to spend quite a bit of time to make myself look like a rediculous sad clown was pretty depressing.

Covering up skin blemishes was ok but not looking after my skin has really not paid off, particularly around my eyes.

I did like the process just not having to see myself and the results.

Hey Petunia!

Makeup is definitely an art requiring a good bit of practice and experimentation...just finding the products that work best can be quite the workout but, finding them can make a huge difference in final results...

Have you ever tried consulting with a professional makeup artist? They can often have a good eye for what would constitute a good look for you and have recommendations for products etc... hair color, eye color and makeup colors work off of each other and small changes can make a big difference in an overall look!

I hope you keep at it... give the sad clown the boot and see only a happy woman!

Onward Brave Sister!

Let go of the things that no longer serve you... Let go of the pretense of the false persona, it is not you... Let go of the armor that you have worn for a lifetime, to serve the expectations of others and, to protect the woman inside... She needs protection no longer.... She is tired of hiding and more courageous than you know... Let her prove that to you....Let her step out of the dark and feel the light upon her face.... amg🌸

Oh, Ashley, you are my life coach. I hope Petunia follows your advice (Petunia, you are beautiful with or without makeup). I know I will try to, but I understand how mirrors have a habit of getting in the way.

One of my essentials is a 10x lighted mirror for eye makeup... you have to learn to set aside what your skin looks like at 10x and just do whatcha gotta do! 😅 I read a book by Amy Poeler many years ago and she had a line in there about something being the dumbest thing you could do outside of looking at your face in a magnifying mirror! 😅

Onward!
