There’s something about getting all dolled up that I absolutely adore. When I walk into my favorite beauty store it’s like a kid walking into a candy factory. The scent of perfume fills the air, the sight of bright colors and isles of beauty supplies light up my eyes, the sound of customers shopping gives me a rush of excitement, and the feeling of swatches of makeup pallets infatuate my body. 

This is a time where I can break away from life and just have fun doing what I love. I start by picking up my essentials like my mascara, primer, eyebrow pencil, and lip pencil. I’ll then look for something that catches my eye like a new lip gloss or eyeshadow pallet. Beauty is something I found interesting at the age of 12 and I haven’t looked back since.  

There are two types of makeup looks that I do and that is either a full glam or a natural look. A full glam of makeup takes me around an hour and a half. A natural look takes me around 30-45 minutes. Yes, I am almost always the last one to leave the house because beauty takes time. I have recently gotten into skin care. I have started to incorporate items like serums, toners, eye creams, face masks, and lip masks to my routine. I could spend all day playing in makeup and it’s something that just comes easy to me. Makeup is my happy place but it also takes my mind off of reality.
