Maybe even more vain than this post. Maybe.
I was pretty worried about living with girls, I knew the dynamic would be completely different from last year and my four boys. Whilst it has been a hard term, Hanna and Alice have actually been great. But one thing that I learned which is, obviously, completely fundamental to my life is the importance of makeup.
Last year, no one in my house wore makeup except me. Therefore, any makeup I did made me look like I'd made an effort, and seeing as I was also the only one wearing dresses and (occasionally) heels, I felt pretty dressy whenever we went out.
What I failed to realise is that the majority of the female population have a more complicated everyday makeup routine than my going out one.
So this year I have had to learn how to do "proper" makeup. This includes a ridiculous number of google searches about primers, bronzers and contouring.
Of course I am one of the laziest people and I still only attempt this in the day every so often, but when I do I make sure I have selfie evidence. So here is a bunch of my makeup selfies for you and yours to enjoy!
I now own five different coloured lipsticks. Wow, impressive I know.
And liquid eyeliner (which I can actually use! (really badly!))
And both blusher and bronzer, which I am still attempting to figure out how to use.
Coincidentally, I managed to line up all the same head titles in the centre of each collage. Vain, me?
It has been fun trying to use makeup in a new way, as more than just a cover up for the stubborn remnants of my fourteen year old skin.
So thank you Hanna and Alice for introducing me to the terrifying realm of makeup! And for occasionally letting me creepily stare at them as they do mascara/eyeliner/blusher/all of the above to pick up tips!
