[June 2023] Daily Make & New Nails

 
Hi angels! I was playing around with finding a signature daily make style. For a long time I wasn't content with the way my makeup looked and every single time I put on a face I was trying something new. While this was fun to do it was also really exhausting so I wanted to focus on finding a look that I was happy with and could execute on repeatedly with confidence. 
This look was a very "my eyes but better" type of approach. I wore lenses that were very similar to my own eye color but had an enlarging factor. I think this was a good balance of gal elements without being too OTT on the droop but this proved difficult to replicate because if my top liner was even slightly off the whole look would be ruined.
This look utilized more natural and wispy lashes just to see if I could make use of them outside of stacking them with other lashes. I think the balance didn't feel quite right with this look, especially with the large lenses. I guess wispies just aren't for me (。•́︿•̀。)
This lash and lens combo was a little bit better, again trying to work with wispy/more natural lashes. I wore this look to work and it was pretty comfortable but I wasn't really a fan of any full face pics I took. I think the eye is pretty close up but in a full face shot it didn't balance well.
I spent all week trying to get a good signature eye down but overall I didn't feel really successful. Thankfully I also had a nail appointment booked so I was happy I at least had one signature point on lock (ㅅ´ ˘ `)
My makeup that day... it was alright (ᵕ—ᴗ—);;
Have you found your signature make? I'd love to know what you tried and how your journey went in the comments! ٩(^ᗜ^ )و ´-

That's all for this one, thanks for reading and I'll see you in the next post ( ⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝)

  1. I feel the same towards wispy lashes - I dislike them a lot.
    I personally wear the kind of makeup on my pictures at work as well. I don't like wearing a big droop or bottom lashes at all, so I emphasize on more glitter in the front and putting enough mascara on my own, so they would pop out more <3

    1. I wish I had more prominent natural lashes so I could forgo falsies altogether for work but mine are very small and non-existent even with mascara, especially my bottom lashes (。•́︿•̀。)

      I think my eyes are naturally a bit small and downturned so I need to be a little more dramatic with my eyeliner to balance the shape out. I think I'm almost at a shape I like with minimal products so hopefully with just a little more experimenting I'll be able to comfortably ditch the lashes! ( • ̀ω•́ )✧

  2. I'm still trying to find my daily makeup. I feel you described what I struggle with perfectly: it proves difficult to replicate because if my top liner was even slightly off the whole look would be ruined. That, this entire sentence is my daily struggle lol I feel like I can never consistently pump out the same look even if I'm trying to. I feel it can look similar but a lot of times I end up either losing the lower lashes or forgetting the exact lash combo. So I end up pulling something else out or experimenting with some other aspect of the makeup. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    But on a happier note, i've learned a lot of tips & tricks from gals that I keep in mind every time I do my makeup. Let me keep practicing to get where I want.

    1. Yes!! I'm sure I give off the vibe that I experiment with my makeup a lot on purpose and while I do set aside time to try new things I'm often just improvising on the spot because I've forgotten what I've done or I've made a mistake in execution.

      I'm glad you are persevering and keeping a positive spirit!! It's such a key part of the whole gal journey and even though it can feel frustrating at times it's still enjoyable through and through (•̀ᴗ•́ )و
