Putting on makeup has always been a childish dream of mine when I was around nine to ten years old. Those glamorous eyeliner flicks and rosy flushed cheeks were what that led to my foray into the world of makeup. On the same note, wearing that
war paint has since boosted the confidence of women for decades. Admittedly, I'd embarrassingly agree that I too, once went too far with my makeup. Since the high school-university break made time aplenty for me, the clown in me decided to venture into different styles of makeup. It all started with a decent eyebrow pencil but I somehow found myself with racoon eyes and extremely orangey bronzer. Racoon eyes, oh mine. Now that I remember, Avril Lavigne was my ultimate style icon in my teens. Those pencil straight long hair and heavily rimmed eyes were what I coveted, then. Don't get me wrong, Avril Lavigne is hitherto, gorgeous as ever. It was me. Those old photos of me are just too funny to be kept in my social media. I would never leave home without a full face of '
opera' makeup. The wakeup call was definitely the time when people were commenting how much older I looked than my actual age. Horror story, huh.
I guess every girl would somehow or rather face some faux pas with makeup but hey, that's life. I still love makeup but will always be skeptical when Ann tells me to try on a different makeup style. Simplicity is has since became my inspiration (a little irony going on there, I know). It was not until Ann decided to do a My Sister Does My Makeup video in lieu with the holiday season. The thought of red lips and smokey eyeshadows did seemed daunting at first but I caved into Ann's persuasion. The result was not as scary as I imagined, though. At the end of the day, it's all about experimenting and finding a range of options that suit you isn't it! Happy Holidays, everyone! :)
