Pretty Cosmetics is an Expression
Makeup gives women the freedom to express artistry. And, make something good even better. It’s one of those things. A special time of indulgence to take back the definition of beauty.
Getting into cosmetics leans into feminine energy. It lets you be expressive. Following ebbs and flows. Not every day with be soft glam. Or full glam. Sometimes, a little concealer or a coat of mascara is enough. The power of lipstick is only the beginning!
As your artistic vision improves, so will the relationship you have with yourself. Always start from a place of love.
ps— it’s really fun
What You Should Know About Makeup
Shopping at Sephora vs Shopping at Ulta
Sephora is perfect for a good splurge for base products. The technology available at Sephora makes it easy foundation match. Ulta Beauty has a better mix of price points for different items. I cannot recommend enough that you sign up for both of the loyalty programs. Birthday gifts from Sephora and Ulta make the day special!
Fighting the Beauty Industry FOMO
Looking for makeup online is overwhelming. It's okay to stick to few brands. Some brands do base products better. Others, eye makeup. And having a brand you enjoy focused on makeup brushes is a win. Take your time forming your opinion on different brands. Sometimes the popular brands won’t do it for you. And that’s okay!
Showcasing Face Features
Makeup is one of the best ways to fall more in love with yourself. Before considering concealing. Focus on which parts you want to shine! The rest of your routine will fall in place after that. There’s nothing wrong with making your face look like your vision.
Makeup is a way to create on your favorite canvas.

Introducing Colorful Makeup Looks
The thing about colorful makeup is understanding. Colors that match. Colors that blend. And colors that just turn brown.
A wash of color is enough to start! One well blended pop of color is absolutely gorgeous. When it comes to introducing color on the eyes or face. Blending is key! Makeup looks that are well blended help a woman feel more confident.
Learning Makeup Technique
The reason your makeup hasn’t been coming out the way you want. Or lasting. Or enhancing. Is the technique! The more practice you put into the technique. The better and more enjoyable the end process will be. Playing around with technique is the perfect way to showcase your favorite features!
How to Practice Using Cosmetics
A lot of playing with makeup is practice. With new brands. With new techniques. With different looks! Makeup is an art. The more time you invest with makeup. You can figure out what you like. Which trends suit you. Or your signature look. Sometimes you’ll want to go for something too light or too dark to create the vision. Let yourself explore where it feels the most exciting. A personal favorite is to put on a tutorial to have something to follow or get inspired by.
