Make Up!

 


Make-up. It's something that I always enjoy and look forward to doing. I would say I care more about my make up being done than my hair. I'm not a perfectionist but would consider that I look more 'awake' if my make up is on than if my hair is styled. If I have extra time, then I will do my hair and enjoy the extra time it takes.

Somehow, I am inspired by make-up. I don't like the overdone look, and there is a feeling of 'too much make up'. I still like looking natural and like myself, but also like to create a look that looks nice. I bought these eyeshadows right before my sister's wedding, and I like the enhanced colors of gold shimmer and some darker shades. I love to blend them in. I was planning on doing her make up for her wedding, and did a trail run last year which was fun. Although I didn't do it in the end, I've learned that make up is my natural interest when it comes to beauty (and fashion too). 

I guess I didn't fully realize it until wedding season was upon us. In high school, I got more into doing my make-up and did it for dances, Junior Prom and Senior Ball. I could relate to a woman who I felt somewhat similar to, and my sisters knew of, and she was also into makeup. I was inspired by that too.

  1. You are a great makeup artist, Col!! So interesting this was something you enjoyed even in high school. It's neat because I feel it's another way you express your creativity and unique style.

The (Dry) Well

 It started with a well. Last summer, I was on a road trip with my parents, and we saw various places and missions, one of them was San Luis...
