Coming up with Quick and Easy Looks for Myself!

So I realized that while I love makeup and have far, far too much of it, I actually don't use it all that often - and part of that is because I feel like I just don't have the time. When I put makeup on for a night out, it's usually something extravagant that involves a full face - primer, foundation, highlighter, blush, finishing powder, lipstick, maybe a little lip contour if I'm feeling fancy, an eye look with 7 different shadows, brows, and mascara. That takes like... an hour and a half. So as part of my journey to buy less and use more, I'm trying to come up with some makeup looks that I can do in 20 min or less - a little concealer, some eyeliner, one basic eyeshadow, simple lipstick, and mascara.

I'm also trying to make myself ok with wearing eye makeup and lipstick without foundation. I have some acne/redness issues with my skin, so I struggle with not feeling "complete" if I don't have a full face of makeup on. For a long time it's felt like I have to be wearing all or none, which obviously isn't true.

I think that's partly because on MUA and with Youtubers, they're almost always wearing a full face. You don't see too many tutorials where someone has an eye look but..no foundation. Even no makeup makeup looks almost always have foundation or a BB cream or something!

So some goals:

• 20 minute makeup looks
• Shop my stash
• Be ok with my own damn face!
