What matters is that it grounds you, lifts you, or simply gets you through. The world will always have an opinion. This is about how it makes you feel. That’s the only thing that counts.
I totally agree with you. Once my make up is on, I feel better about myself. Nothing to do with vanity, it just makes me feel put together as well. Some days I don't feel like putting make up on, but when I do, it makes me feel great. I do not do it for anyone else but myself. I do get compliments, and that is always nice. Make up should be something you do for yourself though:)
I'm with you all the way. I love putting on my makeup, and can be sitting there for over an hour just going from one stage to another. I have my friends asking "what colour lipstick are you wearing" or "what do you do to get your eyeshadow like that" or "what foundation are you wearing", which is all lovely and gives me a real boost. The only thing is taking it all off at the end of the day!
I was like this, but my skin has changed so much since I turned 50 that what looked good on me doesn’t anymore. I feel like I need to start again and figure out new ways to make me feel like how I used to.
Nina, makeup is my therapy in so many ways. I live with & take care of my 99 year old narcissistic, negative mother. Doing my makeup allows me to escape her agitation & mean assaults. I get to escape into myself & focus on what I’m doing, and when I’m done & I look good & feel good about myself, it cancels her negative painting of my persona. If this were a husband, fiancée or boyfriend I would leave to save myself, since there is no treatment for this maladies. But since it’s my mother & I’m all she has, I cannot. I suffer of PTSD from the trauma she inflicts upon me. Focusing on my makeup is the only peace I can get. It definitely is therapy for me in so many ways. Thank you.❤️

Doing my makeup in the morning is therapeutic. Its far more than just getting my face ready for the day.
