Read Your Face

I do not have a poker face. At all. I had RBF before there was a cool acronym for it. and I stand by its use. However, yesterday I was talking with someone who said they could see it in my face I was hurting in my job.  You don't even know what it took to not start crying when they said that.  It's amazing that we think we're doing a good job at hiding what's going on under the surface. For folks who know how to read people you can't hide it. To quote the Bard Jaden Smith, " Real Eyes Realize Real Lies." So I got some real shit to face that I haven't quite yet.For the folks that think makeup hides who people are, you're wrong. All the MAC Studio Fix in the world isn't going to cover up what's going on inside, it'll make beautiful AF, but it won't cover it up. So when you're in the mirror today take a moment to read your face and figure out what it's saying. 

Morphe Brushes 35B Color Glam palette is what helped me pull this look off today. Topped it off with Voodoo Spice Gel Lipstick from Buxom

Listen to Your Heart

I have this real bad habit of not listening to myself when I know something early on.  Everyone says I'm judgemental but I feel like I just be knowing the truth before everyone else does and they're still holding out hope. I don't approach every situation looking for the bad but I never ignore the red flags, so I just curate them and wait for them to become enough that I can't ignore them. When you find yourself in a situation, especially with makeup, meaning you've read the reviews, you've watched the YT vids, don't ignore it girl. 

New makeup alert! I used Morphe Brushes Golden Glory on the lid and Rosewood on the Outer Corner with ColourPop Drift in the crease. Went back to an oldie but goodie, MAC Retro Matte Lipstick in Ruby Woo
