Alright, let’s get real—I’ve literally lost count of how many times I’ve swung between minimalist makeup and full glam, like, is there a middle ground? Probably. Not that I obey it. Some mornings, the less-is-more side totally wins: quick slap of tinted moisturizer (because who needs foundation wars at 8 a.m.?), lazy mascara, a bit of balm. Done. Boom. I probably look awake? Or at least, less like a sleep-deprived goblin. Minimalist days are basically for when I can’t be bothered or I’m pretending my skin “just glows like this, naturally, babe.” Plus, your face can actually breathe, which isn’t overrated.
But ooooh, then there are those other days. The let’s-pull-out-every-eye-palette-and-glitter-in-my-drawer kinda days. I’ll spend actual hours contouring cheekbones I don’t even have, piling on highlighter like I’m auditioning for Euphoria, and somehow end up with brows that could survive a tornado. The transformation is kinda addictive. You get to play, you get to experiment, and honestly? Sometimes a bold red lip is just what the universe ordered. Full glam makes me feel like I could run into my ex or a movie director and be ready for either. Plus, it’s just fun, like adult-level face painting.
I’m not married to one camp over the other. Some days I wake up craving one, the next day, it’s the opposite. Blame the weather, TikTok trends, or just my mood swings. It’s a toss-up, and I’m cool with that. Makeup’s basically just another way to vibe with yourself, so why pick a side? Just do what makes you feel like you, even if that means swinging between fresh-faced angel and disco-ball queen on the regular. So yeah, which team are you? And honestly, does anyone ever really pick just one?
