Okay, so I wanted to get into this whole cosmetics thing. It’s like, everywhere, right? And I figured, why not give it a shot? So, I started with pretty much nothing. I didn’t even own a makeup brush, seriously.
First off, I watched a bunch of videos online. You know, those beauty gurus doing their thing? They make it look so easy! I tried to follow along, but man, it’s harder than it looks. My first attempt at winged eyeliner? Disaster. It was like a five-year-old did it with a shaky hand.
- Watched online tutorials for beginners.
- Tried to follow basic makeup application steps.
- Struggled with precise techniques like winged eyeliner.
Then, I went to a store to get some products. Talk about overwhelming! There are so many options. I grabbed a primer because everyone says that’s a must-have. I also picked up a foundation, some concealer, and a few other things that seemed important. I probably spent way too much, but hey, you gotta start somewhere, right?
I started practicing every day. I mean, I dedicated a chunk of my evening to just messing around with makeup. Some days were better than others. I slowly started to get the hang of blending foundation and not poking myself in the eye with the mascara wand. Progress!
Here’s what I learned during this process:
- Start small – you don’t need everything at once.
- Practice makes perfect – seriously, just keep at it.
- Don’t be afraid to mess up – it’s all part of learning.
After a few weeks, I finally felt confident enough to wear a full face of makeup out in public. It was a simple look, nothing crazy. But it was a huge step for me. I even got a few compliments! I still have a lot to learn, but I’m excited to keep exploring this makeup world. It’s actually pretty fun once you get past the initial frustration.
So, that’s my cosmetics journey so far. It’s been a wild ride, but I’m enjoying it. If you’re thinking about getting into makeup, just go for it! It’s all about experimenting and finding what works for you.
