A letter to the Girl too scared to wear dark lipstick.

To all of you girls that are too scared to wear dark lipstick, dark nail polish, or something completely out of your comfort zone; DO IT. And I don't mean that in a pressure you kind of way. I mean it in a "do what you want without feeling like you have to please people" kind of way. Here's why I think you should do it:

It's good to step out of your comfort zone. Stepping out of your comfort zone challenges you. It helps you to learn more about yourself. It helps you learn to adapt to different things. I don't want you to completely change your look in one day, but I want you to change one thing and see how it makes you feel. Wear that dark lipstick one day. You might check the mirror every 10 minutes to see how you feel, but at the end of the day, you will feel like you have accomplished something by changing.
Wear the makeup for yourself. Don't skimp on the eyeliner or bold colors because you think people will stare. And don't skip it the next day because someone didn't agree with it. You wear that dark brown or black lipstick like you own it, (which you technically do because YOU spent your hard-earned money on it!) You wear that bold lipstick because deep in your heart you know you want to. Don't let someone else tell you that "natural is better." If YOU want to wear a BLUE lipstick that YOU bought, then you rock that lipstick!
No one notices your flaws more than yourself. I see a lot of, "I can't wear that red lipstick because my lips are uneven." Let me tell you right now girl, no one will even notice! And if they do, they are too close to your face! Plus, there are so many ways to trick the eyes. Get yourself a good lipliner, and a flat makeup brush. Put on your lipliner then lipstick, and use that brush with a tiny bit of concealer or foundation on it, and fix any mistakes you might have made. Make time throughout the day to touch up. We all go to the restroom, take your lipstick with you. After you've washed your hands, make it a part of your routine to touch up your lipstick.

We live in a time that WE get to choose what we put on our faces. We get to decide what makes us feel our best. And let me tell you, wearing something because you think it will be a crowd pleaser is not feeling your best. You will have a feeling inside of you that something isn't just right, and that's because you should do things for yourself! As women with families and jobs and responsibilities, we don't always get to be selfish. We look after our children or our spouses needs before our own most times. Your makeup and your face isn't a thing that YOU should sacrifice. You should wake up every day and put on whatever the hell you want to put on. You do it for yourself. I cannot tell you enough times, WEAR THE MAKEUP THAT YOU WANT TO WEAR. When you feel your best, you can give your best. If you feel like a million bucks in the glitter eyeshadow everyone around you will feel those vibes. The happier you are, the happier you can make others. Please, ladies, let's spread positivity in this world of hate! There are so many more important things going on in the world, we don't need to tell someone that the red lipstick they are wearing isn't the right shade. TELL HER SHE IS BEAUTIFUL. You never know how many times in her head she went back and forth about wearing that color. Tell her that her eyeliner is bomb.com even if you notice they are a little uneven. How many times do you think she may have wiped it off to start over? Compliments are free. Hand those bad boys out to everyone you know. And let's end this with something that all of our mothers' taught us: If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say it at all.

Goodnight my lovies, thank you SO much for stopping by!
