Do You Wear More or Less Makeup Than You Did 10 Years Ago?

I put on significantly much less make-up than I did 10 years in the past! Throughout that season of my life, magnificence running a blog was my full-time gig, so I spent my days swatching, testing, taking photos and pushing my make-up abilities on the every day. It was no large deal for me to cruise across the ‘burbs casually with present woman lashes on a Tuesday (see pic above).

Again then I’d go all the way in which with all of the issues. For instance, a “informal” look involving base consisted of primers (yup, plural), a pair layers of opaque basis, concealers (a minimum of two, at all times) and powder. The extra sophisticated and concerned the method was, the extra I liked to do it.

I additionally keep in mind my hair taking a very long time again then, too. I spent plenty of time within the salon throughout what I affectionately name “my blonde period.” LOL!

Anywho, I nonetheless do modified variations of a number of the appears to be like that I wore then; take this pic from 10 years in the past, for instance. My liner today will not be practically as intense, and I completely take shortcuts in the case of the lid colour by choosing an eyeliner worn as shadow. It has a kinda-sorta-similar vibe although.

Do you put on kind of make-up than you probably did 10 years in the past? How has your model modified (or stayed the identical)?
