There’s just something about being lazy and bored that inspires me to put on a full face of makeup. I mean, sweatpants, full glam and no plans? Name a more iconic trio, I’ll wait.
This is especially true right now — with this newfound down time at home, there’s a lot of pressure to be productive or to stay entertained, and social distancing can definitely start to feel draining. One of my favorite ways to pass the time and maintain a sense of normalcy is to do my makeup. Being able to play with color and pamper myself has really boosted my mood, and because I’m not leaving the house, I can go a lot bolder with my looks.
Another bonus: getting glam lets you majorly up your Insta selfie game, especially in feeds filled with pushup challenges, drawings of carrots and “until tomorrow” posts. Here are a few makeup looks that are giving me major inspo.
