I have spent the last few days enjoying the freedom of life: Hanging out with best friends, watching piles of movies (mostly scary films lol, and How I met your mother series!!! Super cool!), trying out several new recipes, and more importantly, starting applying makeup on my face. Honestly, I have never applied any makeups on my face except for the glowing lips for I am still quite young, and cannot bear the effect of chemical cosmetics ruining and aging my skin. Mostly, I carry out the daily skincare to refresh my skin and to make me get a better and brighter look. However, no sooner had I begun to cram a large number of makeup videos made by Michelle Phan on Youtube than I realized the benefit of applying cosmetics to look more beautiful. So yesterday’s afternoon, I pulled out the bag containing some products I bought several days ago (including a liquid eyeliner pen, a mascara, an eye makeup removal, a fresh orange lipstick, and a packet of cottons to help remove the final result) and started to apply them on my face. Staring at the mirror, watching Michelle gently moving her hands from sides to sides, I honestly admitted that it was really really difficult! After I drew the first eyeliner, it looked like the ink were dancing messily on my face, so I had to remove it. Then came another failure with eyeliner, then another one, and another one. I did not want to estimate how much eyeliner I had wasted on these trying times. After trial and error, I could finally apply quite accepted winged eyeliner. Then it was time for curl my lashes. I received my eyelash curler as a gift from my aunt when I was staying in HCMC. My eyelashes were so short that I could not curl anything, but after a while, they succeeded in getting curled under the power of the curler. The mascara was not as challenging as those two. I did not encounter any failure during applying mascara. Last but not least, I put on my lipstick with a specialized brush. And there I was, a new face with eye and lip makeups! I was too lazy to apply the foundation and concealer, but with just those two, I looked quite differently: my eyes looked bigger with longer-looking lashes, and my lips were glowing with orange light. Nevertheless, these makeups made me look older yet more beautiful and sharper. Still, that was my first time ever applying makeups! Not really a failure, isn’t it?! I will practice doing makeups more to have a perfect natural look.
