Makeup LOTD, June 1st

I’m learning to take selfies and post them without shame. It’s hard, it’s always hard for me to take a photo of myself, or stand before a camera and not want to rip myself apart. It’s still nerve-wracking to post photos of myself here, on Instagram, to send them to friends or to even look at them.

It’s a daily exercise in self-care and self-love but I’m trying and that’s good enough right now. Especially coming from me, who for years, couldn’t bear to even look at myself in the mirror. This is a huge step for me. So in celebration of this momentous and tiny step, here’s a makeup look I did recently that I loved.

Here are the products I used: 

• Clinique’s Pep-Start Daily UV Protector Broad Spectrum SPF 50
• Milk Makeup’s Hydro Grip Primer
• NYX Tinted Skin Veil in True Beige Buff
• Smashbox Studio Skin Flawless 24-hour Concealer in Light Neutral Olive
• Smashbox 24 Hour Photo Finish Shadow Primer
• Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder
• NARS Summer Lights Face Palette
• Milk Makeup Lip + Cheek Tint in Swish
• Milk Makeup Kush Mascara
• Benefit High Beam
• Physician’s Formula Glow + Mood Boosting Blush in Natural
• Tatcha’s Luminous Dewy Skin Mist

 

Thank you, as always, for reading!
