When the Sam’s Club Guy Didn’t Recognize Me

The Sam’s Club staff actually asked, “Is this your card?” I almost said, “Rude,” but honestly? I took it as a compliment. My makeup game has seriously leveled up. Back in college, I’d just slap on powder and bright lipstick and call it a day. No wonder I looked… meh. Turns out, skipping all the “small steps” meant skipping the magic. Some tips that changed everything: 👓 I’m nearsighted—contacts + natural lens tints made my eyes pop more than any mascara ever did. 🎯 Pre-concealing dark circles helps smooth skin—even if they’re not fully covered, a good eye look steals the attention. 👃 Nose contour? Life-changing. Especially for us round-nose girlies. 🌸 Blush placement matters: brighten under the eyes, shade near temples. 💄 Avoid bold reds unless you own the drama. Nude tones = everyday elegance. ✨ Translucent brightening powder on tear troughs? Game. Changer. #beauty #makeup #GlowUpJourney
