I Gave Up Contour. My Face Thanks Me.

Contouring? Honestly overrated—especially in unpredictable daily lighting. The shadows you meant to carve out often end up just looking… muddy. So here’s what I do instead: I go all in on highlighter. Not shimmer-bomb style. I mean strategic glow. I use at least three types daily, and sometimes skip contour altogether. ✨ Want to steer people’s attention away from your face shape? Guide their gaze on purpose. Tap highlight on inner corners, nose tip, and cupid’s bow. Suddenly, people notice your glowy skin, bright eyes, and healthy lips—not your jawline. ✨ Bonus: Customize the focal point. Love your brows? Highlight the brow bone. Great lips? Light up the cupid’s bow. Sparkling eyes? Inner and center lid glow, please. Shifting from “hiding flaws” to “amplifying assets” changed not just my look, but my confidence. Side note: square faces are gorgeous. Highlighting just makes their beauty louder. #beauty #makeup #HighlightStrategy

My 8-Step Mascara Routine for Flawless Lashes

Perfect lashes aren’t luck—they’re layering. On my best days, I use eight different mascara products, and each one has a specific role. Top lashes get a primer, then a volumizing brown formula for depth, followed by a lengthening brown to stretch the shape. Bottom lashes? Different anatomy, different approach: separate primer, micro wand black mascara for definition, then a lengthening formula, and finally a precision spoolie to create a clean, fanned-out effect. The biggest lessons I’ve learned: 1️⃣ Treat top and bottom lashes as different species. Their texture and density need tailored products. 2️⃣ Brush shape matters. Volumizing wands pack pigment; lengthening ones add fibers; and the bundle effect? That’s what refines lower lashes. 3️⃣ Color counts. Brown on top softens and matches warm-toned hair; black on bottom ensures visibility—even at a distance. Lashes are more than detail—they shape how the whole face speaks. #beauty #makeup #mascara

I Thought Brown Hair Would Make Me Softer

I keep telling myself it’s just hair, but every time I mix the henna, I’m hoping for something more than a new shade. I want to look in the mirror and see someone less harsh, less tired, less… me. I stand in the bathroom, gloves on, plastic everywhere, and smear this muddy paste onto my roots. The smell is earthy and honest. I wish I could be that. Instead, I’m scrubbing dye off my forehead, wondering if this time I’ll finally feel like I belong in my own skin. It’s not about being brown-haired. It’s about not feeling like a mistake every time I catch my reflection. I rinse, towel off, and stare. It’s still me. Just a little quieter, maybe. But I’m still waiting for the softness to sink in. #MirrorFatigue #HairDyeConfessions #BeautyBurnout #Beauty #HairCare
