Destiny Diaries: Face

The next thing that I want to focus on in this series is my face! I’m pretty, obviously, but I feel like my skincare and makeup routine could use a little razzle dazzle. One thing that I recently noticed is that when I’m doing eyeshadow looks, I don’t use the full space on my eyelids. I feel like focusing on improving that will take my makeup looks to another level! I’m also noticing how important placement is when it comes to makeup, specifically blush and highlighters. I’m pretty good at makeup, I literally own a makeup brand, but there’s always room for improvement. I’m going to read some makeup books from the 90’s so I can refine my skills. I also want to continue learning about color theory and how that coincides with my makeup. I want to further experiment with my brows by laminating them and testing out different shaping techniques. I usually rotate between getting them threaded or plucked and letting a pencil do the rest of the work. Brows will really make or break a look! Also, I’ve recently converted to Ponds cold cream for makeup removal! It really is an old faithful for a reason. I’ve been released from the shackles of makeup wipes.

Next, I want to further explore skincare. I have a pretty basic routine, wash, moisturize and sunscreen. But I do want to start being more educated about my skin and what works best. I will start treating my skincare routine like a ritual. It’s just something that I do, but I can add more enjoyment in taking care of myself. I also plan on incorporating more eye creams, masks and maybe some red light therapy. Also I need to learn more about lymphatic drainage!
