My 18 images below were captured between 2014 and 2016. I used to love putting makeup on my face when I became an active new member of the workforce. I remember applying facial cosmetics and other skin care products was a part of my daily routine from 2006 to 2018.

I wanted to look and be a classy career girl. Thus, besides using designer perfumes, I had a bag full of mascara, lip gloss, lipstick, eye shadow, eye liner, lip tint, blush-on or cheek blush, face powder, and makeup palettes of all shades. I had all the popular brands of makeup such as Chanel, Christian Dior, Shiseido, MAC Cosmetics, Clinique, L’Oreal, Revlon, Maybelline, Lancôme, and so forth.

Nonetheless, when I started working from home, I figured there is no point of putting makeup on. Hence, I stopped that beauty regimen. I was also busy despite my work-from-home lifestyle. Today, I have more time to relish since I’m financially secure. I’m thinking perhaps I should buy new makeup sets again and put them on when I get out of my house and head somewhere.

In personal financial terms, being a makeup fan can be costly. Branded or designer beauty products like those I used can be expensive if included in someone’s budget.

Nevertheless, makeup is face art and I really enjoyed it when I was still into painting my face. I don’t know: Maybe or maybe I will not revert to being a makeup enthusiast again.

After all, I want to look badass now sporting my boys’ hairstyle. Maybe I don’t want to appear girly and sweet again like when I was younger with long and wavy chestnut-colored hair and radiant, painted face splattered with designer makeup.
