Daily makeup trial

I recently went on holiday and thought I would try wearing a little bit of makeup daily.

Since I had LASIK (vision correction surgery) 6 weeks ago, I've had trouble adjusting to my 'new' face.  The makeup makes the transition more bearable for me, aesthetically.

Now, by a 'little' makeup, I literally mean:
  • tightliner only on the upper lash line
  • basic mascara
  • eyebrow stuff (Nyx eyebrow kit - I don't know how to use eyebrow pencils)
  • bronzer (as blush) OR Benefit's 'Posie Tint'

.. I don't use foundation, so this is on a base of moisturizer with SPF.

So, how did the experiment go?

Well, even the little bit I did took a lot longer than expected.  Practice does make perfect.

How did it look?  Well, I liked it.  Frankly, I even think the blush/bronzer is too much effort to do daily... but I can handle the rest regularly.


What I look like with what I consider a full face of makeup (this is NOT what I did on my 'daily makeup trial'!)
No makeup

..It's hard not to become 'addicted' to wearing makeup on a daily basis now that I've tried it.  I prefer how I look with even a little bit of makeup...  But then again, I work 11-12 hour days and contrary to popular belief, hospitals are not full of hot and attractive staff ;)
