Hi Beauties! What makeup have you always wanted to try, but it scares you, or you feel it's 'I love it but, it's too much for me!' 🎨 What is it you've always been dying to try- smokey, false lashes, red lips? Or did you conquer your wish and love it? ❀️How did you get to love something that you were afraid to try? I was afraid of seriously smokey eyes (hard to believe now, lol!) I practiced in my bathroom before my shower, so I could wash off mistakes before I got laughed at. 😁 I finally got more used to seeing my reflection, and more comfortable with the makeup! Try it, see if it works for you!!πŸ’ͺπŸ’•πŸ’

Here's a super smokey, hot weather eye I was afraid to try- then loved it! Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream base, Fyrinnae pigment in Purgatory and Korres Volcanic Mineral mascara. Urban Decay liner in Perversion

I have always.been afraid to do a really glam look with like red lips or a smokey eye. Also this is really weird but my makeup can't be to perfect because then I feel like it draws to much attention. So I always skip blush, never have a over done eye brows etc. I also do this with clothes.

I had two fears really
1. Wearing eyeshadow- I used to all the time during my 'scene' phase but when I snapped out of it I realized how bad it looked. I didn't even stop to think that a little makeup knowledge could turn eyeshadow into a good thing, I automatically associated it with being a cake face. Now I absolutely love it and I've been playing with different colours as well!

2. Touching my eyebrows, as in filling them in! I'm so dark haired and I thought they were already so full but now I learnt how to do them and I absolutely love my eye brows! I'm fairly proud of them.

Now I'd like to conquer lipsticks and bottom eyeliner :(

Something that scares me is colorful looks. They're gorgeous, but anytime I try I look like a hot mess hahaha.

Something I've been wanting to try..contouring and falsies!

I was actually scared to fill in my brows and now I feel bald without them!

Oh these are great to share with each other! You are all so, so lovely! It's very hard to believe that we get hung up on this stuff- I do it too! I read somewhere a gal said she started wearing full glam red lips while vacuuming, and finally was like "I own this." And never looked back! 😁 I assure you Gals, you are all stunners!! Whether it's smokey eyes, red lips, brows (me too! I'm working on it!😁) falsies, contouring, cheek color or bright eyes, I think the trick is practicing and wearing it when you feel comfortable and taking baby steps? I love your stories and look forward to your conquering pictures!! Post an "I did it!!" Thread? Maybe one month to train??😁😁 πŸ’ͺπŸŽ¨πŸ˜ŽπŸ’•

The thing that scare me a lot is bold lipstick , I find it beautiful on me , but a thing I hate is when people tell me " you got lipstick! " YES THANK YOU CAPTAIN OBVIOUS. I find this really embarrassing.. I try to go slow and I can now wear lipsticks , but not too bold..
Funny , because I really like to wear some when I go out with my parents or friends , on a place where I know nobody , so no one will tell me " you got some lipstick don't you? "
The thing is that sometimes, I feel brave and I finally put the lipstick , but then , I go out and loose ALL my self esteem and try to take it off.. πŸ˜«

My "makeup fear" for myself is wearing a really dark, black smokey eye. It's not (not to sound cocky, I don't mean it that way at all) that I don't think I can execute one, I just find they look odd on me.
I actually have this fear, I want to become a makeup artist, and I have this fear someone will ask me to do something I don't how to do, or can't do.

I wouldn't call it a fear, but false lashes are something I am not interested in trying.
I feel like they would annoy me and make my eyes feel heavy. I cannot even get myself to buy them when they are on sale for $3.00. I always grab them but once I get to the check out I just toss em and say I don't want them. I think someone would have to give them to me for free lol.

My makeup fear is probably just too much make up in general. Just the fear of wearing too much foundation, or eyeliner, or lipstick scares me. But at one point I was really scared of winged liner and I definitely conquered that one!

I'm scared to wear more bold colors on my lips... also things like snapbacks and other style things haha. But y'know, I'm still young now. I want to wear fun lip colors and just enjoy it. :)

My makeup fear is contouring, I don't know where to get the right products and everytime I try it looks hideous!

I was also afraid to fill in my brows but I messed around, Youtubed and finally have the hand of it and make sure I don't do the typical penciled in fat brows!

I've wanted to try oranges but I'm afraid of what my friend will think :(

@ Jacqueline LOL!!πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚βœ‚οΈβœ‚οΈβœ‚οΈβœ‚οΈ
