Heeeey guys! How are you doin' this Humpday?
Today, I bring you an old picture of a make up fail in honor of Way Back Wednesday. It isn't as much of a fail but more of a mistake. This was when I first really got into makeup. I thought it looked beautiful then but when I look back on it now, I just can't help but cringe...ughh.
So a little Way Back Wednesday back story. I was one of those naughty kids that got into my Mom's makeup drawer and messed with it like applying red lipstick all over my lips... and face... and everything else. I broke several lipsticks, lip liners and eyeshadows. My parents, being the strict parents that they are, forbid me to wear makeup until I was 16, that includes no painting of the nails. In 7th grade, I "borrowed" a sample Lancome eyeshadow duo from my Mom and started using that everyday. I wished I had snap some photos of how I applied those eyeshadows, I can tell you right now, it was quite hideous. This went on until I was in 8th grade. Eventually my Mom found out and I got in so much trouble. I was forbid to use makeup altogether. Fast forward to freshmen year of high school, I begged my parents to allow me to use minimal makeup like eyeliner, mascara and lip gloss. They miraculously allowed me to wear minimal makeup and light colored nail polishes. I remembered I kept pushing the limit and applied a little eyeshadow and nude lipsticks every now and then to see if they noticed and if they did, would they say anything. They were surprisingly okay with it. Towards the end of my freshmen year, I straight up asked them if I can just full out wear makeup. They said yes but with some restrictions, like no bright, red lips, smoky eye, face makeup like foundation and no dark nails like black or chocolate brown, although bright colors like blue, pink and green were okay. After all of the hardships I endured, I only continued to wear makeup on a daily basis for the next year or so. Around Junior year, classes started getting harder and homework piled up and I just didn't feel like putting effort into my makeup anymore. So my makeup applying days were over for a good while until the Summer of my Senior year, preparing for college. I actually had some free time to looked into different makeup looks, techniques and whatever else. So my makeup obsession officially started that Summer.
Without further adieu, I present you me during my freshmen year of high school....
