How the Make Up For Ever Boutique Reminded Me that I was Beautiful

I’ve been playing makeup for years. I dabbled as a makeup artist while living in NC, I’ve taken several classes and watched many a video on makeup application. While I’m still a huge makeup hoarder fan I’ve gotten so busy with school and life that I basically just went with the simplest makeup applications. You know foundation, concealer, eyeliner, mascara, blush and a gloss or lipstick. This worked for me and probably took me only about 10-15 minutes.

Getting back my Melody

Getting back my Melody

This is my second time transitioning and will be my third big chop. Wow, my third big chop… when I think about how long my hair would’ve been if I never big chopped the first time… Actually let me not. I BC’d the second time because my hair was consuming my life. The literal “wash DAY”, the fairy knots and the constant product junkism got the best of me.  About 2 months before my wedding I just chopped it all off. My husband was surprised, I was liberated and  I loved my cut cropped cut. I’m BC’ing a third time…
