Sometimes I watch some makeup tutorials on youtube to see if I can learn something or try something different on me. I´m not an expert on makeup, on my daily life, I´m very minimal and I never spend more than 5 or 6 minutes on it everyday. As long as I have a good concealer, an illuminator, a blush, a mascara, a nude, brown and white eyeshadow and some lip balm and red/pinky lipstick, I am happy and ready to improvise something and look slightly healthier. I normally don´t use foundation because it looks great in the beginning but then, I feel as if my skin starts cracking during the day. Having an entire lawyer of foundation makes me look and feel older sometimes. I never really understood why. To cover imperfections, a concealer is more than enough, it´s lighter and more natural too. I target only the spot I need and that´s it. Recently I read an interview with Julia Louis-Deyfrus and I couldn´t relate more with what she said:
"As I've gotten older, I realize that less really is more—especially when it comes to makeup. I've found that a huge mistake you can easily make that ages you instantly is putting on too heavy foundation. All it does is define the lines you have. I've worked with the same makeup artist, Karen Kawahara, for 20-plus years and she goes light, light, light on my foundation. It's so key and your skin looks great doing it like that"
I'll make you a video of my daily makeup routine for you one day, I promise!
Love, Lilly
