I was planning to do a couple of blogs for today. Mostly regarding my cosmetic haul from the past 2 days. I already took pictures and was already forming thoughts and words in my mind. I was also planning to re-arrange my makeups and put sticker with date of purchase, first opened and use, @ the back portion. Suddenly my sweet, happy mood turned into sour. I'm open with criticism (or so I thought) but when my boyfriend told me that maybe I need to go to MAC and ask the associates to teach me how to apply eyeshadow. I got upset. Of course I didn't tell him. I even ask how it looks like and if it is only the eyeshadow I'm not doing right. He just told me he feels like I'm not doing it right because it doesn't pop my eyes. After we hang up I suddenly got discouraged.
I am not a makeup guru, professional and I don't always wear it all the time. I just like having my own makeup set as well that's why I'm buying cosmetic products. I have to admit eyeshadow is not my forte. I just can't execute it well as other girls can. I just play with it. As long as I'm presentable I'm okay. But hearing someones comment particularly my boyfriend just made me feel bad. I feel bad that I have all these eyeshadow palette and I don't even know how to use it. the proper way. I tried it again and again but I just couldn't. Either my colors are too shimmery, I'm not executing it the right way (which I know I am not) or I just need to pay more attention watching tutorials and need more practice.
I watched a couple of eyeshadow tutorial most especially the basic ones. But I just got frustrated because most of them are using a smoky eye look techniques even if they say it's basic, natural, everyday wear or easiest way. I wish they'll just use 2 shades of eyeshadow and 2 simple techniques so I can follow easily. Due to this frustration I'll just focus on my face, cheeks and lips. I'll just use the most basic eyeshadow application I can. But I'm still hoping that I'll do it right. How I wish someone taught me how to apply eyeshadow the right way. I think that's one of my regrets if you can consider it. My mom, aunts or cousin never taught me how to apply makeup. I just had to figure it on my own.
So that's how my day became a not so happy day
