When it comes to Make Up, I've never had the confidence to use the tools women use in today's society. As you are all aware, Make-Up has been around since day dot. I'm talking about BC days mainly used by Ancient Egyptians and Greeks as an earliest form of rituals in certain cultures. Today it's used in every society around the globe.
Coming from myself, I know the basics such as how to apply a simple lipstick, eyeliner, mascara etc. I have never been the girl or should I say the woman to use foundation or highlighter. I suppose as a kid my skin was always messed up on certain areas of my body because I had eczema like every other little kids does. So I guess you could say I was scared to apply something like foundation on my skin, I was afraid my skin will flair up. So I never got to experiment.
In the last several years, the Make up Industry has grown tremendously due to the digital age we live in. You have bloggers, fashionistas and celebrities creating make-up tutorials on social media such as your Insta, Vloggers on YouTube such as Danielle Peazer, Nia the Light or Kaz Crossley from the Love Island showing their tricks of creativity which I have to say is a blessing, because you have women like myself who doesn't wear make up often is actually learning new tricks and new tools to bring out your face in a new light. When I say new tools, I mean concealer, highlighter, primer and many more.
Now some of you are probably thinking, Char, these tools are not new, but back in the early nineties, there is no way you heard people utter these words. The most you will hear is lipstick and mascara. Instead of using the word make-up, I'm going to use the word substance, because at the end of day that's what it is a "Substance" that gives women a new light, a glow, transforms them into someone different and not the person who woke from their bed early hours of the morning.

This substance provides boost of power and new release of confidence to women. It's about transforming your self into not a different person but a new representation of yourself.
I'm 35 years old and till this day I have never walked over to Selfridges or Harrods make up stands and asked to test out their make up products, the most I would do is ask for directions lol, maybe it's about time I test out these Make-Up stands.
As the Festive season is upon us, I feel I would like to take the plunge and experiment a little, see what my face can really look like if I doll it up. The one thing about myself is like to look different when I go out, it could be different shoes, different clothes or even if I put a hint of eyeliner around my eyes and this makes a major difference.
