Date Night Makeup Readiness & Self-Care

I have never had my makeup applied professionally and decided to treat myself. Let me tell you, that day of pampering was good for the soul. 

  
As wives & mothers, we go 110% daily that we rarely take time for self. If you are anything like me, you feel guilty doing things that just benefit you. Well, really it benefits the family as a whole. When you are at your best, your family is at its best. 

So I bit the bullet and scheduled me a makeover with a professional makeup artist (MUA).

The session was more than I thought it would be. 

   
What are all these brushes? All I have at home is a foundation brush and blush brush. 

So, I was so confused on what and why all of these creams. Well see, one is a primer and the other two were mixed together to get the right foundation tone for my face. 

    
Yep, I’m looking at the assistant like “really is all this needed!” Hey, I’m new to the process but she reassured me to just relax & let them pamper me. 

Even when I’m suppose to be in “off mode,” I’m still trying to control things. So yes, a day of relaxation was hard to get into. 

    
Now, the real application begins…..

    
My MUA was really concentrating on perfecting these tight eyes of mines! 

The final masterpiece:

  
 My MUA is better than yours!
