You want to look your best at all times. I get that; I do too.
Unfortunately, there are only 24 hours in a day, and as much as I love beauty, I have other things I want to do as well. I have a weekend trip coming up soon where I will be away from home, (and hence, the makeup collection,) for a short while.
We will be going out to dinner, socializing, taking pictures, etc., so of course I want to look nice. However, since the trip is barely 48 hours long, it would be ridiculous for me to carry too much makeup, because really, I only have one face… which will probably be in the pool more often than not.
This got me to thinking about how I could challenge myself to come up with as many different looks as possible using only the most basic of eyeshadows. Then, I would put them all together as a sort of “cheatsheet.” If I was ever feeling uninspired or frustrated with the idea of wearing the same colors multiple times in a row, I could take a peek at my cheatsheet and use it to help me create a look that is not the equivalent of wearing the same t-shirt two days in a row. I know all you makeup lovers out there know what I mean. 😉
