DRUGSTORE EYELINERS

Eyeliner was the first makeup I ever used. I’ll never let middle-school-me down for that.

Specifically, drugstore eyeliners were the first makeup products I ever wore. I applied it badly and like any rebellious tween, I blamed the eyeliner for the racoon-chic results. When I got older, I started purchasing high-end eyeliners, thinking those would solve all of my life’s problems.

Now, I know what you are thinking. “Haha, she’s such a makeup noob, good products can’t replace proper technique!” That is very true, but I am still glad that I spent the money in those formative makeup years on high-end rather than drugstore eyeliners. We tend to think of high-end makeup as simply being better quality. While that is a part of it, I think more importantly, high-end makeup brands are the innovators of the makeup world. High-end makeup brands push boundaries, improve existing products and create new trends. Drugstore makeup brands follow in high-end brands’ coattails, which is actually a good thing.

Experiencing the high-end eyeliners, (and makeup in general,) taught me what is possible. I learned that I need not settle for eyeliners that tug on my eyes when applied or that smear at the first sign of moisture or oil. I also discovered that liquid eyeliners CAN be easy to apply. Lots of lessons learned, I tell you.

Here in the present day, these are the drugstore eyeliners that stand up to the big guns, aka high-end eyeliners. Honestly, I never see the need to purchase another $25 eyeliner ever again because everything I’ll ever need can be found in the drugstore. I now know what I like and where to find it, and that’s super liberating.

10 Beauty “Truths” You Should Probably Ignore | easy everyday makeup + beauty

January 17, 2022

Beauty guru culture has revolutionized how we wear makeup. That’s a good and bad thing.

Don’t get me wrong, the surplus of makeup tutorials out there on the internet have taught me so much of what I know about makeup. But I have also picked up some bad habits and methodologies along the way.

Of course, I’m not blaming the beauty community. These beliefs manifested from my own shortcomings, and I want to make a conscious effort to abolish them. These are things that have changed the way I go about my beauty routines, and make me behave in ways that don’t really suit my personal style. I feel like it is time to address these things because many of these habits totally go against the ideology of The Millennial Maven!

Maybe you have unwittingly fallen into some of these habits or beliefs too. If so, let’s change that!

How To Wear Makeup With A Face Mask | easy & natural makeup look

Makeup With A Face Mask

Makeup while wearing a face mask – necessary or overkill?

I really love masks. I’ll probably be wearing them forever, at least in some vein. Now that I think about it, I cannot believe I used to sit on airplanes with a stranger thisclose to me, breathing all over me, and I didn’t even care. It’s unbelievable, really.

Since I’m in it for the long haul, (and really, so is everybody else since we have no idea when this situation will end,) we might as well figure out ways to make the best of it. When I first started wearing masks back in April, makeup was completely off the table. Just having the mask on my face felt stifling and awful, and I felt like that’s all people noticed anyway, so why bother? I knew that my eyes and eyebrows were visible, but it seemed like nobody was looking at them. All people were looking at was the mask, silently judging its existence on my face one way or the other.

Now that my face mask is just a regular part of my wardrobe, I am starting to veer back toward my usual grooming norms. So basically brushing my hair, wearing a little makeup, and donning outfits that are a bit less Olsen-homeless-chic, if you know what I mean. But it hasn’t all been easy. Masks are quite different than any other accessory I’ve worn before, so they took some getting used to and I faced my share of problems, pun intended.

My face has not seen the outside of my house in nearly 5 months, and it likely won’t for the foreseeable future. This is what I’m working with now. And I don’t mind it.

Read on to see how I’ve been doing my makeup when I’ll be wearing a face mask. It’s simple, comfortable, and uses minimal products. Let’s begin.
