Do you poop out at parties? When you need a boost, whether to lift your spirits or to address a physical imperfection, the question of makeup seems to be all or nothing to many people.  The two schools of thought (I wear makeup or I don’t wear makeup) create the myth that either you have to wear a full face of makeup, a la Joan Collins or nothing but chapstick. The truth is there are many variations inbetween.  You can have a totally bare face with some concealer around your eyes and a bit of lip gloss, or just some tinted moisturiser and mascara. The rule is: There are no rules!

If you want to apply nothing to your face except a shimmery eyeshadow, then follow your bliss. The point is, there is a definite high when you take an action to improve your physical appearance.  No one doesn’t feel better when they apply lip gloss. No one.

So if you’re having a bad day or are feeling a little sluggish – slap on a face mask, apply a new lip gloss, break open that beauty product you bought, but didn’t get around to using. The boost to your mood – and you day – will surprise you!
