Remember when everyone was sorely misguided and thought makeup was worn to be attractive to others? What a time! I’d like to think we’ve progressed enough now to know that if a honey is wearing something a little extra on top of their facial birthday suit, it’s probs because of how it makes them feel, not you.
We spoke to four bonafide babes on how their makeup choices shift according to what’s going on mood-wise. If you want some inspiration for next time you’re feeling sassy or whatnot, keep reading.

Getting glammed up and wearing makeup allows me to really express my personality. Just like my personality, there are so many facets to my makeup routine and that is what I love most about being able to play with makeup and express myself through that.
I can express just the way I’m feeling through not only the way I apply my makeup but what colours I wear. Colour is a huge part of my job and lifestyle, so going for a dramatic dark, vampy lip can speak louder than 1000 words.

I keep my makeup looking fairly similar at all times – I like to think I’m reliable like that.
My go-to makeup look is always dewy, bronzed, with highlighted skin – that’s a must. Sometimes I’ll add a winged liner if I want to feel a little more ‘done’, a bright lipstick if I’m feeling playful, and if I’m feeling a little grungey I’ll do a smudged-out smokey eye.

My makeup routine is pretty basic, though I do like to ensure I buy the best brands that work for my skin. I love experimenting with a bold lip colour and do my best to match that to my personality and outfit depending on my mood. As I’ve gotten older though, I have realised that a good skin regimen is just as important as the makeup I apply to my face. So cleansing and moisturizing have become a big part of my skincare routine.
I like a nude lid, highlighter on my cheeks and then a lip colour that pops. If it’s date night with my boy I’ll rock a red lip and if I am heading to meetings the colour palette will be more natural. I definitely get lazier with my routine in winter so my go-to becomes a good tinted moisturizer, concealer under the eyes and a light brush of bronzer on my cheeks to give me some shape. Brows as always are uber important for me and I ensure they are always tinted and well kept.
