5 Reasons To Do Makeup, Even If No One Sees You

Makeup is the best remedy for blues: it cheers you up and gives you confidence. Therefore, the period of self-isolation is a great opportunity to learn new techniques and experiment, because makeup will definitely not let you drown in everyday matters and will help you feel attractive even behind a pile of household chores. Why is this so - says Olga Romanova, makeup artist and creator of the Romanovamakeup brand.

1. To please yourself

When a woman is satisfied with her appearance, it is immediately noticeable: the very attractive energy that gives a feeling of strength and freedom is revealed in her. A confident woman can move mountains, and makeup helps to awaken and emphasize this quality.

The quarantine period is not a reason to deny yourself makeup. But it's important to remember that your skin also needs rest. Let her breathe several times a week, paying attention to skin care using scrubs, masks and serums suitable for your skin (read also: “When the salon is closed: all about acidic care at home”).

2. Experiment and learn

Quarantine is the perfect time to try something new in makeup, and video conferencing and Zoom parties with friends will allow you to check how comfortable these innovations are for you.

On self-isolation, many makeup artists have launched an extremely informative series of live broadcasts, master classes or beauty marathons. By looking through them, you can gain skills from top professionals, learn useful techniques and try them on yourself with minimal risk. Makeup tutorials offer versatile makeup options that will suit almost all girls and are easy to repeat.

3. Take your time

Now you finally have time to devote enough time to make-up, experiment, "fill" your hand and hone your skills in what there was not enough time for in the usual rhythm of life. You can learn to glue eyelashes or tufts, make dramatic smoky eyes, draw straight arrows, or radically change your make-up style. Repeat the techniques several times in a row, try different shades and shapes, draw conclusions and analyze the results.

4. Make your loved ones happy

Even if you've lived together for 25 years and know all sides of each other, being in a confined space 24/7 affects us in very different ways. Light natural makeup will undoubtedly cheer up not only you, but also bring joy and pleasure to a loved one.

5. Way to cheer up

We all periodically experience a state of apathy, lack of strength, a feeling of complete inability to master or do something. A great way to cheer up is to pull yourself together, take a shower, do some light styling, and apply makeup.

Correct under-eye blemishes and visible imperfections, apply a bit of tone, adjust the shape of the face, add a few highlighter touches, dust off the eyebrow pencil and mascara. You will definitely notice: already in the process of creating makeup, your mood will begin to change for the better.
