HELP...I'VE FORGOTTEN HOW TO APPLY MAKE UP!!!!!

So if you are a regular reader (seriously, are there any?) you may have read my incredibly whiny post from last week which went into detail about me having the flu, being bed bound and generally feeling a bit shitty blah blah blah...

Despite it being a week full of self pity I was generally rotten and could barely lift my head off of my pillow. During my time with the lurgy I literally did not give a damn how I looked as to be honest the only people who saw me were Minnie, Mickey, Penelope the Unicorn, Rudie the reindeer and my beloved bears Grump and Keekee...all being of the stuffed variety, if you haven't already guessed! I couldn't be bothered showering all week let alone attempting to do my hair and make up!!

Now, here's the thing I have always prided myself on my creativity and for being a bit of an artsy person. and have always said that doing my make up was just another form of me expressing my artistic nature (bit pretentious there Holl, steady on!) As your face is a blank canvas and makeup is the tools.

#selfie, much artistic!

However, once I was ready to make the effort to look fairly normal and make some kind of effort with my appearance I had just lost all creativity and knowledge I ever held on how to apply my makeup! Seriously it was as if I had never seen makeup before and my hands went into complete spasm and couldn't correspond what I needed to do to look like the normal Holly!

The list of Holly's post-flu makeup fails!!

1. I completely forgot my skincare routine and went the whole day moisturizer free.
2. I forgot primer
3. I put my concealer on before foundation
4. I applied my powder with the nastiest, scratchiest brush in my collection, WHY?!
5. My eyebrows were wonky
6. My eyeliner was wonky
7. My lipstick was wonky
8. I put mascara on before eyeliner
9. I put way too much highlighter on and ended up looking super shiny
10. I forgot to prime my eye-shadow
11. finally...I wore pinkish eye-shadow with red lipstick..talk about clash!!!

As you can tell it was definitely not a good day for me makeup wise!

However, isn't the first time this kind of thing as happened. It seems that every time I have the slightest makeup break, my body goes into some kind of amnesia state and it's suddenly forgotten how to put makeup on all together! Please reassure me if this kind of thing has ever happened to you too!!

It's safe to say that after that struggle yesterday, today was a complete makeup free day - way too much effort for a lazy Sunday!! Here's hoping that I have better luck with it tomorrow! Hope you've had a good weekend!!

Holly
