Manifesting this energy: ever feel like your makeup game is just… too much? Like you’re wearing a glittery unicorn horn and the rest of the room is a plain jane? I’m here for it. I’ve been slapping on eyeshadow since 16, now 22, and I’ve mastered the art of looking like a glittery alien. But here’s the twist—sometimes I wake up, grab my palette, and feel like a clown. Not the fun kind, the I-just-accidentally-put-sequins-on-my-forehead kind.
It’s that moment where you’re like, “Okay, I’m doing this… why do I look like a raccoon with a neon light in its eyes?” I’ll use grey eyeshadow, blend in pink to soften it, and still feel like I’ve accidentally committed a crime. It’s not that I don’t love makeup—I’m a collector, I do it daily, and I’ve worn blue mascara without flinching—but sometimes I feel like I’m competing with a squad of girls who just… glow. Like, “Other girls are so pretty with mascara,” and I’m like, “Wait, I am wearing mascara. Why do I look like a disco ball?”
The real kicker? I’m not shy, but there’s this weird insecurity where I feel like I’m overdoing it. Like, “Am I too bold? Am I too… me?” It’s like when you wear red lipstick and feel like a pig, but you’re also the one who loves red lipstick. It’s this weird balance of confidence and self-consciousness.
KEY POINTS: You don’t have to be a minimalist to feel like you’re overdoing it—sometimes it’s just about finding your vibe without the drama. Comparison is a sneaky little gremlin that can make even the best makeup feel like a circus act. Confidence and self-consciousness can coexist, but only if you’re not trying to outdo everyone else.
