That is the fear of looking like a try-hard. In fact, they were my coping mechanism to a bigger fear than the fear of looking ugly. Just like the disguise of chameleon on a tree or a bluestripped fangblenny in the deep water, they were rather the manifestation of my survival instinct in the world of idealized beauty. In my defense, those weren’t necessarily lies (no?). Of all taglines, why on earth does it have to be ‘No Make-up Make-up’? To be honest, there’s really nothing wrong with the color, I genuinely like how those products look on me and I don’t plan to stop using them, but I find the brandings very irksome. If you look inside my make-up pouch, you’ll see that my favorite shade of lipstick has been what YouTube tutorials say as MLBB (My Lips But Better), and I’ve been using my “No Make-up Make-up” palette for as long as I can remember.
I just didn’t want to seem shallow in front of my smart friends. Truth is I had dozens of other clean clothes in my closet. Here’s what I told every each and one of them: I haven’t done the laundry this is the only thing left in my closet. It was rather my own reaction that put me in surprise. The comments people made were anticipated, varying from “you look nice today” to “ mau kemana sih? Rapi bener.” (“where are you going looking so dolled up?”). The other day I wore a floral dress to campus.I wanted him to think of me as a simple, laid-back girl whom he could go eat street foods with at his most proletarian days. No, I didn’t want him to notice my efforts. I didn’t want my date to find out that I spent so much time working on appearance. Terrified with the thought, I changed into a boring blouse and jeans right away. “It would show that you’re trying,” she said. But my friend, whom I invited over for second opinion, disagreed. Particularly that week, I’ve bought a very sweet blue dress (with tiny unicorns here and there) for the occasion. Prior to a first date, I usually buy a new outfit to save myself from long indecisive hours in the closet.Listed bellows are some of them, from the most tolerable to the least: Recently I caught myself doing what our society would consider as lying. That dressing tackily is somewhat the new cute (I know, right?).Which brushes are the most essential (I’m an undergrad student, so I can’t afford them all at once).
