i have slowly assembled some makeup and i'm tryna figure out these smokey eye tutorials but i feel weird about it so also working on that internalized self loathing. I put some lipstick on and i liked the doing of it and weirdly the flavor and it made me chuckle to leave like lipstick prints on the coffee cup but i didn't like my face with just the lipstick on way too masculine. I put the lovely red polish on my thumb a week agoand it makes me feel nice to see it so experiments will continue.

things are generally nice until i see my face in the mirror then it's hard not to feel sad. So i'm trying to come up with some daily affirmations to rewire my wetware any suggestions are welcome so far I am stuck

edit: squinting crosseyed at your other eyeball while trying to keep your eyelid still and then do the equivalent of model painting with a tiny little brush is goddamn difficult
