I was very excited about my first internship in the fashion world. Clothes, jewelry, shoes, bags- these are all things that I gravitate towards. And so naturally, working in this industry would be a good fit. On my first day, I woke up super early because I was so excited and could not believe that I was actually working in the beauty industry, a childhood dream come true. I wanted to take my time getting ready. And I did.
I took about 30 minutes on my makeup. I’m not staying that it should’ve taken 30 minutes. Maybe 15. But it was still a full face look. Moisturizer, foundation, concealer, eyeliner, about 5 eye shadows, a lip tint. I even filled in my brows. But, there was something missing. MASCARA.
Now, I know what I should’ve done. My usually 4 coats: two not waterproof and 2 top coats waterproof. But I didn’t.
“It is Summer,” I thought.
“You will be fine without it,” I thought.
WRONG. NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER leave the house without waterproof mascara. I was literally at my internship for four hours and before going home I went into the bathroom looked in the mirror and saw this:
AHHHH!

What an interesting first impression. Unfortunately, I am not Katy Perry. If so, maybe this look would fly… For a photo shoot or television. I mean let’s be real. If I saw someone walking around like that I would think they were crazy? (I know you are nodding your head yes.) I LOOKED CRAZY.
So the next time I’m looking for a smudged makeup I am going to attempt something like Aussie beauty Samantha Harris:
Smudged makeup in an elegant way.

Wish me luck. I know I need it.
