Hello lovely people!
There are so many rules when it comes to makeup but there is one that I like to actually follow which is the 15 minute rule. Have any of you ever had your makeup done and thought oh my goodness, that’s way too much? Or, for all you makeup lovers, ever had one of those days where you’re trying to achieve this perfect smokey eye and one eye just doesn’t seem to match the other?
Yes, it happens, admit it! All of us, even the most professional, have days where things just aren’t working as we would like them to. My advice in those situations is always to use the 15 minute rule. Anytime you apply makeup and you have this OMG moment, walk away and don’t look at your makeup for at least 15 minutes.
Two reasons why, firstly, makeup is actually a foreign substance to the skin and when you apply it to the face, there’s actually a period of rejection. So after about 15 minutes, makeup tends to softens a little. Secondly; whenever you’re trying to match that second eye, sometimes too much focus is a bad thing. The 15 minutes away will allow you to have a fresh perspective when you come back and try to fix it.
Hope this rule works for all of you like it does for me!
Xoxo
