Has anyone else had this experience? I’m a total makeup lover and I thought that once I had the opportunity to wear makeup everyday I would really enjoy it. Previously I’ve had to get up too early and a job that doesn’t really fit the vibe. Now I have the opportunity to wear it every day and I realizes I don’t like it. Makeup is my hobby and it feels like I’m not doing it for me anymore if I do it everyday. I’m kind of surprised by this honestly. I tried it for a bit but just felt very unlike myself. I love the idea of wearing makeup all the time but I think it’s just not my thing. Guess I’ll always be a evenings out and weekends makeup kind of girl.
I wore makeup every day, whether I was working or not. Then Covid happened and putting on makeup with a mask became mostly pointless. Plus, I was working in a place with sterile rooms where no makeup is (supposed to be, although people did it anyway) allowed.
Eventually, I got so used to seeing myself without makeup that it started feeling weird to see myself with it. I’ve gradually gotten back into wearing it when I go out to eat and such, but it’s no longer the necessity I once thought it was. I still enjoy putting it on—it’s taking it back off that always felt like a chore to me.
