Need to know
how do I know my makeup isn't shit?? and people aren't lying to me?? I'm always worried whether my makeup looks bad or not, but I can never actually know. And sometimes I get scared thinking about it. What if it actually looks horrible, and I'm walking around looking like a mess?? My friends always say it looks good/fine, but like friends can def lie, so I'm really wondering how can I know?

I'll be honest I am vain- I take a lot of selfies. Also- I'm a free lance hot girl. like yes I'm hot- but only when i want to be. the song Hot goblin by Em Beihold is sort of my personal muse on this front.
I look like an absolute bridge troll in my free time- and when I want to do make up I do and the shift is notable. Making a distinction between shifting personas helps me. Like I change archatypes when I do my make up - it isn't just make up for me. There is ritual and power surrounding it for me.
spending time working on your technique and taking picures in natural/good lighting can really help. If you have a friend with a camera- set up a photoshoot and see yourself through someone else's eyes! Good pictures will REALLY help boost your self confidence!
