Why Beauty?

Beauty has not always been a passion of mine. Before this last year, I had the slightest clue of what it meant to use a crease brush, to get my nails “filled in”, or that red lipstick looked pretty decent on me. My junior year of high school, I branched out of my normal makeup routine, which was mascara and foundation, stolen from my mom, which was way too dark for me.

I started watching youtube videos of beauty gurus with hundreds of thousands of subscribers. I would watch them with awe. I’d think to myself, “how did you do such a perfect winged eyeliner on your first try?!” I would attempt to recreate what I saw on screen, only to result with a black mess all over my face.

After months of playing with the makeup taken from my mom’s dresser, I got a hang of doing my makeup. My eyeshadow always got compliments from the girls at school. I decided I wanted to expand my own collection of makeup. So on Black Friday of that year, I made my first major purchase: the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette. I used that palette to death for months and months until I got pretty dang good at doing my makeup.

I started to collect more and more makeup and watch hours of youtube videos. After spending that much time on watching videos, I decided I wanted to make some of my own, and so I did. I made my first youtube channel a few months ago and recorded around a dozen videos.

Once school started, I ran out of time to sit down and film and edit. When I found out that we were assigned to keep a blog, with a topic of our choice, in english class, I was so excited! I was thinking to myself, “I’m just going to turn my youtube into a blog! That way I have to keep up with it.” And that is exactly what I am doing.

I chose to do my blog on everything beauty because I have a passion for it. I have already done things blog/vlog related in the past, and now that it is an assignment, I have no problem doing it. I can definitely see myself keeping up with this blog, even after my english class is over. The assignment will obviously be my motivation to keep up with it during the semester, but my passion will be the motivation for when it is over.

I hope that everyone reading this can see my passion through my words, and maybe even learn a thing or two while you’re here. :)

Until next time!
