I've lost my makeup mojo

[Deleted]

I'm still wearing it. I just have no definitive plans for my face every day if that makes sense. I just slap some on until I look presentable and there I go. I feel like everything I do looks exactly the same so meh.

I'm in a rut.

You and me both.

What do you usually wear? Natural look or basic stuff like mascara, foundation and lip stick?

I love eyeshadow and really, I have pretty much all of the colors. I have a ton of palettes and when I'm feeling it, I can use five colors or more on my lids and love it. I;m just eh.

I might use cherry smoke today. but I don't really have a look in mind.

Have you watched any tutorials lately? I was getting kind of meh and actually didn't like many of the Spring looks but then I stumbled upon a tutorial that gave me a new way to work with a shadow I had abandoned, and I wound up creating several variations and really enjoying it.

I often get into a rut. I try to change things up by using a product I rarely use. It gets me out of my comfort zone.

That's why the challenges are fun. Helps to push you to think outside the day-in-day out. This week's challenge has been especially good for that. The FOTDs also help, see what others are doing and get inspired.

Me too. On top of being in a rut I got the eye Ebola and I've been in glasses all week. I got a new pair that's much cuter and I've started to get my lipstick mojo back but I'm having a hard time with eyeshadow.

I've been feeling that way too. Your post inspired me to play with my makeup before bed tonight like I used to and it was fun and I found some looks I liked!

Except it hasn't. That's my point.

I think this means that you just need to buy new makeups. LOL

I think that's normal. I've had periods where everything I try looks meh and I get frustrated and the one day things click together better. For example today I pulled together a look that I f'ing loved. So so much using a palette I had been hit or miss on. tutorials help me so much with this. And plus also I do the five minute DGAF face most of the time until I get inspired. I just wish the vloggers would revisit palettes and do more than they do. I f'ing hate hauls. WTF is the point of showing yourself purchasing a metric shit ton of makeup if youre only going to do one look and move on. Ugh. Gets on my nerves.

I went through this for several months. It's why I stopped doing the challenges and taking selfies. Even buying new didn't do it. I started doing basic makeup or no makeup and stayed away from the MUT for awhile.

And now it's back. Guess I needed time off.
