Putting on makeup can be a self care ritual all on its own. Not a rushed part of getting ready in the morning. But a time of going slow, sitting with yourself, and pampering yourself. I’ve never really had a “routine” for putting on makeup. But I’ve always had a spot for putting on makeup. Which has always been the floor. I’m not sure why and its kind of strange. I’ve had a vanity table for years that was gifted to me. But I never sit at it. The floor just became the “putting on makeup spot” since I started wearing it.

As part of my putting on makeup ritual, I like listening to music or watching a vlog. I also like to watch get ready with me videos too. It’s like doing makeup with a friend or your favorite beauty vlogger. Over time I’ve also grown to like sitting in front of a window in a sunlit room. I like seeing how makeup looks in natural lighting while I put it on instead of being surprised once I see myself in natural light later. LOL 😂

Like I always say Saturday self care is really everyday care. So (if you can or when you can) put on your favorite makeup or go-to makeup and listen to your favorite music, have tea or coffee, or just get ready for your day in silence. If you enjoy makeup let the time of the day you put it on be one of the many glimmers of joy in your day. ☀️💖

Do you have a routine for putting on makeup? Let me know below.
