Tried and True: Capsule Makeup Products

Wellness for me means being intentional, not only about what I am putting in my body but also what I am putting on it. I am by no means anti-this or that, but I do try to choose products with fewer irritants, harsh chemicals, and ingredients that I can’t pronounce in them as much as I can. There are a few OG beauty products that I don’t think I will ever part with (unless a “cleaner” version is available), like my at-home nail care items. But when I can find alternative options regarding beauty items, that perform well I am all for it!

Over the years my beauty routine has been simplified more and more. I used to be a Mac girl and was required to wear a semi-full face to work daily, which was so much fun. I got to play with all of the colors and challenge myself artistically. When I became a mom I transitioned from working for Mac to being a SAHM and no longer wore makeup every day. This transition paved the way for me to rediscover what makeup meant to me and how I wanted to use it to enhance my features. I believe I’ve always been a minimal gal at heart when it comes to beauty products. I love testing out products and finding what works for me, but in terms of a daily routine, I like to keep it simple and effective.

My ideal go-to makeup is a nice full brow, concealer where needed and under the eye, a cream blush, and a voluminous lash.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
