Makeup vs. Trust Issues
If you told my 15-year-old self that I'd fall in love with makeup, she'd probably laugh at you. I was a thick-liner-and-cheap-mascara kind of teenager, trying to be as punk as my mother would allow me to be. Here I am, just turned 27, sitting at work with a new lipstick and lip liner I bought on my lunch break teasing me on my desk. I have more makeup to my name now than I did my entire childhood.

Makeup: Ditching the Mask
When I was in high school, I would wake up at four AM to shower, blow-dry, and straighten my hair, do a full-coverage, going-to-tha-club makeup routine, and pick out an outfit. This routine usually took from two to three hours depending on how "good" I wanted to look. The reason why I started this routine in the first place is because I was bullied for my appearance since fourth grade. What I wanted was to prove them wrong. I was obsessed with gaining approval from my peers, but I was never able to fully give that approval to myself.

The Eyes Have It
Audrey Hepburn once described her eyes as "the doorway to her heart" —vintage Hollywood had some of the best and most clever uses for eye makeup. The tips and techniques used by old Hollywood actresses are some you'd probably never think to use today. For example, Lucille Ball recommended putting castor oil on your eyelashes to make them thick and glossy, and Bette Davis used petroleum jelly under her eyes to prevent puffiness and/or bags. Vintage Hollywood eye makeup and techniques have since evolved, but below are a few genius yet simple rules that I think are vital to daily makeup routines.
