I came, I saw... I contoured.

Tyra Banks once said "I love the confidence make up gives me" and I totally agree, without my daily dose of makeup, the soothing soft blush brush against my cheek bone, I am lost.
I feel dirty and ugly all day, as if the air around me is toxic for my naked skin, as if it NEEDS the protective shield of makeup.

"Don't look at me" is the immediate response I have whenever I see anybody without my usual cover up, I feel insecure, how are my pores?

 I'm not even ashamed of my makeup-less face, I have no trouble waking up bare faced with my boyfriend, or lounging around with my galpals on Sunday sleepover slap free.
I can wake up for lectures, wash my face, and slather on lotions and potions until its hydrated and producing a dewy glow, yet half way through the day, the feeling kicks in.
That sudden heinous feeling, when everyone else around you is so beautifully dolled up and you look like a slug in comparison.

What do you do? You grimace and bare with it until the end of your day, and when you get home you look in the mirror, and your skin is flaking, your complexion pasty and your lipped chapped. You sit there, convincing yourself the bags under your eyes were Prada, so it didn't matter.

In the end you promise yourself, tomorrow is another day, tomorrow will be different. But your alarm goes off at 8am and you repeat the same mistakes.

This is the beginning of hopefully a series of reviews of makeup products ranging from luxury to drug store brands.
