Masks v. Make-Up
Just because something is covering your face doesn’t mean that you have to hide who you are.
Across the world, wearing masks has become a part of daily life to prevent the spread of COVID-19. People aren’t going out as much, and the homebody routines that we have cultivated can result in boredom. With no destination, much uncertainty, and not much to do, one’s voice and individuality can feel halted.
To combat this, some people have decided to use vibrant eye makeup as a way to express themselves even with the mask on. This evolution in makeup has been used to spice up a (most likely) lack luster daily routine. It would be easy, in a time where people aren’t going out, to just dismiss this step, but makeup can mean so much more than just covering little imperfections.
Whether it's a full glam moment or a single swipe of eyeliner, makeup can go a long way in showcasing who you are. Creating a look that makes you feel confident and beautiful is the real goal when searching for the right product at Sephora. Never feel too shy to be bold and colorful; be who you are.
