It can be really difficult to be a woman. Between the expectations of grandeur from our jobs and the demands of the family we chose to have, something has to give and for most women it’s our looks. It’s not that we don’t care about what we look like, it’s just that there are only twenty four hours in a day and that extra hour of sleep is worth more than an hour to apply make-up or straighten hair.

With the birth of all new products used to reduce the bags under our eyes, make our cheeks pink and our eyes pop, there’s an unsaid pressure to be beautiful. The only time you really need eye shadow and senegence lipstick, is when YOU want to feel beautiful. You don’t need to contour every angle of your face morph it into something different. Contouring make-up is designed to make our noses slimmer, our cheeks brighter and our cheekbones higher. The thing is, contouring changes your face, and when you want to feel beautiful, that should be in your own skin and not a mask you put on.
Finding a balance in your everyday life is the perfect way to contour. Smooth the edges of the morning routine and sharpen the look of the weekend so your household obligations are balanced with family time. Contouring your life is so much more important than contouring your face.
Assess your life the way it is now and make a conscious decision to balance your life. Put time in your planner for yourself along with the time you have to take for chores, shopping and your job. The only way to make your life work in sync is to force the twenty minutes of me time in per day. Set yourself solid and achievable goals: whether this is day by day or week to week.
Sure, make a point of beautifying in the early morning hours before a long day ahead and if that includes the latest contour kit, go for it. Your self-esteem is important and knowing how to boost that is imperative to your confidence. Slick on that war paint; as long as you understand that the war is already one the moment you get yourself up for the day, then make-up is no longer a weapon. Hold your head high every time you get out of bed in the morning and your self-esteem will be like a concrete bubble: large and impossible to pop!
You should believe in your own powerful womanhood and while Kim Kardashian introduced the trend for contouring your face, you should remember that your individual beauty is stronger than blending powders for a sharper look. There is nothing wrong with your face. So contour away, but make sure your self-esteem is intact. Make sure your life is well balanced so that the need for sharp features doesn’t take over.
