00:00In society and online and social media you know we all want to feel good without
00:04makeup and we all want to say like no like you don't need makeup to be
00:07beautiful which is so true and I totally believe that but sometimes I feel
00:10hypocritical because I'm saying that online but then when I go to the
00:14grocery store I want to put on a little concealer or something which is okay.
00:18To me makeup is just art and it's a way for you to express yourself it's a way
00:22for you to feel more confident about yourself it's a way just to I don't know
00:25just kind of have fun honestly. So my nighttime skincare routine changes a
00:29little bit but overall this is pretty much what I do every single night to
00:32take off my makeup. I always put my hair up and I love using scrunchies and then
00:37use a little clip. We have some makeup wipes. I've used these things for years I
00:44love them they're the Neutrogena makeup remover cleansing towelettes. Fun fact
00:49if you store your makeup wipes upside down the newest one you grab every time
00:52is like more wet so it's better. I learned that like six years ago on
00:56YouTube so bless the beauty community for teaching me that. I've always just loved
01:01makeup like more than I feel like most girls do like in middle school I just
01:05remember I would wake up and I'd beg my sister to teach me how to do my makeup
01:08because I just found it so fun and I loved how I would get so much more
01:11confidence out of it. I actually started wearing makeup in seventh grade I went
01:16from wearing absolutely no makeup to wearing a full face including foundation
01:20eyeliner like thick eyeliner eyeshadow blush like everything and then it also
01:26became this thing where I felt like all my classmates knew that what I looked
01:29like with a full face of makeup so it felt so weird not wearing makeup and I
01:33was in seventh grade and I was 13 years old and or 12 years old oh man yeah I
01:36think I was 12. Wow I don't know what I was thinking my mom let me like totally
01:41fine but looking back I wore like such thick eyeliner every single day to where I
01:46looking back I can totally see how that caused a lot of insecurity because I felt
01:50like I couldn't not wear makeup. I would tell my younger self and I would also
01:54tell if I have a future daughter to maybe like ease into it you know where
01:58like lip gloss maybe wear a little mascara like a clear mascara again
02:03there's like nothing wrong with that but seeing how much it did affect me I feel
02:07like I could have saved myself if I could go back and say just like kind of ease
02:11into it and let it be fun still. So the next step in my skincare routine is
02:14cleansing my face you know we got to wash it now that we got all most of the
02:17makeup off and my skin has always had such uneven texture and this has helped
02:22so much this is the Kate Somerville Exfolicate cleanser so I always think
02:27about the fact that if I was in high school now and if I was going through
02:30middle school now with the beauty standards that there are I don't know
02:34how girls do it or guys I don't know how anyone does it because having
02:38Instagram like I'm gonna age myself so much I didn't have Instagram till I was
02:41like a senior in high school and being able to compare yourself to so many people
02:44and not only other people but like unrealistic beauty standards I can't
02:49imagine what people have to go through now so next we need to moisturize I am
02:56obsessed with the brand Drunk Elephant they sell it at Sephora but this
02:59moisturizer has done wonders for my skin you just go like this super cute
03:04packaging I do like one pump one of the main reasons why I stopped
03:08photoshopping myself was because these beauty standards that I hate so much in the
03:13world that are unrealistic I was doing to myself I was literally just as guilty of
03:17making these unrealistic beauty standards of the things that I hated so much and I
03:21just kind of felt hypocritical honestly the next step that I use a girl from
03:25Sephora told me to use this and I used it and I really liked it so I can't
03:28really tell you too much about what it does but it's the origins mega mushroom
03:33relief and resilience soothing treatment lotion but it kind of just soothes
03:36everything down I think when I start to get down on myself or like you know
03:42doubting myself or just feeling insecure I try now to be more aware and see where
03:47that's coming from I think that's such a better way to kind of handle those
03:50things instead of just putting yourself down the whole time and I think when you
03:54can kind of take a step back it's a way less of a mountain to like deal with so
03:59the last step that I do it's grape water it's just like literally water in a can
04:03and you spray it on your face and it feels really really good so I like to do it and
04:08if that's the only reason why then that's why I should buy a $14 water in a
04:13can oh it feels so good now my skin just feels so clean and hydrated it's funny
04:21because when I think of beauty I think of natural which is such the opposite of
04:26how the world makes us see it but when I think of someone like genuinely laughing
04:30like to me that's beauty or when I think of a mother-daughter relationship or when
04:35I just think of like a friendship of two people who like love each other and care
04:37about it I don't know maybe I'm just getting older and like my views are like
04:40changing that way but just something natural and genuine and real I think is
04:46what I think beauty is
