Anyone else done this? I really cannot be arsed with making much effort, but doing nothing at all makes me depressed whenever I catch sight of my reflection. These are the little things I've been doing that help but require minimal effort:
- Perfume. A squirt or two of something nice every day. I have lots of perfumes but I usually save them for "best". Stopped doing that as there is no best anymore and a nice scent helps my mood.
- nice tops. My lower half is always in joggers or leggings, with slippers, but I vary the tops, choosing flattering ones in nice colours and resisting the urge to just wear my large warm hoody every day.
- earrings. I'm rotating my collection so I wear a different pair every day. Some of them barely see the light of day usually so it's good for them all to get a turn.
- eyebrows. I can't be bothered with the faff of putting on make up, - and worse, taking it off - but my overly plucked 90s eyebrows are pathetic, so putting on a bit of brow mascara gives my whole face more structure.
- glasses. I only put my lenses now if I'm going somewhere where I'll have to wear a mask, as my glasses steam up. With them on it gives my face that extra structure which make up usually provides. I'm pale with light coloured lashes and eyebrows, though dark hair weirdly, so tend to just look faded and tired without makeup. My glasses are quite large tortoiseshell ones, and just seem to compensate for that.
I'm rather liking this new look. I'm aware I look less "pretty" than I do when I make a proper effort, but I think I look more interesting this way.
Anyone else have a new lockdown look they're enjoying?
