I have been plagued by boredom. Leave me behind Before the pandemic, I had a low-key makeup routine that relied on the usual suspects: tinted moisturizer, bronzers, a touch of blush (I have rosy cheeks, of course), mascara, and a good ol ‘brow pencil. It was a routine that I knew and loved. But when remote working became the norm, I decided to focus more on my skin and less on makeup. My thought process was simple – the better my complexion, the less I would have to rely on other products to make me feel good. In theory, it’s smart and I’m still behind my thinking, but after almost a year I’ve realized how uninspired I’ve felt. Light lips didn’t do it for me. Neither were dramatic eyes. Not even a full glow! I think all it took was the New Year and our February cover shoot with Daisy Ridley to get me excited about makeup again.
