The early days of quarantine had my basking in my bare and makeup-free skin, blissfully unaware that the freeing feeling of not having to wear makeup would soon be replaced by the insatiable desire to have somewhere to wear makeup to.
I’ve finally realized that having nowhere to go is not an excuse to leave my makeup alone. After all, these products expire and I need to get my moneys worth. Honestly, this might be the best time to play around with makeup, for your eyes alone (and maybe a few lucky Zoom companions).
My resolve to play around with makeup has taken me down a rabbit hole of stunning beauty looks to try, but the looks that keep standing out to me involve a few key ingredients: fluttery lashes, bold earrings, and a neutral lip. Keep scrolling to see the beauty looks that I’ll be copying from these African influencers.
