Hey beauties, welcome back to the Creative Contour by Carla podcast.
00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:08.720
Today I am going to be talking about why we can be confident while wearing makeup.
00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:10.400
So let's get into the content.
00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:21.440
Hey beauties, I'm Carla, makeup artist, speaker, business owner, and founder of Creative Contour by Carla.
00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:26.320
I believe we should love wearing makeup should we choose to.
00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:32.240
In this podcast, I will break down the harmful rhetoric spewed by the beauty industry.
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:37.200
Follow along to love yourself, gain confidence, and enjoy a little glam.
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:38.799
Okay, beauties.
00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:52.960
So as you all know by now, I've been a makeup artist for 12 years, business owner for eight years, and I will say that in my experience of working with all of my wonderful customers, that this is a topic that is near and dear to my heart.
00:00:53.439 --> 00:01:05.280
I have learned from a professional perspective, but also from a personal perspective, that we can, C-A-N can, be confident while wearing makeup.
00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:09.680
So, first of all, when we wear makeup, we should be confident.
00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:17.519
But why we can be confident is because we can use makeup as a tool to pour into ourselves.
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:34.239
When we take the time to be intentional with wearing makeup and say, okay, I'm gonna sit down, I'm gonna put some makeup on for myself, and I'm gonna take these few moments, however few they are, to take some time for myself and pour into me.
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:44.319
We fill our own cups, and when we have a full cup, we feel good about ourselves, and when we feel good about ourselves, we are more confident.
00:01:44.879 --> 00:02:02.879
So realistically, taking those few minutes of putting makeup on for yourself, even if you're just putting like mascara and some lipstick on, you're taking those few minutes for you to pour into you, and because you've poured into you, you feel good, and because you feel good, you are more confident.
00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:09.120
So you pour into yourself, and therefore you are confident while wearing your makeup.
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:10.879
The two go hand in hand.
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:24.479
Now, there's also a really fun, interesting side of this, and I will say from a professional perspective, this is the first thing I thought about, um, which is the creative process behind wearing makeup and putting on our makeup.
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:26.400
I'm gonna break this down for you.
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:30.639
Now, obviously, there are some general rules behind wearing makeup, right?
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:40.639
We need to be applying makeup in ways that flatter our unique features that flatter our skin, our skin tone, our lifestyle, etc.
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:52.639
But once we know and understand those things, then makeup becomes a little bit more of a creative process because we understand colors that complement us well.
00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:59.360
We get to choose what colors we want to wear with our outfit, what kind of look we're going for.
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:02.240
There's a lot of fun in the creative process.
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:14.159
And as someone who works in a creative industry herself, even outside of makeup artistry, picking out colors and doing anything, I'm always saying, I'm an artist, everything I create is art.
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:16.639
And that goes for your makeup too.
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:21.919
So when we think about that kind of affirmation, I'm an artist, everything I create is art.
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:28.000
When you're putting on your makeup every day, or when you're going somewhere, you're picking out the colors.
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:29.520
It's a creative process.
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:44.400
Have a little bit of fun with it because when we're building our makeup look and we're using that creative side of our brain, we're also pouring into ourselves and we're also pouring into the joyful side of ourselves, which just makes you happy in general.
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:45.199
And guess what?
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:47.520
When you're happy, you're a lot more confident.
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:49.039
I said what I said.
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:51.280
Let me reiterate that.
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:53.680
Let me get really close for you all.
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:57.120
When you're happy, you're a lot more confident.
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:00.400
I'm totally laughing at myself off camera.
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:05.680
Anyways, so the creative process helps us express ourselves.
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:16.240
And when we are expressing ourselves through this kind of media like this, you are a lot more confident because you get to choose something for you in this manner.
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:19.680
Honestly, for myself, when I'm picking out my makeup, I'm like, this is so much fun.
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:23.439
Like I get to wear like maybe this gold, or today I'm wearing this kind of pinky look.
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:38.399
Like having a little bit of fun with it and picking out different aspects of your makeup look makes you more confident because you're picking the stuff out, because you're using that creative side of yourself, because you are expressing that creative side of yourself.
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:45.439
Beauties, to sum this up, when we wear makeup, we can be confident.
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:49.360
And from here on out, we're gonna say that affirmation for ourselves.
00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:55.279
I want you to repeat after me when I wear makeup, I can be confident.
00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:59.920
When I wear makeup, I can be confident.
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:03.199
So on that note, we're gonna close this episode here.
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:05.920
I hope you enjoyed this episode and see you all soon.
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:06.720
