Inspired by Seth Godin’s blog post on herbs, let’s consider the role of makeup in our lives.
Without skincare, our faces can struggle to maintain their natural glow.
But it’s possible to go through life without ever touching makeup. Your skin will still serve its purpose.
Makeup, like herbs in cooking, is often seen as an unnecessary luxury—an expensive addition that isn’t strictly required. Yet, when the goal is to create joy, express personality, or evoke confidence, makeup becomes a bargain.
In our rush to streamline our routines, makeup is often the first thing to go. We strip away anything that isn’t purely functional, focusing only on the basics.
The first time you try a bare-bones beauty routine, you might feel liberated, even refreshed. But over time, something might feel missing, like an element of self-expression has been overlooked.
That’s when a skilled makeup artist or beauty enthusiast comes in, reintroducing makeup as more than just a tool—more like a sprinkle of herbs. It’s those tiny touches that add texture, depth, and a sense of delight to your daily routine, reminding you that beauty isn’t just about necessity; it’s also about the joy of the experience.
