When celebrities start getting work done, they rarely do it all at once. A tweak here, a refinement there. Small enough that no single change is obvious, but over time—unmistakable. The mind adjusts. The audience adapts. What was once different becomes normal.
We do this with makeup, too. The slow shift.
If you wear a full face every day and feel dependent on it, try removing one thing. Skip eyeliner. Swap foundation for tinted moisturizer. Give yourself time to adjust. The absence won’t feel so stark when it happens gradually.
If you never wear makeup and want to start, don’t jump straight to full glam. Add one thing. A brow pencil. A tinted lip balm. Let it settle. Let it feel like you.
The trick isn’t transformation overnight—it’s evolution over time. The changes we make for ourselves, at our own pace, become the ones that last.
