A Guide To Effortless Beauty
Makeup
It's been said that the "full beat" makeup trend of the late 2010s is no longer in style, and I agree. The makeup cycle has gone from #fullglam to #cleangirl in 5 years. Today we are talking about my favorite happy medium #soft glam.
Soft·Glam /so͞ft'glam/
"effortless, diffused, and almost ethereal—basically, a more polished but natural you."
Ladies, if you want to stand out among the crowd or even just feel like the best version of yourself, a soft beat is a way to go!

Rules of Thumb
Keep your brows shaped and filled in.
Practice makeup application daily until you find your happy medium with products. (I personally utilize concealer and setting powder for a no-makeup makeup-baked look)
Wear moderate lashes ( Soft glam usually looks best with lash extensions or moderately length mink lashes)
Utilize a brown lip line with your shade of nude lipstick and gloss to give that extra pop of effortless glam.
Eyeliner, eyeshadow, and blush are optional.

Skin Care
Skincare is the foundation of all things beauty. A daily skincare routine is essential to minimize and maintain blemishes. Soft glam is about a fresh face with a pop of "I KNOW YOU SEE ME"!
Rules of Thumb
I recommend committing to a twice-daily skincare routine both morning and evening.
Make sure to wake up early enough to wash your face and apply all the necessary products before beginning makeup application.
Plan weekly deep cleanse for the face ( I like to plan my mask for the evening so they can be set without rushing).
I suggest buying skin care products as needed and try not to overstimulate your face.

Hair
Hair can make or break a look. Imagine looking your best, but your hair is all over the place. It's an oxymoron. You should never shorthand your feminine routine by neglecting your hair. Whether you are a beginner or advanced, styling and maintaining your hair is always necessary when executing a soft glam look.
Rules of Thumb
Practice makes perfect; carve out time in your schedule to master simple styles such as curls and crimps.
Make sure your lace is always melted!
Natural hair beauties treat your hair with conditions and detangling as often as your hair type requires.
Create a mood board and set a goal to master each hairstyle.
Deep condition and silicone treat wigs in between each install.
Natural hair beauties master twist outs, edges and ponytails for a polished on-the-go look at all times.

Affirmations..
Everyday, I come on this app and on the Internet in. General to see a plethora, multiple Epistles of affirmations. For wealth, beauty, good grades and so on
In the same vein, I will sometimes come online to see multiple posts bashing affirmations and calling them useless. I honestly kind of agree because if you don't do the necessary work to achieve what you desire, then the affirmations are just as good as reciting nursery rhymes to yourself.
Personally, I do use affirmations. However, I use them as a supplementary tool for grounding purposes - not to replace the actual work that I need to do.
Sometimes, you could be going through a lot. So much and you just need to hear that you're doing great, that you're still beautiful and so you go to the mirror and chant "I am beautiful! I am smart!" Until you believe it.
But are you sure? Do you really believe it?
I've had an experience with faking affirmations until I believed them and at first it seemed useless but at a point I really did start to believe. I really did start to look into the mirror with love and admiration for myself and in awe of this beauty that I somehow never saw before.
Till today, I still use affirmations - well, an affirmation. I no longer use a whole paragraph that I have to memorize. I only use one and it works wonders for me when it comes to grounding and comforting myself and keeping myself from breaking down when things are not going how they are supposed to - as they seem to always be doing these days. I will share it with you.
Everything is always working out for me no matter how it seems at any given point in time.
In my opinion, this affirmation is so powerful because it serves as a reminder to myself in any situation that I will be alright. When things are good, it's like a nice "see? Things are going excellently as we love them"
And when things are bad, it's like a comforting "hey, you'll be alright no matter what it looks like right now"
You get me?
So yeah.. affirmations don't work without the work in most situations but they're a nice pat on the back and a great grounding tool to have. And remember..
Everything is always working out for you no matter how it seems at any given point in time
Pro tip; use a mirror

Femininity Tips for Beginners
If you are anything like me: poise, sophistication, and class were all learned traits. Here are a few tips for our self-taught girlies trying to tap into their feminine and main character eras. 
Phase 1
🌸Define your aesthetic🌸
What is your personal style? I personally Identify with:
#barbiecore
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
#y2K
Tumblr media
#urban
Tumblr media Tumblr media
once you've Identified your personal style It's time to work on your confidence!
Phase 2
✨Mastering Confidence✨
Below are links to two videos that have helped me to change my thought process and tap into my inner confidence. Mastering confidence is essential to exuding true femininity.
How To Be Irresistible 101 - YouTube
The Secret to Being Irresistible: The 4 Key Feminine Behaviors - YouTube
Achieving the "IT" factor starts with impressing yourself rather than seeking validation. The YouTube girlies love to complain about the male gaze, but I am completely ok with it. Remember that desirability begins at home, and we all have the right to obtain it.
Confidence has been the hardest part of my feminity journey , however I have come to the conculusion that the only way you can fully step into your 🦋 era.
Phase 3
💦Hygiene, Hygiene, Hygiene 💦
Ladies looking and smelling your best at all times is must when stepping into your femininity. Laid wigs, soft beat, manicured nails, and toes are my personal preferences for daily appearance. Below are my favorite hygiene videos and blog entries written by yours truly.
