Day 13 of total vulnerability. Something I’m trying to work on is how I talk to myself about my abilities. I have a really bad habit of talking down about myself when it comes to something I’ve attempted to do, but it didn’t turn out well. Now, I’m not talking about something I tried ONCE and then decided to be a brat and complain because it didn’t go as expected. It usually happens after NUMEROUS attempts and my impatient self will get frustrated and will say, “ugh, you’re never gonna get this right!” Growing up, I had a serious love/hate relationship with makeup. I found it super pretty and intriguing, but because I started experimenting with it late and never really invested in good products or taking MORE time to work on applying it in a flattering way, I used to look at like s very tedious chore that I tried avoiding at all costs. However, as I pursue modeling, I’m constantly in situations that require I do my own makeup. Either because the makeup artist isn’t confident in their skills to apply makeup in a way that’s flattering for my complexion or because there is no makeup artist period I say all this because, I did my own makeup for this shoot and when I got the shots back, I was really shocked. I ALWAYS tell myself that I don’t know how to do makeup well, but that’s simply not true. I hold myself to a very unrealistic standard the majority of the time because I’m comparing myself to others. We aren’t even in the same lane! I’m being incredibly ridiculous. Even though I may not know how to do looks like Alissa Ashley or Raven Elyse, it doesn’t mean I can’t learn or that what I DO know how to do is garbage. I’m more talented than I allow myself to believe. You are more talented than you allow yourself to believe. Stay humble, but don’t self depreciate. How do y’all encourage yourselves when you’re feeling insecure/doubtful about you work? : @tirececheshire https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv9nYd8FrMZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18z6ay1l1ozg8 -- source link
