Day 89: Wear Makeup & Bonus

Challenge: Wearing makeup around all day

What I am afraid of: Putting it on wrong, judgement (if it looks bad), people commenting on it

How it went: Spoiler alert: No one cares

In all honestly, this is the fifth time in my entire life I’ve ever worn makeup. No joke. And it’s the second time I’ve done my whole face. I had my friend help me out with this project (thanks C❤️). She pretty much applied 75% of the makeup, but she showed me what she was doing and let me apply some of the eyeshadow. (I did apply eyeshadow… right C?)

Overall, I thought I looked pretty good. It was subtle, but noticeable. This is the first time I’ve worn makeup that’s not for some fancy dance event, so I didn’t look as transformative as I would have thought. It wasn’t uncomfortable to wear today, and I almost forgot I had it on the majority of the day. It was kind of a pain to take off, but that’s probably just from my lack of experience. It didn’t make me a lot more confident which I expected, I was still just me.  I would wear makeup again… if I had time to apply it. I also do not own any makeup and I wouldn’t even know what to buy. Maybe C can help me with that next time. 😉

 

Day 87 (Part 1): Be Honest All Day

Challenge: To be honest all day long

What I am afraid of: Telling people things that will make me look bad

How it went: I read this article awhile ago that said that most people lie at least 3 times within a 10 minute conversation. Not huge lies, just little things that will make them sound better to others.

The past few days, before doing this challenge, I have been a little bit more conscious of if I tell lies to see if it would be a scary thing to be completely honest. I found I don’t lie a ton, but, when I do lie, it’s little things that will make me sound “better” to the person I’m talking to.

Today, I tried to be as honest as possible, but at first it was hard to remember that I was doing this challenge. I didn’t tell any lies and I seemed to just talk more and say more things that I actually believed. Today, when people said “how was your day?” I didn’t just say good, I went into detail explaining my day.

Near the end of the day I told people that it was my challenge to be honest all day and to ask me any questions they had. They pretty much just wanted to know my opinion of them which wasn’t anything I haven’t said to them before.

Overall, I didn’t really get a good chance to tell the truth when I would normally lie, but I will be more aware of when and why I lie in the future.
