It was time to change my morning routine. The hustle and bustle of getting ready for a long commute to work was wearing me thin and I knew something had to change for me to have a little more peace in the mornings.
It was time to change my makeup routine.
Going from full pageant glam to pandemic fresh-faced was quite the change but helped me ease into my latest routine. After wearing masks and dealing with maskne, my makeup routine had already taken a turn for a simpler, low-effort look.
However, I still had mounds of makeup piled up in the bathroom, constantly looking for better storage solutions and forgetting what I even owned. Makeup that I had purchased probably 10 years ago and way past expiration was still making it onto my face.
So that’s when I decided to fully deinfluence and declutter – getting rid of almost everything I owned. Despite a few items I had recently purchased, I tossed my entire makeup collection in the trash for a fresh start.
After cleaning everything out I searched for the best 5-minute makeup routine and found Merit Beauty’s kit. I was then “reinfluenced” from their ads on TikTok and decided to give it a try.
What’s the result? A new low-effort and minimal beauty routine that focuses on my skincare, speed, and natural look. It matches perfectly with my personal style that’s inspired by a naturalist feel and helps me feel put together in a flash in the mornings.
