When it’s hard to find the motivation to get out of bed, putting on an experimental and fun makeup look can be a mood booster.
. Even offline, my addiction is apparent; my sisters jokingly nicknamed my bedroom closet “Sephora” considering the wealth of goodies and gadgets I’d stockpiled over the years. But despite being unable to resist a new makeup purchase, my actual routine has always been relatively low-key. I can’t pull off the effortless perfection of the no-makeup look preferred by several of my colleagues, but when I get dolled up, it is never over the top.
As someone who frankly does not fit into a lot of designer clothing, makeup has always been my primary form of fashion expression. I can be wearing a black T-shirt and jeans, but if I’ve got aor Norvina palette at my disposal I can fill my world with color and magic. Previously, I’d attempted to keep things subtle during work hours, but ever since virtual meetings became the new normal, I’ve thrown caution to the wind.
At first, I was motivated by the anxiety that comes with having to open up on video chat. It took me four years of having an Instagram to post my first selfie, so the idea of continually being visible on the internet required an adjustment on my part. Zoom makes me wish I could redecorate my entire space and hire a Roger Deakins–level cinematographer to camp out in my apartment with me. The video renders everyone flat, grayish, and overexposed.

The Best South Korean Beauty Lip Tints Perfect For InstagramTint Type: stain\r\nShades Available: 5\r\nWear: all day, baby\r\nYes, Chateau Labiotte is a Korean makeup brand moonlighting as a fake French winery. And yes, the result is the cutest makeup vessel I\u2019ve ever seen\u2014a bizarrely lifelike wine bottle for ants. But this is also the perfect lip tint. This tint looks and lasts like a traditional stain, but doesn\u2019t have that bitter taste or drying, astringent feel typical in other products. It\u2019s also easy to apply: the sheer formula takes its time to dry down, so you can blend outwards for a popsicle look or fix any spots out of bounds. (You can even dab the doe-foot applicator along your cheeks for a flush that lasts.) It didn\u2019t grab on to my dry spots in a gross looking way. And, OK, have you seen the packaging?! The shade Merlot Burgundy RD03, a translucent stunner somewhere between plum and brick, is the one to grab.
