illuminance...with a hint of pink...

When one looks good, then one feels good...or maybe when one feels good, then one looks good.

Either way, both still radiate a sense of euphoria that brings about a different glow to a person's over all bearing.

As a human being, to wake up in the morning and savor the dawn of a new day may be the most rewarding and gratifying moment one could have.  For it is during this time that one can pick up where he left off and continue to pursue towards his goal.  On the other hand, one can make a full on 360 degree turn and start anew.  

In my case, however, to arise at the break of dawn and feel the gentle wind kissing my cheeks and relish the sweet aroma that is, the morning, might just be the start of a wonderful day yet.

 

My first stop is the shower room, lather on some sweet scent of lavender and champagne makes me feel rejuvenated and energized for the day ahead. There is a certain sense of calmness yet comfort that lavender brings about which soothes the senses and clears the mind of the worries I might have had the day before.  The champagne, however, offers me the energy, strength and determination I need to become a go-getter and reach for my dreams.

And of course, after I've prepped myself up...we come to my most favorite part of the day...

Putting on my make up! :)

Applying these delicately constructed colorful palettes on my face is like an aerobic work out that makes me feel jazzed up for the day ahead.  It is also my most savored part of the day since it lets me focus on myself, and myself alone.  The lavish cream foundation feels like a thousand and one facial massages that makes the skin glow and revived.  The eyeshadows present a kaleidoscope of colors for the peepers that may scream sweet and innocent or whisper fierce and bitchy!  The pinch of blush on the cheeks illuminates the face and contours its shape.  While a simple wisp of lipstick exudes the femininity within us...And with a bit of gloss, the perfect weapon has been created. Sweet and Sensual...

These things provides me with a temporary dissociation from reality and lets me expand my skills on color, combination, structure and impact.  Aside from these intricate abilities, it allows me to experiment, have fun and just vogue like a party animal in front of the mirror!  Heck! that's a hell lot of benefits from just a simple make-up routine!

And after the finishing touch, here I am...happy and ready to face the world! :)
