Beauty Routine Shouldn't be Boring

Ela·
Beauty and makeup routines to try out

You might spend your week days with minimal makeup and you try hard not to take so much attention, but the weekend is here, so do you have any excuse for not going outside your comfort zone and do the things you can’t do at other times. This weekend might be a perfect time for taking action to change your beauty routine.

Most of us probably have the same beauty routine almost every day. Getting used to stuff and not wanting change are all about being safe. But don’t you think that the same old routine gets boring after a while? Beauty routines shouldn’t be boring, they should be just fun. Why don't you do some of these things to change your beauty routine? Maybe after trying them a few times you can actually feel confident to do them all the time.

Freshen up Your Beauty Routine

Go Bold with your Lips

How often can you wear bold lips at work or when you’re having a casual day outside? What’s stopping you from doing that? Trying new things might be scary, especially if they are out of your comfort zone, however, you never know how much you would like or hate it if you don't give it a try. Bold lipsticks aren't monsters, but our friends. So for a change, go outside today wearing bold lipstick. Once you beat that fear, you will be confident to wear bold lips whenever you want without thinking what others might think about your lipstick choice.

Wear Falsies

If you’re like me, you probably stay away from falsies. Not only because they are not so easy to apply, but also having those thick fluffy lashes can be annoying at times. On the other hand, I like how they look on me or others. Whenever I do something I am not used to, I feel like people are staring at me. I guess it is just my imagination, right? You don’t need to wait for a special occasion to wear falsies; you do it whenever you feel like doing it. The way your eye would look after applying false lashes will be flattering.

Try Different Colours

Neutrals and nudes are safe choices, but there are so many different colours to choose from. Why do we only stick to the ones we keep using? Earth tones might be a great eyeshadow pick for brown eyes, but how about wearing blues, pinks or even neon? Having a few edgy shades is not the end of the world, it is all about self-confidence. At first, you can start using the colours you aren't confident wearing under your eyes and then who knows what you might come up with next.

Try Something Different

Strobing, contouring, dramatic eyeliners, smoky makeup… aren’t they your thing? At first, I was so sure that I wouldn’t even be into strobing, because I thought “it is not my type of makeup”, but the more I tried, the more I liked it. So never make a decision about something you’ve never tried before. I am not a pro in any of these, but there are so many YouTube videos online, so you can always try to copy them to get better at the things you’ve never tried.

Beauty routines shouldn’t be boring, so why don’t we make things different this time and try something you’re not comfortable this weekend in your beauty routine.

What are the things you are not comfortable doing in terms of makeup? What would you like to add to your beauty routine?

Yep, true! Sometimes, I wear false lashes and wear bolder lipstick shade. It sooo fun cos that's actually not me in a daily routine. Xoxo, Jhem | <a href="http://jhemsays.com" rel="nofollow">JhemSays.com</a>

I feel this on a really high level. Honestly. I feel like makeup should be fun and should be interesting and should be something we experiment with. Personally, I like to try new products and I absolutely love to go with bold lipsticks. Especially red. <a href="http://www.ellapinto.com" rel="nofollow">Ella Pinto</a>

Totally agree! I change my eye shadow and lipstick colours almost daily :D sometimes I get more into a routine, which lasts for like a week haha. But I really just want to make sure I'm using at least most of my makeup products :) what I do often go for thougj are nude lips, just in different shades. I'd love to rock a bold lip but on most days they just seem too much. Loved this post sweetie <3 Emma xxx www.wellemma.com

Ela BellaWorld1 Feb 2016

I am quite boring and I hardly change anything, hopefully I will manage to change it :) trying different eye makeup and lip colour everyday is actually good, I should do that too. I couldn't find a nude that looks good on me so I much prefer wearing bold lips:) Have a great week, lovely <3 xx

Loved this Ela, it made me think about how I do the same things most of the time lol! I never wear a bold lip, just because I've haven't really got into them. But I definitely want to start wearing more false lashes. I always feel like they really bring my make-up look together once I've finished. - www.veebzboo.com - www.youtube.com/veebzboo - Fashion Haul - ZARA

Wearing falsies is the one thing I don't do from your list. And highlighter, probably, because I really don't like the look on my face.

I am really bad at changing my routine. It gets boring, but I don't do much about it. Hopefully February will be a month where I will change that. In terms of wearing false lashes, I am still not good at it.

I think I'm pretty experimental when it comes to makeup and I rarely wear the same exact look two days in a row. The one thing I've only done very few times is applying falsies because it's so much work... I want to get better at appying them though, so I definitely should try to wear them more often! http://carolinapage.eu

Ela BellaWorld1 Feb 2016

I wish I was like you. I hardly change my makeup even though I get bored of my makeup. It is something I really want to change this month. If applying eye lashes wasn't that hard, I would definitely be wearing them more often.

I must admit I do get very much into a routine with make up, bold eyes, contoured and nude lip. I really struggle with going for a bold lip.... I should just do it on occasion! i become so obsessed with them september-november, but any other months you'll find me being boring. Think I may go for one tomorrow, I can do it!

I'll admit, my beauty routine is pretty boring, haha. I tend to stick to the same sort of makeup everyday for work, since I'm always in a rush and don't have time to really experiment! <3 I do go a little bolder on the weekends, though... But I still tend to stick to the same sort of shades! x I'd love to try out strobing, but I'm afraid I'll mess it up haha. I'm useless when it comes to contouring, although strobing seems a little easier. x Thanks for sharing another fab post, darling! Sending lots of love your way. <3 Kay http://shoesandglitter.com

EB
Ela BellaWorld1 Feb 2016

I am exactly the same, I am always in a rush and I hardly have time for applying mascara and lipstick. I would like to experiment more, and use different colours. Contouring is definitely harder than strobing. Sending you lots of love sweetheart <3 xx

I couldn't agree more! During the week due to lack of time my makeup is quick and easy, although I may throw in a bold lipstick if I'm feeling like it :) But during the weekend I love to experiment with different looks, colours, is one of my favourite times, just to sit in front of the mirror and play with all the makeup I've accumulated :) x <a href="http://mummysbeautycorner.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">Mummy’s Beauty Corner </a>

My makeup routine is pretty boring to be honest. I can't apply eye shadow even if my life depended on it, therefore I never use it.

I wasn't going out with bold lips until recently, and last week one of my colleague said "you're wearing dark lippie, maybe you shouldn't do that"... this is the downside of working with 20 men in an office. I should practice more on lashes, I am still not good at applying them :) x

Oh man, bold lips are my best friend. My "frenemy" would be nudes, I have so many that are disappointing! I tried falsies for the first time on Halloween when I was a clown, and I liked how they looked on me but I guess I didn't glue them on right or overglued them and they kept falling off. I'll keep giving them a try though! Hannah http://floraful.blogspot.com

I had to look up the word "strobing" - I didn't know that that is the new trend :) I'd love to give it a try, as well as wearing falsies (I've never tried them and they scare me somehow but maybe I should take the plunge sometime!). Great tips! Bold Bliss http://boldblissblog.com

Such great suggestions for switching up an everyday look! It can be so easy to fall into a routine when it comes to makeup because often times, we want a look that's quick and easy. We seem to always equate quick and easy with neutrals, but a bold lip can be just as fast and have a great impact. Thanks for sharing these great suggestions again and I hope you're having a wonderful day! XO, Jalisa www.thestylecontour.com

My everyday makeup was a full face of makeup every day but I switched it up the past two weeks ago by wearing very minimal makeup. I haven't been wearing any base products except concealer and my eye makeup is just the eyebrows done, eye liner, mascara and finally a lipstick. I never thought I would like wearing that minimal makeup but my skin is loving it. Shireen | <a href="http://reflectionofsanity.com" rel="nofollow">Reflection of Sanity </a>

Thanks for the wonderful tips! Trying out different makeup looks during weekend is a great idea! That way you can practice without rushing. I always try to follow a routine of trying out one of my favorite makeup artist's look on YouTube during weekends. Anyway, I just recently tried wearing false eyelashes and I love how it gives an instant boost to my looks. - Gretch of <a href="http://ggmemochou.tumblr.com/" rel="nofollow"> GG Memochou </a>

You make such a good point, I think i've definitely fallen into too much of a routine right now with barely-there makeup; I'm ready to start using those bright and beautiful Spring colours - especially on the lips!

Much agreed hun, makeup is so much fun and I love experimenting with it! I have only recently started wearing falsies, I used to stay away from them as I thought that they wouldn't be good for me, being a contact lenses wearer. However, they're totally fine, comfortable and make such a difference! No mascara can achieve what falsies can, it's amazing! Thanks for sharing, hun. :) xoxo Kay http://shoesandglitter.com

I agree, it's important to mix things up! Totally with you on the bold lips and false eyelashes, a go too whenever i go out.

I definitely agree, when I hear sometimes women who say they have done the same exact look every day for 10 years, I'm like, how are you not bored to death?!
