Loved this, “It says: I’m not here to trick you into thinking I look this way by accident, I deigned enough to try.”

I live in Paris , which is known for “effortless” beauty.

I don’t care if I “look American” with eyeliner and blush. I cared enough to try. 🤷🏻‍♀️🇺🇸

Right! Plus I’m learning that we all look good in different levels of effort: my ideal is a tan, some mascara, and highlighter. It seems like not much but without the tan, it just doesn’t work. We just all commit our time differently.
