I enjoy each brush stroke, the colours, the depth; but most of all I enjoy taking five minutes out of my morning, to relax, breathe deeply and focus on me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to turn make up into a mindful art<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Remove as many distractions as possible.<\/strong> Whilst this is not always easy (especially if you have kids running around) try to minimise your distractions i.e put your phone in the kitchen, turn the radio off, flick off the tv. Give yourself some peace and quiet where you can focus on the task at hand.<\/li><li><strong>Think about what you are doing<\/strong>.&nbsp;<br>As you apply your make up, engage all your senses. See what you are applying (are there flecks of glitter?), smell your make up (does it smell like lavender?), feel it as you rub it into your skin (give yourself a mini massage as you rub in your foundation). By focusing on these senses you are stepping away from the outside world and stepping into a world of serenity.<\/li><li><strong>Take your time.<\/strong> If you are short for time, pick one area you are going to focus on and relish in it. If you decide you only have time for lipstick then gently and slowly line the lips with a lip pencil, rub&nbsp;your lips together and&nbsp;feel&nbsp;what the texture is. Choose a lipstick colour that is appealing to your eyes, smear the lipstick over the lips, noticing the movement of the lip as you do so. Apply a dab of gloss, savouring the smell&nbsp;and the sheen it adds to your smile. Rub your lips together enjoying your silky smooth smoochers.<\/li><li><strong>Treat your application as if it was an artwork<\/strong>. Take your time, contour your cheeks and highlight your eyes as if you were a blank canvas. If you want to get creative, experiment with a shade that you haven\u2019t used before or apply your eyeliner in a different manner. If simplicity and minimal makeup products is more your style, take your time massaging your foundation into your complexion with your finger tips then follow with soft, feathery strokes using a foundation brush, blending the colour down your jawline.<\/li><li><strong>Breathe Deeply<\/strong>. Each time you reach for a new product, slow yourself down and take a deep breath in and out. If you do this every time you reach for a new item you will be amazed at how much oxygen has entered your body by the time you are finished, ultimately resulting in a calmer, more mindful you.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Happy \u201cMake Up Meditating\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Vibrantly yours, Sam &amp; Jordi.&nbsp;xx<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Understanding styling and fashion is one thing.
