Truth!
I felt different. I felt beautiful. I felt good when I saw the mirror after the make up was done.
I was sorry for the MUA (makeup artist) when my eyes wouldn't stop getting teary as soon as she touches them. The lashes felt like a heavy load placed on my real lash as I kept blinking each time she tried to clip the lash in place. It was my first time having a full make over done and I was almost going to say, "Aunty abeg remove this thing o biko!" But a part of me wanted to have a feel of what the whole thing looks like. So, I kept enduring and apologising for my almost uncontrollable teary eyes, as she kept wiping and waiting but she was soooo patient and professional!
Anyways, it did what I intended for it at the party. Just that I felt bad each time I stained someone's Agbada or Buba after a side hug. The ladies on the other hand I think have learnt the art of air kissing so good or rather the 'clay' on our faces just blends without much ado. Lol!
To the real thing...
I got home late after the waka waka and wahala of a party caterer especially at an Ijebu party (you know how we roll nah...plenty food everywhere and plenty plates search too in the mind of a caterer!)
So, my feet weren't gorgeous in the over sized slippers I had worn on my beautiful dress but my face was still as glamorous as it was 7hrs earlier!

I took a closer look at the mirror and admired my face. Smiling and sarcastically thinking in my head if I could sleep with it and go to church the following day with it! Smh!!!
So, I took out my wipes and cleaned a part of the face when something struck my heart. Now, that thing inspired this paparazi writing.
As I took off the make up on one side of my face and left the other, it felt like welcome back to the real world. Like welcome to reality girl. That was good, but this is your real face!
Lessons learnt:
1. Love, Pamper and Embrace your real self.
2. You can hide behind a mask to others but the truth is you can't deceive yourself. What happens to you, your mind when the mask is off and you are alone?
3. Beauty is addictive. Infact, everything can be addictive if you can't control it!
4. It's great to look good and pretty outwardly but inner beauty is priceless.
5. Stay true to you. Don't be someone else. Do what makes you happy and YOU.
6. Love and value YOU for who you are and growing to becoming and do not define your self worth by the 'makeup', shoes and clothes you have on!

Anyways, I finally took them all off and had a cold shower and slept!
Have a productive week ahead.
