It's unnecessary, I agree. I think you probably cheered at the same time as me though and remember how much worse it used to be. I had a silver lid lined with red glitter (complete with a wing) and 3 rhinestones that came out from the corner of my eye. Add the red glitter lip and I was drag queen overdone. At least THAT isn't the normal cheer face anymore.
My point was that when a cheerleader or even a basketball of volleyball player wears makeup and does their hair for practice it is visible as compared to the female hockey players I had that did all that work just to put a helmet on so nothing was seen.
I think that allstar is slowly transitioning toward the look you described. Thank The Lord. I rarely see teams with the eye glue and glitter look anymore. When i do I kind of side eye them bc this isn't 2008. A lot of teams are doing a smokey eye (Cali, top gun) which is a relief... But other teams are somewhere in the middle with smokey eyes in a bright color (cough cough rain athletics aqua). Though now we have this "let's put a streak of glitter next to our eye" look that's becoming popular and overdone. Like they tone down the eyes to a shimmery smokey eye but then put the glitter to "highlight" and it looks ridiculous. The first few who did it knew how to do it right, it wasn't obnoxious, but now everyone is doing it and it looks silly.
Oh no! Hope you're okay, ice cream and netflix is always a good solution! If there was a heart smiley, I'd put one right here.
I wear makeup to the gym but it's everyday makeup, not comp makeup. If it's a Saturday morning practice there's a good chance I won't wear it (actually I'll put on bottom eyeliner and that's it) but during the week I already have it on from school so I just leave it. That's what most of the girls at my gym do (obviously not the 10 year olds, but the high schoolers). All I really wear on a daily basis is eyeliner, foundation, blush, and mascara when I remember. I suck at eyeshadow so I only wear it for comps.
She's adorable! I hope she becomes a make-up artist because my eyeliner did not look that good at 13! Love that she wants to wear red lipstick daily, I'm obsessed with lipstick. Remove the lipstick and it's exactly how I used to do my make up everyday, but after working at Abercrombie and not being able to wear eyeliner, I realized that I actually don't look as much as an alien w/o eyeliner as I thought. So because of that my daily is just mascara and blush hahaha.My 13 year old is make-up obsessed and can apply make-up beautifully. Her dream is to become a make up artist. Anyway, she/I get so many side-eyes whenever we are out and sometimes from relatives. She looks young for her age, but still. I don't see the big deal. Barely related to the convo, I know. ;) She doesn't wear make-up to the gym, but we have a local gym that requires it. *shrug* I'd be bothered by the expense, to be honest.
Here she is in what she considers a daily face...
