Hello there!!

Gist o’clock.

I had a photoshoot today and as a result I had a full blown facebeat. And let me tell you, I was deeply intrigued by the whole process.

What really stood out to me was how the makeup artist literally turned my face into something that looked like it belonged in a horror movie at first. I’m not even exaggerating. The layers were plenty, the colors were loud. At some point I was just sitting there thinking, “Ma, where exactly are we going with this?”

It looked chaotic, like too much 

But I kept quiet and watched.

And then, somewhere between the final blend and the setting spray, magic happened. Everything came together. The same layers that looked confusing suddenly made sense. The same colors that felt excessive started complementing each other. 

That was when it hit me.

Sometimes the process looks messy. Sometimes it feels like too much is happening at once. Too many layers. Too many pressures. Too many things you cannot explain. It may even look like things are getting worse before they get better.

But those layers are essential.

If it is going to come out right, it needs structure. It needs foundation. It needs depth. You cannot skip steps and still expect a flawless finish.

Dearest reader, maybe when things get real messy, they are just aligning themselves to come out breathtaking. Maybe the confusion is part of the creation. Maybe the weight is building your structure. Calm down. Pause. Trust the process. Watch how God turns chaos into beauty in His own time.

Ps: I had a great day, I hope you did too.

Ciao.
