I don't think we should be trying to look different, we should be trying to enhance some of our features.
When I had first created content on TikTok, there wasn't a large representation of Black women or women of color on the platform. But it was still one of the social media platforms where I had seen a lot of representation, in general.
But they believed in me and they told me that I had one year to make a living off of being a social media personality, and if it didn't work out, I had to go back to college. I was relieved that I had a chance to follow my dreams.Months after creating content online, people had begun asking me about my makeup routine. The more that I answered their questions about my style, my hair, and my makeup, the more my following grew. Putting myself out there allowed my confidence to grow.
Even now, I encourage people to work with and embrace their natural hair. If you see a trend on social media that makes you want to change something unique about yourself, I'd tell you to ask yourself why. I felt insecure during school and it would frustrate me because I had felt uncomfortable in my own skin all day. But my friends told me that they did not notice a difference in my face from when I had shaded my eyebrows. So, a big part of my makeup journey involved me embracing my features, rather than trying to change them.
I always encourage the people around me to not follow up-and-coming makeup trends. For example, if they have big, beautiful eyes, I often advise them to not wear a lot of thick, fake eyelashes as it may make their eyes look smaller, which then hides such a unique feature of theirs.
