Makeup "addiction"
I know addiction is a serious word and problem, but I'm not sure how else to phrase this...
So I've said this before on here, but I'm a recent cancer survivor. Currently in remission since August.
When I lost my hair, I quickly became obsessed with makeup. I truly felt (and still feel with my short hair) that a part of me was taken away. I'm very feminine, so I felt like my femininity was stripped away. So I turned to makeup to help me look less like a newborn baby penguin.
While my hair has grown to a decent pixie-cut length, I find myself still buying and putting on more and more makeup. It's gotten to the point that I give myself more than an hour a day to do it, and I can't leave my dorm room without it on. I've also spent about $150 in the last month on new products.
Now, I love makeup. It's a hobby. And I'm glad I can afford to buy something stuff. But I'm also afraid of this new insecurity. With my long hair, I still wore makeup, but a lot less, and not every day. But now, I can't seem to find the confidence to not put it on. I find myself constantly criticizing the freckles that came from the chemo, or the fact that my eyebrow hair still hasn't grown the same... And idk what to do.
If anybody has any advice or help, please comment. I know in my heart that I'm confident and awesome (as egotistical as that sounds), but my head doesn't seem to get it...
