I walked previous Emily’s bed room the opposite day and overheard her doing one thing in her rest room. I glanced by her door and noticed her making use of sequin stickers to her face, totally having fun with the outcomes of her creativity!
I snapped this image and was reminded how typically my children, together with my boys, see me sitting in entrance of my make-up vainness or standing in entrance of my full-length mirror. I inform my children that a part of my job is educating different folks how you can do sure issues with their hair and make-up and exhibiting outfits to offer purchasing or styling suggestions. And I feel, on the very least, the boys get it. I truthfully don’t assume Emily provides a lot thought to my job in any respect!
So in gentle of the main focus of my work being on demonstrating these items on myself, I acknowledge that it entails a substantial amount of mirror time. And mirror time the place I’m the only real focus. It’s in contrast to working within the salon behind the chair as a result of the main focus is on the shopper! On this job, the main focus, I hope, is on the ultimate consequence that I’m making an attempt to show.
When Emily comes into my room as I’m doing my make-up, she typically asks for slightly little bit of blush or pink added to her lips. And I’m all the time pleased to indulge her on this small request, however I be sure to make use of sure wording round it.
“Oh, you need to look slightly fancier at the moment?!”
“Would you like your cheeks to have some sparkle since you need to look fancy?”
I exploit the phrase fancy to emphasise that it’s one thing particular, one thing slightly ornamental, and it’s completely okay to need to do this occasionally! However I attempt to not use the phrase fairly in these situations as a result of I don’t need her to tie the will for make-up with the tip consequence as being “fairly”.
She’s fairly with out make-up. She’s stunning with out make-up! She’s fancy when she wears slightly little bit of blush or lipgloss although!
There are such a lot of extra layers to displaying the messaging behind this to a daughter, and whereas I’m positive it will get extra difficult as she will get older, I hope I’ve achieved a ok job of placing make-up and sweetness in the appropriate class for her at this age.
