(the funny thing is that i'm also from an engineering background!!) reading your post really resounded with me, about wearing more out there looks in high school, falling into a blah pit because no one else cares so you've stopped as well, people looking at you strangely if you 'dress up'. it's hard to deviate from conservative when that's the environment you're in but you can still work it on the weekends or when you're going out at night! :) and once you start i hope you'll gain more confidence to do so, because you rock some really cool looks on this site! best of luck x hi, i just stumbled onto your blog earlier by googling “nars fotd” lol. firstly, i have to say i love your makeup looks! then i saw the tab called “personal” and came across this post.

it’s hard to deviate from conservative when that’s the environment you’re in but you can still work it on the weekends or when you’re going out at night! :) and once you start i hope you’ll gain more confidence to do so, because you rock some really cool looks on this site!

best of luck

Interestingly enough, I am in the EXACT same position as you. I'm a graduate student in Materials Science & Engineering and I am IN LOVE with makeup. I buy it all the time, but, like you, I will only wear it MAYBE twice a week. Other than that, I put on a t-shirt, some jeans, sneakers, pull my hair back and I'm off to class/lab. I'm really glad that I've found someone in a similar position too...it doesn't make me feel so alone and left out =] I'm so glad to see another fellow engineer also into makeup.

You are very beautiful! I understand that sometimes, there are days where we don't feel like wearing make up, I too don't wear make up everyday, only when I feel like it which is very rare. eyeliner and lip balm is good enough. I don't also wear bold clothings. I can only wear shirt and jeans and if i'm lucky I'll wear a dress with my heels. I also got tired of wearing diff colors of eyeshadows because I feel like too overdressed. I'm only 22, but I feel so old already as for my friends, they like dressing up and such. Good luck on your goals. I know you can totally reach everything you decide to do. You are stunning! :D aw girl! You are very beautiful!

I was dressing up with confidence, with brightness and courage. As I started getting into more adult life and world throwing just the "downs" on me I became rather safe with clothing, sometimes I miss old me...<br/>It`s so damn hard to be ourselves if we know that world - like at work - expects something totaly different and we know they are going to dicsriminate us just for clothing. I do not know any serious company that allows their workers wear whatever they want in huge, corporate environemtn, etc...<br/><br/><br/>I think you touched very impotant subject in here... ALl the best for you girl !!! Well girl, I must say that I was reading it like I wrote it myself. I was dressing up with confidence, with brightness and courage.
