Mask purchased by me and makeup PR gifted*
Before I went back to work, I would wear a mask to go grocery shopping, but I would still feel self-conscious about what others would think of me even in freakin' Phase 1 of the COVID-19 pandemic. I know I shouldn't even care as it comes down to just being a good citizen of humanity and taking responsibility for slowing the spread of a disease that has managed to ravage the globe in just one month. It's THAT contagious. For those who say this isn't a real disease or "do you know anyone who has actually had it?" - really?! I actually know a few people who have had it and survived with very few consequences and it's QUITE real so wear a face mask and stay 2m apart!
As I had hoped, wearing a mask for work has helped me feel much more comfortable wearing them in general so other than home and being in my car, I wear a mask everywhere. Now, I have SO MANY fabric ones that it's time I start matching my eye makeup to them and have a bit of fun since my peepers are all people are going to see so bring on the smoky eyes! For today's look, I decided to match one of my favourite face masks - the Vancouver Aquarium x Whitecaps collaboration. These masks were pretty expensive at $20 each, but they have a liner on the inside to insert a filter and the fit is secure. The ear loops aren't too tight and the mask stays perfectly on my nose without budging.

Do you still feel a bit awkward wearing a mask? I find it so hard to recognize people now so I am relying heavily on hair and body language! If you are feeling uncomfortable wearing a mask, I guarantee that wearing it more and "practicing" will make it so much better. I am starting to see most people without masks on transit and shopping which I am shocked by as we are not out of the woods yet, but I think I am about 95% on my way to not giving a flying f*** about how people perceive me!
