Loss of interest in my major love because of covid. How does everyone push themselves to keep wearing makeup? Any advice on how I can start loving her again during this pandemic?

I don’t have any advice but I have to say, your makeup is amazing and it would be a shame for more people not to see it.
If you don’t love it anymore, don’t force it but I hope you find your love for it again
I do it because it’s a small bit of normalcy and something that makes me happy. I also have more time to practice.
I find that I still do my makeup because it makes me feel normal…i know a lot beauty you tube I watch they all say I’m not wearing lipstick or not doing blushy looks because of masks but I do not give a @$%!@*
I wear washable masks and if there a little transfer on one side of the mask the I know which side to use 😉
Wearing makeup makes me feel like I’m still trying- I got control – I’m not letting stuff go bad and unused – if it’s true that we wear makeup for ourselves then I guess for me this is the time to do it…but if it’s making you unhappy/stressed take a break let it breath , you posted a very bold beautiful look if it still bring you joy maybe experiment with more airy looks: like the watercolor vibes that are popular go opposite day and see how you feel. I put on my face to sit and job search, stay home and putter around on Reddit while my husband plays No Man Sky …IDGF
Edited: here to add a watercolor eye look with that killer chocker would make such an awesome editorial contrast picture if your experimenting like that
You are so good at it. Maybe you’d enjoy making tutorial for other people? They could be video, step by step pics, or even those drawn kind that are all about showing placement of colors.
I’ve been doing a lot of makeup in quarantine because I like the practice and trying different looks. I’m not as good as you are but it’s fun for me and maybe by the time this freakin pandemic is over I’ll be really good!
I’ve also gotten into skincare as a pandemic hobby. Since I have so much time on my hands I don’t mind researching the products and ingredients. And I don’t mind if my morning and night routine take a long time.
No advice as I’m a complete beginner myself, but I just wanted to say you look amazing!
I actually just got into makeup and skincare during the pandemic. I mean I’ve always had makeup, but only a palette or two. Now I’m expanding my collection and trying new things/colors/techniques.
I don’t know that I have useful advice, but makeup is the main thing that gets me out of bed in the morning. I’m excited to try something new or perfect something standard.
When I find myself losing interest, I just cruise around YouTube or Instagram and something usually inspires. ☺️
What about one of those challenges online where it’s like Day 1: cat-eye, Day 2 beach makeup etc etc. I’m finding sometimes routine sparks my creativity (even though that seems counterintuitive).
