In a certain exclusive group for copywriters, a conversation came up about makeup and self-care.

Turns out, some of the most brilliant minds in the copywriting biz are doing their work in yoga pants and nothing-but-moisturizer today. Beautiful picture, right?

It’s here that I let slip that I have “levels” of makeup for every occasion.

It caused… a commotion.

It honestly surprised me. Didn’t everyone rank their makeup routines? Didn’t everyone add and subtract different parts of their routine depending on the occasion?

Of course people do. They just don’t put it into tiers like my crazy a*s.

So here it is, for your consideration: The 5 Levels. May they cause curiosity and conversation.

Also: If you think makeup-wearers go all out for every occasion, you’re crazy. You are hopelessly crazy and Heaven forbid you ever run an HR department.

Level 1: Dungeons & Dragons.

This level is titled thus because it’s tied to a particular life lesson: You have to dress for the occasion and the audience, not necessarily for your own comfort levels.
