7:30AM<\/strong><\/h1>\r\n

The alarm rings twice before I hit snooze. If I were a more motivated (or simply a sophisticated,\u00a0well-developed<\/em>\u00a0human), I\u2019d nearly be done with an at-home workout or sun salutation by now\u2014but I\u2019m not.\u00a0Fifteen more minutes<\/em>.<\/p>\r\n

I pull the covers over my head.<\/p>\r\n

7:45AM<\/strong><\/h1>\r\n

Turns out 15 minutes feels more like five. I drag myself out of the cocoon and instinctively\u2014still with my eyes half shut\u2014make the bed. A hint of\u00a0Silky Underwear<\/u><\/a>\u00a0<\/em>lingers between the sheets and I have to force myself not to slip back in. Instead, I sprinkle more of the dusting powder before replacing the duvet. Straighten, fluff, smooth<\/em>; a choreographed act that ends only when my Kiki de Montparnasse pillows are propped at attention, \u201cSleep\u201d side up.<\/p>\r\n

7:48AM<\/strong><\/h1>\r\n

One of the perks of being a night shower-er is having the luxury to sleep in. Sleeping in as an insomniac, however, means I tend to take liberties (read: sleep in late<\/em>)\u2014making it imperative that I keep my routine under 20.<\/p>\r\n

Non-negotiable is tongue-scraping, borrowed from Ayurvedic self-care practices. I\u2019m not sure how I lived before owning a tongue cleaner\u2014nor can I offer rationale behind its benefits\u2014but I\u2019m left with an inexplicable sense of physical and mental clarity once my palate is cleansed. I check my phone, sipping on hot lemon water while flicking between the weather app, Whatsapp (to check for or answer my boyfriend\u2019s \u201cgood morning text\u201d), and Instagram.<\/p>\r\n

Hair depends on a few factors: time left, humidity, and its current working state. If on a good day my waves look more intentional than I-just-woke-up<\/em>, I\u2019ll liberally mist with Ouai Wave Spray<\/u><\/a> first, then set with Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray<\/u><\/a> to ensure hold throughout my 15-hour day. Everything is piled on top my head\u2014secured with a giant claw clip\u2014to maximize volume.<\/p>\r\n

A hopeless situation (like today) begs for Tancho Lavender Pomade<\/u><\/a>, which I Prime\u2019d immediately after spotting it at a shoot on set.\u00a0 g\u00f6t2b Glued<\/u><\/a> used to be the only thing that could hold down these baby hairs, but it was always a little extreme for day; now Tancho is all I use for sleek topknots or high ponies. I finish the remaining water\u2014still steaming\u2014to rest my arms in between bobby-pinning.<\/p>\r\n

Time is of the essence. I can live with a scalded tongue.<\/p>\r\n

Since I hate getting my tiny bathroom countertop wet, I skip my morning face wash and instead, start with toner. I\u2019m non-committal and will rotate between different formulas depending on my mood; all I need is a clean, fresh base. My skin craves deeper hydration now that it\u2019s fall, so to counter the dryness without causing greasy shine (I\u2019m combination-oily), I cocktail my own face cream. In the palm of my hand, I mix a smaller-than-pea-sized squeeze of Weleda Skin Food<\/u><\/a> and add two pumps CosRx BHA Blackhead Powder Liquid<\/u><\/a> to thin out the cream. If I had more time I\u2019d let it sink in\u2014but because patience is a virtue I was born without, I wait all but 20 seconds before massaging a thin layer of Image Skincare Prevention Daily Matte Moisturizer SPF 32<\/u><\/a> on top. Excess sunscreen is applied to the backs of my hands, always.<\/p>\r\n

7:52AM<\/h1>\r\n

I\u2019m good on time! My day-to-day consists of mascara and blonzer<\/a> (a term coined by ex-beauty editor Cat Marnell that refers to a blush-bronzer hybrid), but because I have a meeting today, I\u2019m going for a fuller face of makeup.<\/p>\r\n

Brows are first. I never touched them until I needed something to distract from my swollen, bloody eyes post-Lasik, and now four months later, I\u2019ve grown appreciative of how it can lift your complexion. Natural definition is the aim: with a light hand, I outline with ABH Brow Wiz<\/u><\/a> (Dark Brown<\/em>), blend the pencil with a spoolie, then fill in the center using Glossier Boy Brow<\/u><\/a> (Black<\/em>).<\/p>\r\n

7:54AM<\/strong><\/h1>\r\n

Since buying my first RMS Eye Polish, I\u2019ve fully converted to using multi-purpose cream products for my entire face. There\u2019s something about using your fingers to apply everything that I find both artistic and intimate, and this part of the routine has become meditative for me. Milk Makeup Matte Bronzer in Baked<\/em><\/u><\/a> is perfect in both formulation and finish, so I apply the stick across my cheeks\u2014just under the highest point\u2014and across my nose to emulate a sun-kissed look. Blending can be messy, luckily; it\u2019s forgiving.<\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Blush is mix of Cloud Paints<\/u><\/a>. Two parts Dusk<\/em>, one part Dawn<\/em> creates a tawny coral that goes on my cheeks. Never on the apples, though, but right above the hollows to give the illusion of a more sculpted face without traditional contouring. With my ring finger, I tap RMS Lunar<\/em> Cream Eye Polish<\/u><\/a> just above my cheekbones and down the bridge of my nose. (Everyone raves about Living\u00a0Luminizer<\/em><\/a>, but Lunar <\/em>flies under the radar. Though meant for the eyes, it\u2019s beautiful as a highlighter.)<\/p>\r\n

I peer into the mirror to assess the shine. My face is in need of a little more bronze and glow, so I tap another RMS eyeshadow<\/u><\/a>\u2014this time in Lucky<\/em>, a creamy copper\u2014as a transition shade between the matte bronzer and champagne highlight.<\/p>\r\n

Eyes are simple. Normally, I don\u2019t mind the slight pinkish cast\u2014but because they\u2019re looking a little vein-ier than I\u2019d like (I was up until 3AM. binge-reading Journey to Ixtlan<\/em>), ABH Honey <\/em>Waterproof Cr\u00e8me Color<\/u><\/a> helps conceal and brighten. Just this product alone makes a world of a difference. Not only is it the perfect shade with golden-peach undertones, but its dry consistency means it won\u2019t budge on my oily eyelids.<\/p>\r\n

8:09AM<\/strong><\/h1>\r\n

Ah, the step de resistance<\/em>: curling my lashes. A quick pump or two using Shiseido Eyelash Curler<\/u><\/a> gives an instant illusion of length, and when followed with Glossier Lash Slick<\/u><\/a>, I\u2019m asked where I get my lash extensions done\u2014not <\/em>what mascara I\u2019m using.<\/p>\r\n

And at last, the finishing touch! A generous coat of La Mer The Lip Balm<\/u><\/a> to revive and nourish.<\/p>\r\n

8:11AM<\/h1>\r\n

I can\u2019t figure out what to wear.<\/p>\r\n

Even if I did plan an outfit the night before, it would be in vain. I\u2019m emotional; everything depends on my mood in a particular moment, which is some combination of how I feel and how I want to be perceived that day. As a woman and POC, clothing is a means of regaining some semblance of control over how others see me. Even as a kid I was subconsciously aware of first impressions and what mine came with. At five, it was only the shape of my eyes that I had to deal with; once I turned 15, it became about the shape of my hips, too.<\/p>\r\n

Being hypersensitive so young meant I had to develop armor early on. Skincare and makeup is how I\u2019ve learned to embrace what I can\u2019t erase or hide. Clothing is how I rewrite the narrative. The golden in my skin is mine, but it\u2019s not their<\/em> version of me. I refuse to be prescribed.<\/p>\r\n

I\u2019m more than just the single fold of my lids and the slight slant of my eyes.<\/p>\r\n

8:17AM<\/strong><\/h1>\r\n

Still can\u2019t decide on an outfit. So, accessories first it is (if just because I wear the same things every day). Large, thin hoops and The Last Line huggie<\/a>s<\/u>, always. I clasp my silver nameplate\u2014of my Chinese name\u2014around my neck.<\/p>\r\n

Perhaps I\u2019ll be inspired if I pick out the day\u2019s lingerie\u2026? I open a drawer and reach for the first thing I see: an Agent Provocateur set in black leopard lace.<\/p>\r\n

Progress! I\u2019m halfway there.<\/p>\r\n

8:22AM<\/h1>\r\n

After much deliberation (punctuated by pacing back and forth between closets, pausing only to dab Kuumba Persian Garden<\/u><\/a> on my wrists and the nape of my neck), I settle on a twill The Line by K dress<\/u><\/a> with contrast stitching.<\/p>\r\n

Why I own anything else is beyond me. I could be perfectly happy with a wardrobe of just TLK pieces.<\/p>\r\n

8:30AM<\/strong><\/h1>\r\n

Minnetonkas<\/a> on, black knee-high boots in hand, and I\u2019m out the door. Granted, it looks silly for now but I\u2019m a practical girl.<\/p>\r\n

Heels are made for walking, not driving.<\/p>\r\n

.\u00a0 \u00a0.\u00a0 \u00a0.<\/p>\r\n
