In this post, I'm going to cover my personal magical associations with facial cosmetics, nail polish, and perfume. If you wear cosmetics, this is a simple way to introduce and include magic into your daily routine.
Foundation
Think "invisible ink!" Have a goal you'd like to focus on for the day? Write it on your face using your foundation, and then rub it in. For example, write "successful interview" if you have an interview that day. You could write "listen" below your lips if it's important to listen, rather than talk for the day. Write "glamour" under your eyes if you're trying to impress someone.
CHEEKS
Blush generally comes in three categories: cool, neutral, and warm. Need to stay calm for the day? Use a cool shade. Participating in an activity that you're deeply passionate about? Use a warm shade. Wear a neutral shade when you want to put on your best poker face.
EYES
The eyes have the personality. If you need to look bold for the day, use dark colors, bold mascara, and dark eyeliner. If your desire is to be charming or friendly, you might want to try pastels and light mascara. Bright and creative, try using bright colors, such as aqua, yellow, and lime green.
LIPS
The lips are an accent to the eyes. If you want someone to focus on what you're saying, try using a bright shade of red. Need to flow through your day? Use a light shade of pink. To stay grounded, use neutral or clear lip balm.
NAILS
The wonderful thing about painting your nails is that there are so many possibilities! Paint sigils in your first coat of polish, or in your clear top coat. Paint animals or objects as designs on your nails. Cat eyes to stay quick and on your feet about a situation, pumpkins for protection, candy to sweeten others to you, the moon to appear mysterious. If fancy nail art isn't your thing, you can just use color magic.
Common colors and a few of my associations:
"Red - "passion, lust, sexuality, warmth, fiery, strong foundation, danger
"Orange" - energy, excitement, full of nutrients
"Yellow" - happiness, ideas, creativity, sour
"Green" - growth, healing, earth, money, luck
"Blue "- calmness, subconscious, emotions, communication, water
"Purple" - psychic energy, power, meditation
"Pink" - love, romance, flirtation, harmony
"Grey" - stormy skies, shadows
"Brown" - neutral, grounding, stability, dirt
"Black" - power, absorbing, hidden
"White" - power, reflecting
PERFUME
Perfume associations can come just from the name of the perfume itself. A perfume called Island Breeze might be associated with relaxation and vacation. One called Royal might be associated with royalty and being unstoppable. I enjoy natural scents, like lavender, which has calming effects, and patchouli, which promotes love and money.
