Hello blog!
In a previous blog I wrote a draft for my feature story. That was the basis of what I wanted the article look like. I turned it and my teacher made some corrections. So here’s the finalize story!
On a day like no other a little girl walks into her parents' room. She knows where she's going, straight for her mother's makeup. She grabs some blush and puts it on her face. Her mom approaches, scolding her as she sees her daughter's face. The little girl was fascinated with makeup, she couldn't stay away from it. At the time she thought she was just curious, but now she realizes how it is a big part of her life. Helen Jurado has recently turned 18 and is ready to learn from the world of makeup.
Jurado has always been her own person, she said “I love to try new things in the comfort of my own home so there is not a specific audience I am looking for.” She describes her philosophy with beauty. “I just think women are just powerful beings like we can do anything” she said. “I am glad that girls are not ashamed to be girly girls or to be tomgirls.” For Jurado, it is all about enjoying life and doing what feels right. She describes herself as intelligent, skillful and assertive. No one can stop her from being herself, to Jurado “You get to only live once and you have to get the most out of it.”
Being alone in her room is comforting and this is where she can really get into one of her favorite hobbies, makeup. Like anything, things can be difficult to learn, Jurado said “when I first began I did not know how to use the right brushes or knew the name of anything.” But this did not stop her from continuing one of her many passions. “Over the years, especially during Covid I had time to improve, and I have definitely come a long way.” She recalled. Now that she can look back, she can identify mistakes she made but also instances when she fell in love with makeup all over again. “To me the best looks are the ones you barely try for” she said while talking about her favorite looks.
Jurado has come a long way and has tips for anyone starting their makeup journey. Helen recommends using Korean skincare, in her words “I think they are absolutely amazing.” But she does advise beginning with regular products as skin must get used to the new routine. Through her journey, Helen has learned from Vogue Beauty Secrets. To her, one can never go wrong with “some blush, highlighter and eyeshadow and lip tint.” This is what she usually uses when at home. Obviously, Helen has different makeup looks for everything and never uses the same look twice. “I am always trying different products so I cannot possibly do the same thing twice.” She stated.
Someone as lively as her has many hobbies like horse riding and traveling. “Horses are one of my favorite animals, possibly the only animals I love as much as anything.” She feels very passionate about this hobby and so it is important to her. Besides this she also enjoys traveling. “I think since I am homeschooled, I have time for more travel…” and even when traveling she tries to incorporate her hobbies.
She loves to be outside with the sun and sky, it helps her reset. “I’m ready to be out there in the world and experience life.” Although she is a little afraid, she is ready to face anything head on.
