Those of you who like to doll up for no particular reason, can you share a bit of your internal experience when you do it, look at the mirror etc.? (multiverse.soulism.net)

I barely manage to make myself look human for a grocery store trip. I like the aesthetics of certain bracelets or rings I have but I don't really wear them. I like certain makeup looks but without a reason I don't put any on. I'd like to, but the effort to benefit ratio isn't there for me. Unless I'm meeting people I care about, I just do the bare minimum to look like a hygienic person.

Tell me your secrets.

Edit: Sorry, thanks for all your replies. It was a bit harder to read this than I expected.

Every time I go out, I do a little something. If I don't do anything, I feel HORRIBLE the entire time. I really struggle with a negative internal monologue, so having at least one thing I'm proud of or feel cute about helps a lot with that. I really like my eyes, so I just got good at doing a little liner so I can at least like that about me.

Edit: I completely misunderstood the question. At home I don't really doll up, but if I'm gonna be anywhere near a mirror or have anything close to a personal interaction, I'm gonna at least be presentable (in my own eyes, so like light eyeliner and something halfway cute, clothing-wise).
