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.

I'm finally at a place in my life where I like how I look and I enjoy the expression that an outfit + makeup affords me. Plus I get compliments from other queers! I generally dress pretty alt so I have a lot of options regarding shades of lipstick and looks for my eyes.

I don't do this every day but if I'm going further than walking distance from my house and I've got the energy (which is pretty often) I will.
