Create Magickal Makeup to Enchant Your Day With Color!

 

   Hey guys, and Merry meet! I thought that today I would step out of my comfort zone at the urging of my oracle cards, and try a little something new here. I wanted to sort of smash the two JNJ worlds together and merge them into something, just for today. May or may not be a constant thing. But, I thought today I would talk about color correspondences and how you can use them to manifest your intent throughout your day with your makeup!

    Anyone can do this, even my brothers and sisters in the broom closet. You guys may not know this, but a lot of what I do is based off of color correspondences. Any of my spell work that has a physical component of any sort has all of the correspondences accounted for. My embroideries, my crochet projects, the jewelry I make on occasion… I’ve figured out how best to use the colors to help me achieve whatever it is I’m after.

   You really can’t tell, because I haven’t done anything (anything) with makeup in a while, but I do still quite enjoy doing my makeup to get ready for the day. If you also like doing your makeup, but feel like you could use a little more oomph in your routine, stick around!

1.     The first thing you’re going to want to do before even sitting at your station or taking your place at the mirror, is ground thyself. I’m talking deep breaths, close your eyes and just be.
2.  Once you feel sufficiently grounded, focus on your intent.  Think about what do you want from this day. Do you want to draw in positivity? Keep yourself calm? Exude confidence? Warn predators? Attract luck?
3.  Now you have your intent. Good. You’re ready to sit down. Take your brush and get to work. Use the Color Correspondences below, or since colors do mean different things to each of us, feel free to take your own liberties. I view red as a violent and angry color, but some  (a lot?) of people see it as passionate and loving, for example.
4. With each color you dip into, say (mentally, or aloud) the attribute you wish for that color to bring to your day while holding that intention in your mind’s eye. 
   1.  Or, alternately, you can use this short incantation before you begin, to enchant the entire process. I would recommend remaining mindful during this process.
      1. Aphrodite (or Goddess), of beauty and grace
         I call on you as I prepare for the day
         With these colors, draw what I seek
         As I will, so mote it be

Color Correspondences

     Luckily, a lot of colors do tend to have some overlapping correspondences and there are so many sorts of colors that aren’t even on this chart. When you start mixing colors you can get entirely new correspondences. But, for now, we’re going to leave this one as it is. 

     I hope this gave you some ideas on how to make this part of your day just a little more magickal. Nothing needed except for what you already have. I would love to see what you guys come up with!
