  • Page 15I begin with the Tatcha Camellia Cleansing Oil, massaged into dry skin for a full 60 seconds. I have been asleep. I was not impure. I cleanse anyway. I always cleanse. This is followed imme- diately by the CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser, the first cleanse is for the sins of the night, the second is for the soul and then Bioderma Sen- sibio Micellar Water, because there is always something left behind. Always. The Paula's Choice 2% BHA Exfoliant comes next. My skin is turning over its old cells. I under- stand this on a personal level. Then the SK-II Fa- cial Treatment Essence, patted in with both palms pressed together as if praying. I am praying. I am always praying at this stage. Three drops of SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic follow no more, less. Once I used four drops. I don't speak about that time.

"How to manage social media like me?"

My Instagram did not happen to me. I happened to my Instagram.

The only correct light that exists is a rare occa- sion, so I surrounded myself with artificial lights. It makes my Bleach London Washed Blue hair look exactly like it does in my head otherworldly, slightly threatening, deeply inconvenient for an- yone standing near me. I don't let people stand near me in photos. This is not up for discussion. My hair is blue. Not Pinterest blue, not "dusty lavender that fades to grey in a week" blue. Arc- tic Fox Poseidon over a full bleach, maintained with Fanola No Yellow, which is ironically very yellow in the bottle and I find this funny in a way I don't explain to people. The lip is MAC Matte in Blue-Brown layered under NYX Lip Liner in Midnight. It is the top trend right now. I was do- ing it before it was a trend. The Council has the timestamps.

The Council is what we call the group chat. There are five of us. We did not choose the name ironically.

Yernur handles backgrounds. He once made me retake an entire mirror selfie because a motivational quote was visible on a mug in the reflection. He said it disrupted the "atmosphere of mild dread" we have spent two years cultivat- ing. No more ugly mug in my apartment, he is lowkey professional.

V manages the grid. She will tell you, without hesitation or remorse, if a post is throwing off the palette. Last month I had a photo three shades too warm, she caught it. I owe her something I cannot name.

Anissa writes the captions. Technically I write them, but she removes anything that sounds like I'm trying, anything that sounds like I care, anything that sounds like I had a pleasant day. My captions average six words.

I, personally, approve the energy and the vibes I want to give off. No joke here.

Everything in my day is a concept, that can be photographed. Ofcourse, in this process you learn to leave out the unpleasant parts, such as you without full face of make up. Each pho- to takes 20-30 tries minimum. I have to look perfect.

P.S: The blue lip takes 22 minutes to apply cor- rectly. I have been asked if it's uncomfortable. I find the question offensive.
