Hey everyone! I missed all of you! I’m back again sharing some stuff that I do when I’m doing beauty. Here are my top ten songs that I listen to when I’m going from wham to glam!

10. Be Careful – Cardi B

This song is literally such a bop, but not only because of the smooth beats in the background, but because of the truth Cardi B speaks on it. It’s a very groovy and smooth song in my opinion but it is perfect for me to get ready to. It lights up my confidence and it reminds me how all men are trash. Just kidding! Or am I?

9. Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I’m Bored

I don’t know what this list would be without Ariana Grande. She’s an icon and a wonderful feminist. She empowers me more than food at this point. I literally listen to her almost every single day and I could listen to this particular song at any point in my routine. She gives me energy and life and makes me feel like I can do anything.

8. Child’s Play – Drake

Drake pumps my head up so much and that is why he is on this list. This song is so powerful to me because it makes me feel so confident. The way that the beat drops in certain points and the rapping aspect brings a different vibe when I’m getting ready. I love the song and the lyrics are entertaining to me.

7. Forrest Gump – Frank Ocean

Coming in at #7 is Mr. Frank Ocean. This entire album is a masterpiece but the reason this specific song is on my get ready playlist is because of how personal it is. I love listening to music with meaning, not to say all music doesn’t have meaning, but Frank does it differently. I have an obsession with slow songs because they just relax me.

6. Let Me Love You – Mario

I don’t even have words for this song. Anybody who is ANYBODY knows this song and knows what a classic it is. It is the signature bad bitch song. You sing this song when you are divorced and rich, or so they say. I love this song by Mario because it empowers the inner woman within you because he is telling you that you know you are worth it. I love to listen to this song towards the end of my makeup routine because I feel pretty, I feel confident, and I feel like there’s people out there who know who you are.

5. Love. (Feat. Zacari.) – Kendrick Lamar

I don’t know what it is about slow songs that truly attract me to them. This song by Kendrick Lamar is absolutely beautiful. It gives me that sleepy vibe where you could just go on a drive and listen to it. I love to listen to this song in the beginning process of my makeup because it starts me off on a good mood. The lyrics are really nice too and it makes me feel loved.

4. Sunflower (Spider-Man: Into the Spider Verse Soundtrack) – Post Malone & Swae Lee

This is a song that was stuck in my head for a very long time. It was such a bop when the movie Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse came out and I listened to it for the first time. It has this happy warm feeling to it and gives me amazing vibes when I listen to it. The song includes a soft voice from Swae and a deep voice from Post Malone and it adds a perfect blend to the tune. I love listening to it because it puts me in a happy mood.

3. Please Me – Bruno Mars & Cardi B

We all love sexy songs like come on. This song is beautifully sexy in its own way. I love the chemistry between Cardi and Bruno and their voices bring me to peace. I like to play this song when I’m getting ready to go out on a date or with my friend because it gives me a different vibe. It makes me want to feel sexy and feel prettier in that moment. Cuddos to Cardi B and Bruno Mars.

2. When The Party’s Over – Billie Eilish

This song is absolutely great. It’s the perfect mixture of softness and depression. I was never really a big Billie Eilish fan until the 2020 Grammys when she performed this song. I love to listen to this song when I’m doing something that requires focus like eye shadow or highlight or even my hair. The song calms me down and reminds me to take life slow.

1. Watermelon Sugar – Harry Styles

Harry Styles is absolutely everything to me so it makes sense that he would be number 1 on my list. His music is literally so good but this song makes me feel some type of way. It’s very powerful and loud and also makes me feel alive. Although this song is about sex . . . it still makes me happy because of the upbeat attitude it has along with the empowerment behind it.
