It doesn't matter who you are, what you do, or how happy you are, there are days when you're going to feel stressed out. Stress is part of what you will undergo in life, you can never dodge it, it's something that no one has control over and every person has to deal with at one point or another, Stress is bound to happen to anyone in as much you are human, Majorly the cause of my stress is WORK
The type of work I do is stressful and most times customers can add up to the stress, some customers are querulous, and they nag as if the world is coming to an end.
When are being at work I do stand for more than six hours working, it tells so quickly any time I am stressed, I have this nature that whenever I am tired my face becomes dried it will not glow like before, I will be eager to find a place and rest and be hydrated.
A customer came to my studio last week to get her makeup done for her birthday photoshoot, we had already agreed on the price, and she explained to me how she wants her makeup, so natural which is very well okay with me, so when she came, she came with her friend and the friend changed her mind to go for flashy make-up, I told her you to look unique in simple make-up than flashy one because she so natural and due to my profession I know what is suitable for her skin and will come out well.
Her friend convinced her totally to for red lips and multicolor eye shadow, she agreed to her suggestion and told me to start the makeup, who am I not to do that lol...
So I started the makeup as she wanted it and after the makeup, she looks okay but not as perfect as I want her to look, she is fair with natural beauty, and all she needs is a touch of nude color on her lips, so when I finished the makeup she is not feeling herself like the way she supposes to feel herself, so she told me to clean it and re-do another make-up for her that she will double the pay.
At this point I was loosing my patience because the stress is telling on me, how can I clean it and start over again, I told her I don't work like that, when I was doing the first one you were busy gisting with your confusions friend, I got any and told her to snap with it like that because another client is waiting for me to finish her makeup so I can start her own.
This lady became a thorn in my flesh, she started nagging and murmuring, I told her I will not attend to her until I am done with others sitting, at first I lose concentration because I am tired and also stressed, and working on her take much time because she was talking with her friend and not calmly so I need to take my time so that I can get that perfect Make-up.
Some customers can be frustrating, they always add more to the stress that is on you, when never I am stressed, I need time to relax and drink cold water when I am at work but if I am at home and I am stressed I will take a cold shower and lay in my bed, take a nap so that I will be refreshed.
Even talking to anyone will be difficult whenever I am undergoing stress, it destabilizes me until I get a better place to sit and relax or go home and stretch myself.
