'All my hours of selfie experience did not prepare me for the brutal reality of what it felt like for my face to be broadcast daily on Zoom meetings with my coworkers once we started social distancing in March.'
setting powder, at the very least. After all, I’m a market editor who specializes in beauty, and I really love makeup and experimenting with products. And as a black woman, it’s been instilled in me how important it is to present myself as a polished professional for even longer than I’ve been in the workforce. But now, almost two months into my new normal of working from home and the constant Zoom meetings that come with it, I'm doing something very different.
Zoom video conferencing is, to put it lightly, nothing like my platform of choice, Instagram, where I post a mix of beauty routine and outfit-of-the-day pics, and, of course, selfies . Crafting the perfect selfie and proudly uploading it to Instagram is a serious hobby of mine.
Honestly though? All of those casual-looking selfies actually take a lot of time and effort. Whenever I post a selfie, no matter how “natural” they may look, there’s a fair amount of planning involved. Aside from making sure I have an acceptable amount of makeup on for the mood I’m going for, there’s also pulling together a content plan around what to post, finding the right light to shoot in, and using editing apps to tweak the final pose .
Initially, I would give myself around 30 minutes to brush my hair, fill in my brows, and at the very least swipe on a tiny bit of concealer to minimize my dark spots and under eye circles before my meetings. I’d even stage my background like I do when Instagramming, with just the right amount of flattering lighting. But as the days went on, and for one reason or another, I sort of stopped caring as much.
