“Very Demure” TikTok Trend: How it all Started
In a TikTok video that has now gone viral with nearly 7 million views, Jools is seen sitting in her car, explaining how she approaches work with this mindset. “”I do my makeup, put on my wig, braid my hair a bit, flatiron it, and then spray on some Viral Vanilla perfume. Very demure, very mindful.”
Jools kept on saying , “You see how I do my makeup for work? Very demure. Very mindful. I don’t show up with a green-cut crease. I don’t look like a clown at work. I’m very mindful of my appearance. The way I prepare for an interview is the same way I go to the job. Some girls go to the interview looking polished but end up at the job looking like a mess. Not demure. I’m very modest. I’m very mindful.”
In an interview with CBS Mornings, Ms. Lebron explained, “Your idea of being “demure” is personal to you. It is all about being thoughtful and considerate towards others and yourself, and how you show yourself to the world.”
