So last night I posted this on my Instagram and Facebook:
And it got quite a big response (especially on Facebook) of people lovin’ on my no-makeup face.
I used a filter, people. And I just happen to not have any zits right now. And I cut off most of my forehead where my acne scars lie.
I really wasn’t fishing for compliments, but I appreciate them. I just…love concealer. And mascara. I know that I don’t need makeup to be beautiful. I know that facial beauty (as they say in pageants!) isn’t what matters or defines worth. I put on my makeup every day mostly because I just…like…makeup. I feel more like me when I have it on, and yet, it has very little to do with my self-esteem. I know who I am, and I’m the same person with or without mascara.
But I guess it’s nice to know I don’t frighten people when I go out without it.
What do you think? Do you like wearing makeup or is it just something you feel like you “should” do? Or do you not care?
I save a great deal of $ by not wearing make-up. But, as Grandpa used to say, “…every old barn could use a fresh coat of paint…”
I’m not sure that I like wearing makeup, but I have VERY dark circles and I feel more comfortable using concealer to help cover them up. Even with makeup, but the end of the day, people usually tell me I look tired (because of the circles). BTW, filter or not, you looked great in the picture.
I wear makeup about once or twice a month – usually to church or if the hubby and I are going out. I actually like to wear it and it makes me feel prettier, but I’ve never worn it regularly and I don’t feel like I “need” to wear it so it’s not a big deal to me. Having said that, I get so many compliments when I do wear it that I think other people must think I look better with it… oh well. But you’re absolutely beautiful with or without it so kuddos to you!!
