"You are beautiful without makeup."
How many times have you heard another woman say this? Don't get me wrong, I get the intention behind that statement. It's meant to tell you that you can feel confident without wearing makeup. Yes, I can. However, I love wearing it. I love how I didn't realize how much I loved wearing makeup until I discovered and joined Younique. I love the creativity it brings to my day when I get to play with beautiful colors or decide what I am going to do in my next live video. I love how it makes me feel. Like I didn't have those painful years of acne, trying hundreds of products on my face to clear or cover it up the scars, but the products only made things worse. Somehow we've confused wearing makeup with wanting to hide who we are. A woman who wears makeup is NO less confident then the woman who doesn't. It's how she expresses herself, and I would venture to say, you are actually getting to see more of who she really is when she has her face done.
Makeup is NOT a mask.
Makeup is art.
Makeup is passion.
Makeup is expression.
Makeup is passion.
Makeup is expression.
And frankly, let me see you do a cut crease, blend 3 colors flawlessly, do a winged liner and tell me that doesn't take skill.
I don't absolutely hate the way I look without make up but I do prefer the feeling of wearing make up. I wear it for me because I like it not because I am bothered as much about how other people see me x
ReplyDeleteSame here! Makeup makes me look awake! Nothing wrong about not wanting to look asleep all day LOL
DeleteI don't have anything but basic makeup skills, so I usually don't wear it that often, except on the weekends, for outfit photos and when going out with friends. But my usual Monday through Friday is with a fresh face to the gym, to walk the dogs, to run errands.

I have basic as well Cheryl! LOL This picture is my usual face look. I switch out my lip colors and eye colors but nothing too fancy. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteCompletely agree! I don't think that makeup is a necessity, it's more like an accessory. Change it up to go with your outfit and your different looks. Highlight your favorite features, not cover and hide everything. <3
ReplyDeleteExactly! New color for every outfit :D
DeleteI absolutely agree. I am proud to show off my makeup skills! haha
ReplyDeleteDo it girl! LOL
DeleteI love the message you are sharing here!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Stephanie!
DeleteI definitely don't judge anybody for wearing (not wearing) makeup. I totally agree that it is a form of passion and I definitely think it's a true form of ART.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI don't really care what other other's do to their face! I wear makeup for different reasons. I look tired as hell without it so I wanna look decent when I leave the house. I also love playing with different looks specially when going out. It's crazy how much it changes ones face, who needs surgery when you can beat your face to satisfaction.
ReplyDeleteHaha same here! Makeup gives my face some life because I have the most terrible under eye circles.
DeleteOn most days I wear minimal makeup - mascara and lip gloss and maybe something on my eyebrows and that's it. I actually find it quite freeing. When I wear a face full of makeup, I don't really like it.

I agree! It's crazy because the picture here looks really natural and I have on foundation! It blows my mind how much more awake I look when I wear makeup, although I know I can walk out the door without wearing any as well.
DeleteI love wearing makeup because it's a creative outlet. I pretty much do the same look every day cause of lack of time to experiment, but it's still fun to apply it and see my face get transformed.
ReplyDeleteI do the same look as well! LOL But I love trying out new Younique products because they are so easy to use that even I can mix things up a bit here and there. Thanks so much for stopping by Chantal!
DeleteIt's a form of expression. No judgments or explanations required. Carry on beauties!
ReplyDeleteYaaas you already know Patranila!
DeleteThis is perfect. I wear makeup FOR ME because it is ART! Perfectly stated.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Taylor! You look gorgeous in your pic by the way ;)
DeleteWhat a beautiful post. Most days I don't wear much make up at all. Mascara and a little lip gloss.
ReplyDeleteSame here! This picture is like my go-to yet you can't even tell I have on foundation and concealer! The Younique makeup brand has seriously been a game changer for me. Thanks for stopping by Alison :D
DeleteI'm totally with you that it shouldn't be a mask. A girl should feel beautiful with or without makeup. I wear it when I feel like or when I'm off to a special occasion.
ReplyDeleteTotally! I can wear foundation and concealer (like in the pic) but I can also go out the house and not have a heart attack. Thanks for stopping by Louisa!
DeleteTotally agree with your thoughts on makeup! It is not a mask but an art and passion! That is such a cute picture.

Thank you so much!
DeleteI love the process of putting on make up. It's like spoiling myself. It has nothing to do with hiding anything. More with underlining my natural beauty.
ReplyDeleteYes! It really is like spoiling yourself with pretty colors. Totally with you Britta!
DeleteYes! It comes on just as quickly as it goes on. One thing I do love about Younique is that it stays on all day though lol
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of low makeup days, but I love to glam it up for nights out. It's colorful and fun!
