Well its been WAAAY over 3 weeks, but thought it was due for an update! I lasted three weeks without wearing any makeup, horrible I know, but the odd thing is that after awhile, I felt more confident. I wasnt worried about how I looked, I just felt comfortable!
Now dont get me wrong I love my makeup and did of course go back to wearing it, but definitely not as much.
I use to wear foundation all over my face, but now I use it as a concealer applying it under my eyes and on and around my nose. Blush and mascara of course, but now I only use a clear gel for my eyebrows instead of coloring them in some.
Heres a pic I took the first day I was free! I did wear ALL of my makeup here, including lipstick.
Also please excuse the snooty face and bad webcam pics hehe
giiiiirrrrrrllllllllll
So from this experience I would say the pros and cons were this:
Pros:
Gained confidence
WON the bet
Was right about it not creating my breakouts
Have a new, fresh look
Cons:
Had to sport dark circles and a red nose
Felt plain
Felt out of place at makeup counters/mall/salon
I dont know how true this is, but I also felt like people treated me differently.
Aside from that I want to say Happy New Year!! Hope everyone had a grand ol' time :)
you did a great job! and you look better then ever ;-)

woah well done! I cant even go to the local shop sans make up...so amazing amount of respect for you! I reckon you look amazing with or without xxx
ReplyDeleteYou have gorgeous features. Your face without makeup looks just as good, if not better. But yes, ditching makeup gives you so much confidence. I need to try that. Thank you for such an uplifting and inspiring post.

That's impressive! Don't think I could do it. I'm sure I'd cheat. People always ask if I'm sick when I'm not wearing mascara.
