feel beautiful without makeup

I haven’t been on this site in over a month, and I also haven’t worn a speck of make-up for that time. It was weird and kind of hard to make myself stop wearing it, but so totally worth it. I now save 15 minutes in the morning putting it all on, and 15 at night taking it all off. Plus I’ve learned to feel fine without the makeup, and my skin actually looks better on its own than it did covered in all that junk. I also have so much more money now; I never realized how much I spent on products to make me look good.

...zero make-up! I threw away most of it to stop the temptation, although I kept some mascara for when I feel like being fancy and some concealer for those “OMG IT’S SCHOOL PICTURE DAY AND THERE’S A ZIT ON MY NOSE!” kind of moments.

I’ve worn mascara regularly for so long, it’s strange to see my natural eyelashes. They’re thin and short, yes, but they’re soft and curly and the very tips of them glint gold in the sun. Why was I covering them in clumpy black mess? I’m happy with myself so far.
