feel beautiful without wearing makeup

I’ve worn makeup on a few occasions in the past 9 months, but not every day. I have found that my “normal” view of myself has changed—now it’s not odd to see myself without makeup, it’s odd to see me with makeup on. This is good. This feels good. It feels genuine. Normal skin tone doesn’t have to be perfect and even. I’m working on this.

I haven’t worn any since November 11.

I can’t tell that my face breaks out any more or any less, but of course, I can’t cover up blemishes, so I do notice them more.
