in Motivation and Support
Hi Everyone!

Just wanted to share a recent experience of mine. I noticed during the past two-three months that putting on makeup (even the slightest) makes me feel so much better about myself : I feel better about my body, my looks, it makes me feel pretty no matter what's going on in my life. I notice it being a sure motivational boost. I want to work harder at getting fit and losing more weight.

Just wanted to share, in case anyone else needed something to help them stay afloat. :drinker: :bigsmile:

    I am a makeup FIEND, I buy an interesting cosmetic every time I meet a 5lb loss! It's a great motivator that isn't food-based :)

    I am a makeup hoarder, specifically nail polish and eye makeup. I can't go into a Walgreens without buying something. :laugh:

    Even on my worse days I will put on make up and it makes me feel so much better. :happy:

    Because of my busy work and work out schedule I only have time to apply it on the weekends. I do LOVE the confidence boost!

    I've been really into it lately, too! I didn't always wear it, but now I can't stand my skin without a little powder! It's really fun. I want to start rocking bold lipstick but I'm nervous I can't pull it off.

    Oh, I'm all for anything that makes a woman feel sexier or prettier. I hardly ever go out of the house with at least a little something on (but I like to glam up).

    *Also I find, wearing pretty lacey under garments makes me feel pretty. No one else sees them, but I know they're there :-D

    Makeup is my passion. I work in the beauty industry. Specifically I work with makeup all day long and I LOVE it. I've worked with women who are going through some serious things in their life (cancer, loss of a spouse, etc) and just by putting a little bit of makeup on them makes them feel so much better. It does give women a confidence boost.

    Since I have to wear a "full face" for work, I don't wear it on my days off and that's kind of freeing in and of itself.

    I could talk makeup all day :love:

    I never even thought about doing this. I love this idea! i am on a Benefit kick right now so I will be sure to buy myself a little treat there as a motivator every 5 pounds!

    Me too! It's pretty much full-face (falsies included) or nothing.

    I am obsessed with Clinique makeup and buy something new (like a new eye pallet or lipstick) every month or so

    I wear makeup when I go in public now. I don't wear it at home because I'm lazy and I HATE HATE HATE taking it off at night. It does make me feel better in public though.

    I love makeup. Especially nail polishes. I always feel more put together when I have nice nails (though I've been slacking lately). I use to change my nail polish color every week.

    And maybe because of the exercising and because I'm drinking more water, but my skin is clearing up, which makes my makeup routine so much easier every morning. Now if only these pesky acne scars around my lips would fade away.

    I thought the same way as you. But then I went to Sephora this past weekend and bought the Hourglass Nude color in #4. It's very cute! Check them out at the store, if you can. You'll be amazed.
