HEre it is...no make up...

Honesty, I think you are beautiful without makeup! Society sucks, making us think we need to be all made up whenever we go anywhere!

You look beautiful without makeup. Why even feel like you need it. Its natural and gorgeous!

Sorry, what's the difference in the pictures??
Honestly can't tell either way, you're beautiful with or without makeup!

I think you look just as beautiful without make-up as you do with it. :flowerforyou:

You're beautiful.

It took me years to break little makeup habits, one at a time. In the end, not a single person ever seemed to notice one way or the other. I still prefer to have a little mascara on when I leave the house, but I'm not terrified and ashamed to go outside with a totally naked face. The more you do it, the easier it will get.

You're breathtakingly beautiful without makeup.

You have to believe that for yourself though. You can get a million posts saying the same thing but it's meaningless unless you feel it and believe it.


I wish you would believe it though - because it's true.

Women wear makeup for women...I think.

Never knew a woman I thought was beautiful that wasn't beautiful w/o the makeup as well.

Way to go! You look awesome in both pics (although the without is a little blurry). Feel free to enjoy your days without make up!

lol I love how you gave your self a soft glow on the no make-up pic :-P Nevertheless you still you great without make up. Embrace your natural beauty! :-)

I my goodness . . . you have NOTHING to hide!! Beautiful . . .

Of course you are beautiful without the makeup. There is no question there. But you def look different with it on! It just gives you a little something. For me, I like to do my makeup. I don't put tons of foundation on or anything, but I like to play up my eyes and kind of get matchy with whatever I'm wearing. Today I'm wearing yellow, so its bronzes and browns, black eyeliner and mascara. I don't believe we need to make makeup a chore, but something we enjoy doing. And we shouldn't be afraid to walk out of the house without it on. You are a beauty, and if you don't feel like doing your makeup one day... then don't!

I'm a no-makeup person like 90% of the time. It's just a general pain. But I am definitely NOT brave enough to post an up-close shot like you just did.

You are my hero.

Even if you looked like a foot, you'd still be my hero just for having balls.

Fortunately, you don't look like a foot. I think you're pretty.

Kat..thank you for that...it made me feel a little better.

How are things on your side of the state??

I would post a picture to make you feel better.. But no effin way. Lol!

It's lame over here. Nothing exciting. It was cool yesterday evening so we got to enjoy a bike ride. But I'm at work today, so blah.

Is it bright and sunny and beautiful for you?

I don't really think people look more pretty with all the makeup, just different. Like you looked more colorful, not prettier. I think colors can compliment an outfit very well, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. I think what stands out more is how you arrange your hair, and if you keep your face clean. Otherwise I usually don't even notice if someone is wearing makeup unless it is heavy.

When I started student teaching I felt obligated to try to wear makeup every day, and after the first two days I stopped. My skin is just too sensitive for all the chemicals in that stuff. No one noticed or commented. I go every day without makeup, and I feel much happier since my eyes/skin don't itch all the time. :laugh:

This might sound crazy, but if anything I think makeup makes people look older since it has a tendency to look chalky and dry.
