Bloggers Without Make-Up

May 16th, 2010. Posted in My Life.

This is me after taking a shower & drying my hair and… with NO MAKE-UP ON!

I was recently inspired to do this from some bloggers. For those who know me very well, I never leave the house without make-up on. Except for some Summer days when I’m lazy… I have to at least put mascara on. I have to admit though that I never wear concealer or foundation. The only make-up I use is eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara. In fact I think I have more hair products than I do with make-up. I don’t even have extra time in the mornings for all the other make-up. I can’t even get smokey eyes without getting too stressed out and messing up.

When my sorority had dances, I would always go and get my make-up done at the mall and buy the cheapest product they used after putting make-up on me…which normally was the eyeliner or mascara. I have always liked what they did except for that one time in 2006. I went to the mall and a young woman said she would do my make-up. She didn’t even let me watch in front of a mirror or let me take a peek in the mirror every once a while. I had absolutely no idea what she was doing until she was done and let’s just say I then understood why a lot of people were walking by and looking at me. Imagine this is what I looked like after wiping off a lot of make-up (less green!)…

Fortunately some women look amazing with bold colors but not me… or it’s just that I’m not used to that much make-up. I have accepted that it’s just not me to know how to do these amazing things with my eyes. Just putting on eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara will do! I’m happy with the way I look and would like to thank my parents for the lovely genes.

Now will you join us and show your beautiful self without make-up on? You know you’re beautiful no matter what!

    i don’t know if I’ll ever do a post about me without makeup, but that’s only because the only makeup I ever wear is a little bit of powder concealer under my eyes and in the shadows of my cheeks to lighten my face up a little, then I dab on a bit of sparkly blush for a shine. I don’t wear anything on my eyes unless it’s a really special occasion…I just don’t like the feeling of makeup around my eyes, especially while I wear contacts all day.

    I’m so lazy I never wear make-up on a daily basis hehe. I do put on some mascara (and often eyeshadow) if I go out in the evening for a meal or something but that’s about it really. Make-ip makes my eyes sore too so I try not to wear it too often.

    I usually prefer women without make-up so I’m all for going without :D

    Love these posts. I dont really wear a bunch of make up in every day life either — ususally just tinted moisturizer, mascara and lip gloss. I really can’t stand to wear make up when its hot and humid outside.

    I’m doing something like this for my Wednesday post, but not because of Bloggers Without Make-Up Day…just because I felt like I needed to. ;)

    You’re just gorgeous girl, with or without make-up!

    I wish I knew about this earlier! I would have totally taken part! I’m finally getting better about going out without so much on my face. It’s a confidence thing. You look great too!

    Beautiful! The only time I dare to go without make-up is during the summer when I’m a little tanner than usual!

    Hey beautiful! You are such a natural beauty! I’m just like you in that I don’t wear a lot of makeup but I MUST wear mascara before leaving the house! Can’t live without it!

  • http://pshaortao.blogspot.com Sara

    Aw pretty lady! I haven’t forgotten your obsession for mascara. Actually I kind of love mascara now, to the point where I have left the house without any on only maybe 2, 3 times ever since nearly 3 months ago. :) I love how it makes me look more “awake/refreshed”. Now I’m wondering how is it that I almost never wore makeup all that time before!

    You look radiant without the makeup! Sometimes I don’t wear makeup out, but I try to hide that by wearing a clunky necklace or something.

    But you look AMAZING with no makeup! You shouldn’t be self-conscious at all. But I get it – I never leave the house without makeup! EVER.
