I Gave Up Make-Up

I used to wear lots of make-up. I couldn't get out of the house without it.

But then, one day, I was walking along with the guy I loved and he suddenly said he liked me a lot more without make-up and asked me if applying it made me feel more beautiful. I felt very awkward and started using less and less of it.

It took about a year for me to give it up completely. At first I felt terrible about it, every morning I used to look at myself in the mirror and think I looked absolutely horrible. Then, as the months went by, my face actually started to look better and better when I woke up.

Right now, people tell me they actually think I do wear make-up, because my skin and eyes look as if I were.

I didn't really believe those who said make-up destroys your skin, but now I can say by experience that it does. I'm not wasting money on it anymore...

sweet! me too. I usually only wear eyeliner, but that's because I look really odd sometimes without it because I have very fine eyelashes. and short too.

I wear makeup - eyes and lips daily.. i use coverup when my skin looks blochy.. but yes most makeup does destroy your skin. especially makeup that is oil based.

i dont wear any make up either...and i always thought people who you are used to seeing with a lot of make up, look horrible without it...so when u are always not wearing make up, you need not be worried about getting caught unawares

Huh. I sure as hell wouldn't wear makeup. If so, throw me in the hell house.
