Changing beauty perceptions

https://ift.tt/JBP8Qk0

Hello! Just wanted to share a wholesome update in my life that might inspire other women!

The last 3 months I chose not to wear any makeup. No mascara, blush, foundation, lipstick, etc and that also included no lash extensions, fake lashes, etc.

I’m 23F, for most of my teenage years and 20’s, I’ve probably worn makeup nearly every time I had to leave the house or do something social. It wasn’t something I thought of consciously, it was just an ingrained habit. But I noticed how insecure I would feel when I didn’t have time to do my makeup before leaving. I also noticed how distorted my perception of myself was because of it. I also wore lash extensions for 5 years and felt incredibly dependent on them for my confidence.

There’s been a lot of changes in the last few months (including no drinking, meditating everyday, etc.) but this has been one of the most significant.

I can’t describe it any other way but there was one day I remember distinctly, I was at a cafe and I saw myself in the mirror, and for the first time I was nearly blown away by how beautiful I looked and felt, completely makeup free! I felt like I was seeing myself with completely new eyes. It was a surreal experience.

I’ve reintroduced makeup back into my life but now I do it so much more intentionally and still prefer my face without it 90% of the time! i mainly only wear it for special occasions now.

Just wanted to put this out there for anyone who feels reliant on makeup for their self confidence. I’ve also invested so much more time into my hobbies (by spending less time on appearance) and feel so much more beautiful as a result of it!!! (+ save sm money)

Encourage everyone who wears makeup consistently to try this at some point in their life :)
