I started wearing makeup around age 17. I was in my mid-twenties before it occurred to me that I was teaching myself to see my natural face as wrong. This struck me as so disturbing that I stopped cold turkey. It was hard at first to go out in public. Even though I *knew* it was irrational, I didn't think anyone would wantlijhehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09213848554493937668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980259522701574842.post-59468284152795368902010-12-04T02:37:42.254-05:002010-12-04T02:37:42.254-05:00I concur with Kelsie.

I like to play with it sometimes, to try certain looks. But I have never understood the people that 'have' to wear makeup to go out in public. <br /><br />I don't wear it to work on a regular basis and as far as I can tell, it hasn't made a difference.

Incredible.<br />e.g. "Because you're worth it" "Love the skin you're in"<br />Apparently unless you buy these companies' products, you don't actually value yourself. And you're not a feminist.Whitneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15214554844363877493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980259522701574842.post-7129051641050338572010-11-11T11:59:51.015-05:002010-11-11T11:59:51.015-05:00I do enjoy make-up and I don't necessarily thi...I do enjoy make-up and I don't necessarily think it boosts my self confidence, I wear it because I like the way my eyes look, mostly more awake. I guess I'm a conformist in that sense, usually it's just mascara and some foundation to cover the circles under my eyes. When I get my hair cut, I always request no products to be sprayed or mushed or streaked through my hair.

I wouldn't stand for it! I recently started dating a beautiful women and it amazes me how beautiful she is every day in her very own "naked skin." Great post Emily. I agree with you. Thank goodness I don't feel pressured into wearing make-up. 80)Jonathan Weisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11270105561556129223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980259522701574842.post-15696312725745361972010-11-11T01:17:12.216-05:002010-11-11T01:17:12.216-05:00Little did that 14 year old girl know that vowing ...Little did that 14 year old girl know that vowing off of makeup so ardently would set a ruddy-cheeked 8 year old up for a lifetime of feeling infinitely better in her own "naked skin." Unnecessarily long sentence of the day. The point is, thanks Emily. :) And thanks for the mushy almost-cliche post. It made me renew my vows.Kelsie Beenoreply@blogger.com
