I went outside the other day without make up. And it wasn’t like, ‘I look fabulous’, it was there are some things I would change, or don’t like, but I am going regardless.
It cut down on my get ready time and I didn’t feel the need throughout the day to check. Let’s be clear though, I don’t even wear that much makeup, just a light foundation and eye makeup. I don’t take an inordinate time on it, unless I want to pamper myself, and it is never over the top.
But it’s still something I think about. I take pride in looking polished and professional, but I don’t think you need make up to do so. It’s about the way you carry yourself.
And it was oddly freeing to just walk out. Knowing that I wasn’t. I don’t know if people notice me or even see the difference, but I did. It’s so complex and hard to explain the reasons I do. But I like it as prepping a fresh canvas to experiment on.
