No Makeup, No confidence?

Recently it’s come to my attention people can have quite strong opinions when it comes to makeup and it being the month of love and dates and flowers I figured I’d tackle the subject head on since people get up close and personal and can really see what is or is not on your face.

On one side you have the girls who never wear makeup. And whatever the reason, they feel comfortable without it which is perfectly fine…until you start pointing fingers. Yes, you walk around looking completely natural and bare, but does that give anyone of us the right to call someone else out for making a different choice? Of course not! Sadly, there are many people that do this and it makes my heart sad. Nobody should feel less beautiful because we are all the same whether we cover or enhance what we’ve been handed. At the end of the day we are all dealing with our own battles and it would be very nice if we could take a moment of our day and get to know someone before we decide they’re “fake” for wearing something that could very well be the thing that makes them feel good.

Makeup was made to enhance features. To make us feel prettier than we already are, it’s an art integral to the beauty of women dating back to the Egyptian era of pharos and wearing it should be a choice that can be made without repercussions. I respect girls who wear makeup, like myself, but I also respect girls who don’t wear it. I am able to respect these choices because I believe I’m just as beautiful with or without makeup. I know that God loves me just the way I am and that the most important part is in me, not on me. The outside is simply a dim reflection of who I am inside and hopefully we can all have enough confidence in ourselves to not be offended by what others wear. Having said that, I hope this Valentine’s Day you do something to make yourself feel pretty inside and out whatever that may be. Sending lots of hugs and love to everyone out there, be you and that's more than enough! <3
