Non-Made-Up Face Days

Recently, I havent worn any or very little makeup, due to moving and also, it's been 95 degrees here some days!  Melting makeup does not look good, trust me, and I never had a chance to find or unpack any setting spray (still love you, Skindinavia!), which I like to use especially with sunscreen, which I use all day every day.  Sometimes I've worn eyeliner and that's it, or maybe a little shadow but nothing too noticeable. I always, always do my brows though- although they havent been doen by a professional since April.  I haven't worn mascara in so long I may have forgotten how to!

I always used to get comments from people I know that I look younger without makeup, which is so strange to me!  Until I saw photos of celebrities.... some of them look much younger without makeup too, especially the women under 30. 

I try not to wear face makeup, and although I also haven't used my Clarisonic during the move, I still don't have any breakouts. 
Yesterday, I finally wore eyeshadow and liner- I did hot pink, light and dark silver, with dark grey in the crease.  Sorry I keep forgetting to take pics!  And I think I put the wrong kind of bulbs in my lighting because they are really, really hot- I can't stand in front of them for more than a couple of minutes. 

Anyway.... do you think you look younger or older without makeup??

I almost always wear glasses when I don't wear makeup so I dont feel too naked!  And a WARNING: The photo you are about to see is rated U for Ugly, so if this bothers you, please... look away from your screen now!!


Actually, I think it may be the dark eyes that make me look older- smokey eyes were never really my thing anyway though.

  1. Nonsense, not an ugly picture at all. A nice fresh face and you look younger without makeup too.

  3. I agree with others - you're not ugly! You look great! Your skin's so clear and you really do look young and fresh without make up (same cannot be said about me - spotty, red skin etc)

  4. Man, if that's bad skin (no-makeup) I'll take it! I wouldn't even dare to take a picture sans makeup due to all my blemishing so kudos to you for being so open.

    I think you look younger with makeup in this particular shot but I think it has more to do with the playful/youthful lip color and pink under the eyes. But not by much, I keep going back and forth and I can't really settle so I'd say you just look different, not better or worse or older or younger, just different.

    Best of luck with your move!
