Like most women, I love makeup. Everything from the bright pop of a red
lipstick that can add a zing to my day to the concealer that hides the late
night of the day before.
“Beneath the makeup and behind the smile I am just a girl who wishes for the world.”
Over the years I have found myself wearing less
and less, until I have found what my tastes are and what I am comfortable with.
Gone are the electric blue eyeshadows I wore in
the nineties, along with the neon pink lipsticks and the too thick foundation
and in are more neutral colours, focusing more on enhancing what I have rather
than starting from a new slate.
Although I wouldn’t go for a day out without
makeup, I don’t feel the need to cake it on either. If you were t0 leave me stranded on a desert
island, mascara would be the one indulgence item I would want.
I have taken three photographs of myself as
below. In the first photograph I’m
wearing no makeup. After doing the #flashtheflesh challenge on Saturday I no longer find this scary. I wore a swimsuit, on the internet, I can damn well go bare faced.
Second photograph I’ve gone for the natural look which is what I tend to wear at work, although a red lippy is always in my handbag ;)
In the last photograph is my favourite makeup look of the moment. It is how I would prefer to greet the world ideally, but I don’t hold myself to a “must be perfect at all times” theory so if I pop down to the supermarket with no makeup on? Chicken Licken, the sky will not fall in.
