I have spent so many years covering up my face with foundation.  I’m prone to break out and I have always had dark circles under my eyes.   I’m always disguising what I look like as if the very idea of bare skin is offensive.  

I spent my first day without makeup expecting people to stare at how awful I looked.  I was in Walmart of all places, which is kind of funny if you’ve ever visited www.peopleofwalmart.com

Its been about a week and there were a few days I broke into the brightener and put a tiny bit under my eyes  so I looked less tired.   I’m not against it for special occasions and I may even start wearing it again regularly in the future.   For now, its nice to remember what I look like.   Makeup or not, this is me.  I’ll never be perfect, but who wants to be?
