First of all, let me just say, YOU SLAY. Like, seriously. I don't care how bad you are at makeup. If you put in the time on a regular basis to participate in the work of art that is your beat face... YASSSSS.
Honestly, I have very little to say, other than that I am so full of awe and respect for you. I don't have the patience or, more accurately, the willpower to put in the energy to do my makeup every day. And I love makeup.
I spend way too much money on it. I collect it, and what I have, I pretty much place on a pedestal. But it's kind of like wedding china. Yes, it's beautiful and precious, but if you're not using it, what's the point?
And that is the trap I find myself in.
I wish I had your determination and, quite honestly, your makeup skills. I am bad at doing my makeup, but that isn't the only, nor is it the main, reason why I never bother to wear it. But boy do I wish I was better. Maybe if I was, I would be more inspired to do it every day.
I like my lifestyle of limited makeup. I do! It's nice not having to gingerly remove foundation and mascara from my face every night, and it's lovely to have an extra hour to sleep in. Plus, your skin needs air to breathe, and I know mine is thankful for the vast amounts I give it.
Even then, I wish I could be like you. Because I so rarely wear makeup, I feel like I'm always a step below the "dress code". Even if my outfit is cute and my hair is done, my bare face gives me away as who I am: a lazy bitch.
That being said, I have a few words to say to those of you who feel you have to wear makeup, whether it's to impress someone in your life, cover up your self-perceived "imperfections", or so you don't feel left out.
You are beautiful the way you are. You shouldn't feel the obligation to do something for someone else, no matter how cute they are or how much you like them. Your "flaws" are never as bad as you think they are, and even if you don't realize it, you're beautiful.
So to all you ladies and fellas who wear makeup every day, I applaud you and hope you know you don't have to do so if you don't want to. I wish I could because I do want to. You all have such skill that it would BLOW THE MINDS of a time traveler from the past.
So, from the girl who barely wears makeup, you are awesome!
