I am a 21 year old sorority woman and unlike many stereotypes, I am not one who can or wants to cover up every inch of my face with makeup. As a child I had a mixed personality. Sometimes I chose Barbie dolls and other times I chose the dirt on a field. I played softball for 13 years and soccer for 11. Needless to say, I was not one of the girls walking down the halls of high school in dresses or even cute clothes. The college experience has just worsened my desire to dress lazy. I rock the oversized t-shirt and norts/leggings daily. AND THAT'S OKAY. I feel like a lot of girls are getting self conscience because they do not know how to paint their face the way the girls in the makeup tutorials do. Girl, rock your freckles; there is NO reason to cover them up.
I have made it my entire life never contouring my face or wearing my eye shadow to a tee. I usually get lipstick on my teeth and my mascara runs all over my eyes and face at some point throughout the day as I chase three year olds at my daycare. There is absolutely nothing wrong with showing the world how beautiful you are with a natural face and natural hair. It drives me insane to see ten year olds wanting make up, or worse walking around with it on. I know as a little girl it is exciting to begin the journey to becoming a woman, but we are only teaching them that when they grow up and choose to play sports rather than doing make up they are not as pretty. I think it says more about a persons character to be confident in the body and face that God gave them rather than covering it up all together.
