Mmmm my answer would be a yes. I think it’s because of the various experiences I had before that shape me into a girl who dare to go out with a bare face now.
I did chemical peel, facial and aesthetic treatments before, and they are usually in the town area. Most of the time, I have to remove my makeup and go home with my bare and red face. Usually I don’t go home right away because I will meet S for dinner. Meaning I have to walk around with peeling red face and smudging eyeliner!
Sometimes I would bring a specs to cover up my ugliness, and other times I just forgot all about it. And remember how moley I used to be in the past? If I can walk around like that I don’t see why I should be scared of baring my face now.
But of course I was whining the whole time, where got girls like to go out looking ugly one? Last time I even wear foundation to go minimart, because I was so scared that people will look at me and laugh at my moley face.
I thought about this before, why was I so afraid to show my face. Didn’t I go out without makeup when I was much younger? Ever since I start to wear makeup, I start to worry about how people will look at me if I don’t wear. Makeup to me was like a layer of protection, it boosts my confidence and when I don’t wear it I feel exposed.
I don’t like the feeling of being exposed, I don’t like the feeling of people knowing who I really was and how unconfident I am as a person.
But now being 26years old, when my priorities and goals suddenly all undergo a change of direction, I looked back thinking why do I care so much about how other people think? Why should I live my life based on other people’s opinions?
I quite enjoy the ME now, where I put on makeup when I want to and nothing if I don’t want to. Life is so much better and happier when you don’t get stressed with other people’s comments. I was close to going for plastic surgery to get the perfect face, I am so glad I didn’t because now when I think about it. A pretty face still won’t fulfil what I want.
When I started blogging, I was so worried about my face. Because I thought people only want to see pretty faces. BUT it’s not that, they want good content and personality.
So makeup doesn’t define me, it only enhances my looks. What’s wrong with going out with no makeup? I don’t see anything wrong.
