Embrace the Bare Face

[BoundlessLove]

Who else has gone to a “makeup free” lifestyle?
Anyone out there choose to
go with their natural beauty?

As I aged, my skin became more sensitive to most products out there. Especially mascara, eye liner, and eye shadow. I tried so many different “dermatologist recommended” brands with no success.

I gave up wearing makeup over ten years ago.
No foundation, No powder, No blush, No eye makeup.
On special occasions, I will wear light lipstick or lipgloss.
I do keep chapstick with me in my purse.

Let me hear your “Make-up free” stories.

Please Note: This thread is not intended to bash makeup wearers.

I used to get my eyebrows waxed and I kept them shaped, but became allergic to the products and even plucking them would cause red itchy skin. (have eczema)
So gave it up.

My mom never really learned how to apply makeup, as such neither did I. As a kid I just didn't have any interest in it, as an adult I don't have time for it. Sometimes I think it would be fun, I definitely do costume makeup for Halloween and stuff like that, but I almost never go out anywhere I would feel "deserves" it. And I have other things I'd prefer to spend my time and money on.
