my grandparents lived through the depression and spent the rest of their lives stuffing cash under the mattress and hoarding old egg cartons in the garage, so i can’t wait to find out what weird neuroses i’m gonna pick up over the next few years

that video of somebody putting makeup on an egg and somehow making that egg looks exactly like 89% of instagram just explains makeup culture more thoroughly than anyone on here ever could

in case you guys don’t know what i’m talking about

[misspiggy]

honestly...it’s ok to just use your skills on yourself! sewing clothes only you to wear, making art to hang up in your own personal area, singing and recording songs for you only to listen to...like not everything has to be for other people’s consumption!

as someone went from wearing makeup everyday two years ago to someone who never wears makeup now, two things have happened:

1. I actually sincerely, genuinely prefer the way I look without makeup more than with it. Nowadays I don’t think a lot of people realize that the more often you wear makeup, the more foreign your face will look to you without it, and vice versa. I’ve gotten to a point where my bare face feels the most me.

2. When I do wear makeup, it’s actually fun! Because I’ve decided to give up on concealer and foundation and contouring, it really becomes more about the artistic expression. It’s fun to wear bright orange blush, glittery highlighter, and pastel eyeshadow. Makeup should be no different than a kitschy accessory, or a fun outfit.

I actually highly recommend any of you do the same, especially if you’re someone who does wear makeup everyday (and if that’s the case, I challenge you). 

Start by going a couple days, not during the weekend or a time you know you’ll be home, without any makeup at all. Go for a week. Then two weeks. Then a month. Go to work, go to school, go to the store, go out to dinner, hang out with your friends. 

And here’s the most important part: whenever you see your reflection, smile.

Doing this not only helped me feel like makeup was not necessary to feel presentable (something that I thought I already believed but internalized more of a dependence than I’d thought) but also helped me to have a positive association with my own face! I hope this can help motivate people that want to be less dependent on makeup and more comfortable in their own skin!

oh can I also just say???

I am 21 now, and I started wearing makeup regularly when I was around 13-14. I’m going to guess most of the women that wear makeup daily could say the same. 

So when you think about it, the majority of makeup-wearing women have not seen their true, unfiltered, makeup-free Adult Faces. 

Like yeah, you see what you look like when you take your makeup off at night. But unless you go at least a month without it, you haven’t really seen your face. You haven’t seen your face without yesterday’s eyeliner still sort of smudged. You haven’t seen how clear your skin could potentially be. You haven’t seen all your freckles on your cheeks when you smile. You haven’t seen how alive you look when your cheeks and nose get flushed. You haven’t seen all the beautiful colors the hyper pigmentation add to your face. I am an adult, and I’m just now finding out what I look like.
