It's lent again in the christian calender, and since I am a christian, I wanted to do something for it. I have recently become obsessed with makeup so I thought it would be good if I scaled back. Not only on buying, but also on using. I almost always wear makeup, even if it's just a little, so I thought that it would be a good thing, even it were only once a week, to not wear any makeup. So I'm starting No Makeup Mondays
On mondays, I won't wear any makeup. no tinted moisterisers, no eyeshadow, no lipgloss. I think it will help me recongnize my true beauty better. I want to realize that even if I don't have makeup on, and if I have a pimple, that's ok.
Does anyone want to join me on this? It doesn't have to be for lent, I know alot of people out there aren't christian. But I definatly think that our society places a big standard on what beautiful is, and alot of us follow that standard. But we shouldn't have to contour like crazy if we have a plump face, or be scared to walk out in public with a pimple. We should all recongnize that we are awesome the way we are.
You can use moisturizers, or lip balms, I'm going to allow myself that, but only if they are clear. And if you have to choose a different day, thats cool too, I just thought alliteration was fun.
Anyone going to join?
ps I understand that not everyone who wears makeup isn't confident, I still am and i wear it all the time, but we can all still benefit, and maybe be MORE confident when we see who we truly are
~~We are all beautiful~~
