Celebrating Beautiful, Bare-Faced You!

[tastelikewater]

The inspiration for this thread is multi-fold and long-winded! For one, I’m still feeling all of the love from Galentine’s Day, Valentine’s Day, and the general camaraderie I’ve recently seen around my favorite threads. Secondly, I’m heading out to Sephora in a bit, and I’m feeling self-conscious about going in bare-faced because my rosacea is flaring. I decided to double-down, and not only walk out the door with no makeup, but also post a picture here. That got me thinking about all of the ways that we celebrate makeup and each other in this community, and how wonderful it would be to extend that same kindness and positivity to our makeup-free selves! 

TL;DR if you’re feeling inspired, post a picture of your beautiful bare-faced self, maybe share a bit about yourself, and be prepared for an onslaught of love! To start us off: I’m Laura, 34 years old, and I’m a school counselor in the great city of Chicago. I love soccer, craft beer, and of course the BIC ❤️

@ShortErica TY...and same about the classes.   I think I took every class twice!

@danielledanielle Congrats on the career change! If I may say, the look you did on yourself is just as good (if not better) than the CM 😄

[danielledanielle]

Awww, thank you @tastelikewater !

Great thread! 🙋 Hi, guys! I'm Michelle and it's great to see all your faces! I'm 51, I wear my hair up in a clip ALL of the time 😁 and I work at a Subway restaurant. I really enjoy it and the owners are good to me. My skin has improved so much over this last year! I love the BIC, it's a place that I feel comfortable, like you are all friends and I learn so much!! It's great to read comments in all the groups, you feel like you get to know people a little bit. 😁 🌈 Thank you to everyone for sharing experiences!

Hi

Newbie here!!!! My name is LaVeda aka LovelyLola100 and I am 38 year old mother of an 18 year old young man and a 2 year old mini man...... Yup, there is a 16 year difference between my boys. I am currently studying for my MBA and also applying for Nursing School. I know, a lot right? I also do hair and make-up on the side. Im no professional, I just love beauty ❤️

I love make-up. I use to be a MAC girl and would get dolled up everyday but with a 2 year old, sleep deprivation is taking its toll. Although I love MAC products because they were my introduction into makeup but I have found so many great brands throughout the years.........

                        This is me bare face. Today, I used a 24k gold mask.

Currently, I am looking for a skin-care routine that is simple yet effective. I hope to gain lots of knowledge here at BIC 😉

Aww, so nice to have you here! Your skin looks amazoing! 💕💕💕 @LovelyLola100
