I'm very lucky to talk to so many lovely bloggers on a regular basis (total babes) I always feel so inspired by them and love the sense of community that us "beauty bloggers" have and this post is something that really struck a cord with me personally and something that I think everyone should join in with!
#ProjectBareAll is simple - it is all about having confidence without that safety blanket we call make-up.
I, for one, am guilty of wearing make-up near enough all the time and I treasure those days where I feel I don't have to apply it!
Don't get me wrong I love love love make-up.... a little too much really but it has become the norm for me and I do not feel myself or confident enough to go about my daily life without it.
We all have our hang-ups mine range from my small eyes to my sparse eyebrows to my awkwardly shaped nose and don't even get me started on the dark bags under my eyes! But with make-up I feel like I can make myself feel slightly better about those little hiccups on my face.
I've worn a full face of make-up probably since starting high school, which is actually 10 years ago now and for me now the thought of going out or to work with no make-up on is... well.... bloomin' scary!
I think the main thing for me is how different I think (do) I look without it, I've taken a few make-up free pictures in the past and have always had comments come my way from people I know fairly well saying things like "it looked nothing like you" or "you look so different without make-up" - this I obviously took as a bad thing and so it is rare that you will see a make-up free photo of me, well until now!
After reading Megan's fab and honest post I was inspired to join in her journey of becoming more confident without make-up. I'm not saying I'm going to rock up to work tomorrow footloose and make-up free but I need to learn to how to feel good in the skin I'm in and worry less about what others think of me and my face. (In reality, who actually cares?!)
So there it is, my #ProjectBareAll bare face (and arms apparently). The list of things I've picked up on looking at this photo is endless but this project is all about confidence and I need to find mine so this post is going up and I am going to make myself feel good about it!
I urge you all to go and read Megan's post (and follow her amazing blog - it is one of my favs!) and join in yourself whether it be on your blog, Instagram, Twitter or even Facebook - just use the hashtag #projectbareall and rock that bare faced look!

I loved this post so much! I love the message it is spreading through the beauty blogging community!
We need to love the skin we're in and not feel like we have to hide behind make up and clothes to fit in.

Your skin is immaculate you crazy girl! You have nothing to worry about, you silly thing. I understand what you mean though, we're all guilty of putting pressure on ourselves and comparing ourselves to airbrushed celebrities and the like. I know i'm definitely going to be doing this tag soon! Thank-you for the inspo x

You look so pretty :) I hardly ever wear a full face of make-up now. I don't leave the house often so I can't really be bothered applying it, I love the days where I have plans and can smack it all on my face :) x
ReplyDeleteYou look lovely even without makeup. Hats off to you for doing this! I really want to get involved with this campaign x
ReplyDeleteI think if your skin is pretty good, you don't have to wear makeup everyday : ) let your skin rest and breathe! Otherwise, the skin will age faster, pores get clogged, etc. Let your skin breathe on some days : ) x
