I have been wanting to do a before and after pic with and without makeup.
Today I finally did that. I wanted to see if I was at that point where makeup really doesn't help.
I did a quick foundation, blush, eye shadow, mascara, eyebrow.
To be honest not much difference. I think my dark circles and were worse.
Blush gave me some color. Mascara on top lashes brightens my eyes. Eyebrows just need grooming.
I think my money is better spent on good skin care.
If I'm going somewhere special then I will take the time to do some special makeup but no more makeup to run to the store.
I'm a bit vain I guess but I didn't inherit a lot of natural beauty and I like to look groomed.

All of you that have already ditched the makeup. You're smart!

Anyone else take the challenge?

My husband has been trying to tell me this for quite a while.
I guess it will be like when I went gray. Takes getting used to then you never go back.

Are you going to show us the pictures?
I think you're right! I kinda like my face better with no make-up.
(Well, neither way actually, but futile thinking about it)

Hahaha, no way I'll show you! I think its best to just take great care of our skin. Your picture looks great!
 
I only put a little bit of blusher on and a pale lipstick when I go out, so not really made-up per se.... the only time I put a foundation on with Mascara et al is if I'm going somewhere special.. In the avatar I have on here currently , I had no make -up on at all, never wore it in the sun, no point, ... I just wore sun protection.... I was 58 in that picture . Hair bleached by the sun and swimming once or twice a day

And you look nice!
I think I'll like not dealing with it. Your smile works wonders.
 
I don't wear makeup every day or when I'm home alone. I don't wear it to work in the yard. I don't wear it to the beach. I don't wear it for a quick trip to the grocery store but if I'm going somewhere where I have to interact with people for an extended period of time, I'll wear it. Going out to dinner or out for the evening with friends, yes, I'll wear it. I like to look my best on those occasions and a little makeup helps. It's part of looking well groomed.
