This has to be one of the first posts in a very long time that I'm not wearing eye makeup! Granted there's a bit o' mascara, but that's nothing compared to my usual over the top cat eyed liner. I decided to don "bare eyes" after looking through all of the old photobooth pictures on my MacBook. In almost every picture I'm makeup free, and I really enjoy the look of it. Lately I've worn heavy eye makeup (heavy for me, at least) on a daily basis, and though I didn't realize it, I've actually become a bit uncomfortable with the way I look without said makeup. All of my old photographs inspired me to embrace the way my eyes look naturally, which is what I've been doing for the past few days! Even though makeup is a fairly significant part of my "look", I think it's healthy for me to go without any at all on occasion :) I also had my bangs chopped a bit by my friend David, can you tell? The length was getting to be a bit much, as I could hardly see out from behind my thick hair. It's also nice that you can now see my eyebrows; I put a lot of work into those bushy caterpillars.
Also, a huge thank you to my beautiful boyfriend for giving me his corduroy jacket. I was actually contemplating buying one of my own, so I'm very excited. I love that it's burgundy too, one of my favorite colors!

I've actually been meaning to get a pair of heeled desert boots for awhile, so I was stoked to see these up on the My Hot Shoes website! The color is just what I was looking for, and they're actually really comfortable.

Thankfully I have the entire day off from work and school, so I'll be spending it doing some much needed errands and seeing my friends. Have a wonderful day, everyone!

ReplyDeleteWow, so amazing!
ReplyDeleteAgreed with Kamila! My makeup routine consists of only mascara and has only ever been that/ I like the look of a natural eye and a few brushes of mascara.

You look fantastic with or without makeup. I personally think without is more appealing, but I say do whatever makes you feel comfortable. Great look as well — I adore the shoes.
ReplyDeleteI used to wear COPIOUS amounts of makeup. Foundation, coverup, powder, blush, eyebrow filler, multiple eyeshadows, liquid eyeliner, mascara ... It was a lot of work. I ended up toning down the eyeliner (I used to do a very extreme cat eye) for a couple years, and eventually phased it out completely and switched to brown mascara (I'm a pale redhead so black is a really unnatural look for me). Then, about a year ago, I decided I was too reliant on makeup. I didn't feel myself without it, my sensitive skin was in terrible shape, and I just felt awful about the way I looked. So I decided to stop wearing makeup entirely. Now all I do is curl my eyelashes and slap on a bit of blush. Wearing less makeup makes me feel a whole lot better about myself, and my eyes and skin are much happier too. I hope you can find similar comforts whether you choose to continue makeup-free or not..
Hi Madeline!
DeleteThanks so much for sharing that with me. I think it's great that you strayed away from wearing so much makeup!
I've actually never worn much makeup other than a bit of concealer under my eyes and eyeliner; definitely a lot less than most of the people I know. Personally, I enjoy the way I look in eyeliner/lipstick; it's all dependent upon the "vibe" I want my outfit to create that day. :)
Amazing look :3
ReplyDeleteHi! I love the jacket! If you don't mind me asking, what size is it? I am just trying to figure out what size I should buy from the online store as they do not have it in stock in the actual store. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt's a XXS!
