Au Naturel

Recently I’ve had a couple of photos taken of me without any make-up whatsoever. I was feeling good about myself the last couple of days and was confident enough to do it. It’s quite nice to be able to see a photo of yourself without any make-up at all and see what you really, really look like. Not that I wear much heavy make-up daily but there’s still a difference that is seen.
I’d love to encourage more women to take more photos of themselves without make-up, and to feel confident about themselves. I also think it’s a matter of getting used to seeing yourself with no make-up in a photo, and not feeling like you have to be perfect, because I think many of us girls compare ourselves with models and actresses, while we often forget that they wear a lot more make-up, applied by professional make-up artists, in photos than the average woman. Plus they obviously have professional photographers take their photo in the ideal lighting and setting, which automatically makes for more beautiful pictures.

Let’s all go au natural to set the right example for ourselves and others!
