7 Reasons I Choose Not To Wear Makeup Every Day

I don't think makeup is really necessary.

7 Reasons I Choose Not To Wear Makeup Every Day
Michelle Hamilton

Putting makeup on is rather time-consuming and sometimes frustrating. It's nice to look nice every once in a while, but is makeup really necessary? Looking good shouldn't always involve makeup, because putting it on and leaving it on for hours is a struggle. I think makeup is a waste of time most of the time and there are so many reasons I don't want to waste my time applying it.

1. You can sleep in longer.

A lot of girls are willing to set their alarms earlier in order to apply a full face of makeup every day. I'd much rather spend that time sleeping than putting on makeup.

2. You can rub your eyes as much as you want.

When you have makeup on, you can't just rub your eyes. You have to be careful not to ruin your makeup, if your eye is itchy or if you just like to rub your eyes. Not wearing makeup and being able to really rub your eyes is so satisfying.

3. You're not uncomfortable all day.

I don't know about every other girl but if I have makeup on, I'm just not comfortable. I feel like my skin can't breathe, and I'm constantly worrying about my mascara getting under my eyes. It just feels so much better to let my skin breathe and not have to worry about my makeup getting messed up.

4. Your face breaks out.

Whenever I wear makeup, my face seems to break out the next day. I know this isn't true for all people, but it does show that its probably not good for our skin to be covered with goopy makeup all the time.

5. It takes a long time to do.

Girls can spend hours trying to perfect their makeup, but is it really worth it? It takes forever and at the end of the day, you just take it off anyways.

6. Makeup is expensive.

By not wearing makeup, you wouldn't have to replace your makeup as often, saving you a ton of money, because we all know that it can be extremely expensive.

7. I don't see the need for it

No girl needs makeup, whether they think they do or not. Every girl looks pretty naturally.

Whether you wear makeup every day or not, the important thing is to feel confident and happy in your own skin. So don't be afraid to ditch the mascara and rock the natural look.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
