Makeup or no makeup?
Honestly, what is the big deal? Why are girls judged on whether or not they apply layers and layers of foundation to make their skin look flawless? No matter what the media may get people to think, no one is actually flawless and makeup is just a cover up to one's natural beauty.
It took me about five years to realize this and it all started when I was a freshman in college. Walking on campus, going to class, and studying in the library was a daily routine. I was stuck in my own world and my only focus was to get my stuff done and go home or to work. The Twitter account, Oakland Confessions, did not phase me one bit. I was not concerned with having guys tweet about me and I started to realize that this kind of attention and my makeup was the least of my worries. As I started to not wear makeup each day, I was more comfortable in my own skin. I felt that even if I looked tired, who cares? College makes you tired. I finally felt so much better being free and having healthier skin
From there on out, I gave up trying to impress everyone with makeup unless it was a special occasion. Girls should never feel the need to wear makeup to impress anyone. I have been told numerous times, that girls look and feel better without makeup because it is more natural and they are able to be comfortable in their own skin.
Makeup-less in college is the best thing that has happened to me and I encourage you all to go out and take your first makeup-less selfie. Feel good about yourself because you are beautiful and no one should ever make you feel anything less!
