I didn't wear any makeup this week. Not that I generally wear a lot of makeup; I'm not one of those people who cakes themselves in layer upon layer of "beauty" products. That being said, I find myself outside of my comfort zone when I don't have at least a little bit of cosmetic support.
This week I thought I'd try something different. There have been enough stressors in my life recently that I figured any way to make my daily routine less complicated would be a good thing. I also thought that dropping makeup would give me a chance to become comfortable with my all-natural self. If I could get through a week, maybe I could give up makeup altogether!
Nope.
It's been a week and I cannot count the number of people who have told me I look "tired," "sick," or "pale." There have been those who haven't initially recognized me and a few who have asked if everything was alright.
Fuck.
Moral of the story: a) don't experiment with your physical appearance; b) if you're going to do it, be ready to take some hits.

DUUUUUDE.
I did this last semester. And then over break I saw some friends while wearing make up and they stopped and looked at me confused. I was like "WHAT?"
"You look pretty today... Something is different..."
aaaahhh make up. As much as we like to think inner beauty is what matters...sometimes it doesn't :P
I agree with Rosalind, I bet you looked fine.
