I’m starting to believe heavily attempt to convince myself that I can look beautiful without make-up. I’ve posted briefly before about my severe make-up addiction. I never leave the house without being fully made up. Sometimes when I get my make-up on I feel worse about myself than I did to begin with when I was bare faced. 

I need to stop conforming to someone else’s idea of beauty. If a full made up face were my idea of beauty, fine, but I’m realizing that isn’t necessarily the case anymore. 

I kind of just want to be free. Yet, that’s hard when one day out of 100 you wake up and feel beautiful and the rest…you just want to hide.

agentfenris said: Kudos to you. Kick make-up. You have a beautiful face and don’t need it. But beyond that, why do you need to feel beautiful? Is it for you or for the world? Being perceived as pretty = self-esteem. But it works the other way round as well.

micsims said: It’s cliche but true beauty is in the eye of the beholder in one culture one thing might be considered beautiful but in others it wouldn’t be all that attractive. Plus at the end of the day all you have is yourself so why do others opinions matter?
