So, I saw this contest a while ago and I thought I'd finally post a picture. It is really difficult for me to get a pic of myself that I like, so I'll use the same one from my sidebar.
This really isn't hard for me, since I never wear makeup! I hate the stuff!! The last time I wore more than a little powder for shine and lip gloss is my wedding day. After we got married and I was getting ready to be seen at the reception, my aunt and cousin spent a while trying to convince me to get made up. I fought it for a while and I told them that my husband hated makeup. They didn't believe me and said that he wouldn't notice. I finally consented and they put some on. I popped my head out to talk to him and the FIRST thing he noticed was the makeup. Anyway, I haven't worn any since then. (Not even at my other reception.) I am happy about this and so is Aaron!! I think the scarier pictures are of me wearing makeup. Prom was scary...literally, I looked ghostly. Maybe I never really learned how to apply it well. I also hate the feeling of having anything on my face. I don't like sunscreen, but I wear it when I have to so that I don't regret it later. I don't like the way I look in makeup. I feel that I don't look like myself. When I wear makeup, I feel like I have to look in the mirror all the time and I don't like that! So, here I am!

I would LOVE to go without makeup. I love the natural look. Unfortunately, I have SEVERE acne, so I do like to cover that up, obviously. Then, it becomes to obvious I'm wearing cover up if I don't put on color and eyeliner as well. So, I rarely go without it. Congratulations on your pretty skin. You're beautiful.
Thanks!!
awe you look beautiful! look at ur hair. women would kill for that hair!
I was going to say something about your hair, too! You look great, and it's so good to "know" yourself well enough with what works for you!

Steph--It's funny that you say that. I feel like I have no clue what I am doing with my hair. I am in the process of trying to decide how to cut it. It is usually really a pain for me! It's probably a good thing that I don't wear makeup...I'd have to figure out how to do it, too!
That's great! You don't need make-up. You've got a beautiful complexion!
You are one of those that look great without makeup! I, however, am not. I know what you mean about having gunk on your face though. I use a powder type makeup and never feel like I have makeup on like i did with all the heavier foundations I used to wear.
