So, I may be crazy but...Everyone tells me I have perfect skin, makeup, eyebrows...etc and I tell them I do not. Nobody is perfect. Yet, we're all still beautiful. I just wanted to post on here the face behind the cosmetics. I think some of you should do the same too. It would be fun, heighten your self-esteem... I shall do mine in a comment.
You have to remember though, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Like for instance... my family says my eyes are awesome but all I see is the downturn in them and my veins that show, but they don't care, they don't see those little imperfections I throw into my mind. We're all gorgeous IN our imperfections, they make us who we are.
Like my nose, I hate it, but I love it, because it shapes my face and I would never get a nose job to get rid of it. :)
But GO GURL!
I love this post it's so true!
I saw it yesterday and knew I HAD to post on here. So I did my makeup one one side of my face today... I even did it on my best side, so all of the gross stuff on the opposite side is showing! I didn't edit my photo either. Just cropped it.
@Smashley I agree. I don't like some of my features either, but I wouldn't change them. They are what make me... me! :D
YOUR EYES ARE ASTONISHING *_*
Anyway - Thank you! I am so glad to see someone joining in on this. You are a very gorgeous person, inside and out. You do look gorgeous without makeup, though! This is great.
Ooh, I'll deffo post a picture tomorrow!! =] Great idea and it's so true.. We just have to learn to love our flaws because they are what make us who we are!! =] x
@Amymay WOW, you have amazing grey eyes! Very striking.
@Twizzie you still have great skin without foundation and I used to have the same eyebrows last year. Luckily after 18 years of tweezing, I was able to grow them back so my classmates wouldn't give me sharpie brows anymore. :D
Haha! Thank you! My dumb self shaved my brows off when I was 11 (and I am now 17) and they have yet to fully grow back...I mean, I clean them up (random hairs here and there) but that's all there is for me :(
I think you look gorgeous with, and without makeup. I am all excited due to you responding to this. >.< lol!
I like the idea of this post a lot. I have already done my makeup for the day but I will do my best to find some time to do this and participate this week. xx
@Twizzie Thank you! It was a fantastic idea, I really enjoyed seeing the contrast between the halves. BTW, you can draw an awesome brow! I sometimes miss having partial brows because you can be so creative with them.
@Mandy I am keeping an eye out for yours, don't forget to blog it! :)
What an awesome topic! You are all gorgeous with and without makeup! It is true that we tend to see our own flaws amplified while others don't see them at all. For instance, I haven't even posted a pic of me WITH makeup because my skills are nothing compared to everyone else's here that I've seen. I will try to be brave though and rise to this challenge out of support because it is such a great post. Awesome ladies!
@Heather - Sometimes it's a pain....but I do enjoy the occasional blue eyebrow, or deeply defined brow. It's fun. :) thank you lots!
@Mandy - PLEASE do! I'd love to see your post :)
@Nickie - Girl, it's a place for all beauty, all teachings, all styles...post up whatchya got! There is no mean criticism (I've yet to receive any criticism period) and it's all for fun and interaction. I would like to see you post some stuff!
I love this topic and how it is progressing! As soon as I can, I'm definitely going to jump in here and post a picture. I think that you are most beautiful when you are yourself regardless of what you wear on your face. I know it's cheesy to say, but I think beauty comes from within and that's what everyone needs to focus on. Makeup to me is just another avenue to creativity and to enhance the beauty that you already possess.
@Heather H: My eyes are actually blue lol. But thankyou so much! I can't believe you are 32! :O I really thought you were in your 20's!
Glad to see more people posting on here! I think more people should brave it out and post a picture. If I can do it during a random break out, I'm sure anyone can! :D
<3
I can't believe the progression of this topic. Wow! :) Just made a video letting other youtubers know of it; and I would like to say you are ALL awesome!
DESPITE the fact that I look angry (which I'm not, just tired)...I don't think I have to wear makeup to look good, I just enjoy the ritual of putting it on and being able to use myself as a live canvas! Sure, I have an uneven skintone, some blemishes, and maybe even a stray brow hair or two, but who doesn't? With or without makeup, I look in the mirror every day and smile :D
Yeeeaaay! I'm happy.
@Ashleigh S. - I agree with you 100%. Without makeup, I'd be lost. I can create so much, and learn so much from it. It's just awesome. Your eyes are very striking to me, also! Beautiful.
@Jalaina S. - Thank you :) I am happy to have made it. I was going to contact Jasmine directly, and see if she could post an article...but I figured this would do just fine! Seems as though it has!

I've been dealing with severe acne my whole pre-teen/teenage/& adult life so far - there is no way I'm posting a bare face photo! XD
Total props for those who are able to though. :)

When I see my face I have some hyperpigmentation, large pores and wrinkles.
This reminded me of a really cool genetic portrait project I saw before, except it's relatives faces who are halved: http://genetic.ulriccollette.com/
