So Ive realised recently how often I mindlessly put makeup on. Not because I feel this deep need to wear it, but because its just what us women do! Then last weekend we were sitting talking about all sorts of things and makeup came into the conversation too, which is what started all these rambling thoughts...
I realise that I'm not going to be in my 20's forever, obviously. The tough truth is that as one gets older makeup becomes more necessary (depending on your views, philosophy etc.), generally speaking! I'm 24 and honestly I don't really need to wear makeup. Yeah its nice to get dressed up and 'make-upped' on a night out, but the day to day things...why?? So yesterday I decided to stop wearing makeup every day. Not at as a rule, but to stop putting it on mindlessly. The question I want to be asking myself is why? why do I want to put makeup on? If after thinking about it I still want to wear some, then sure I will, but if I realise that Im just putting it on as a habit then NO! I want to be me and look like me, Im not perfect and Im not flawless (by a long shot), but Im a healthy 24 year old, who is focussing on becoming more and more healthy! Id rather be sporting glowing skin and healthy rosy cheeks because Im beaming with health, as opposed to because Ive got the greatest makeup kit (:
Less makeup means less hiding from health...for me at least! And that's what Ive been pondering on today...
