No Makeup Friday

All my life, I've been VERY meticulous about my skin. I could stumble in my apartment at 4 in the morning, still have a glass in my hand, but you better believe I'm washing my face before I go to sleep.

Today I am not wearing a single stitch of makeup. I know that I have a party tonight and I'll want to have smoky eyes, rosy cheeks and pink lips, so I am giving my face the day off. Does anyone else do this?

I love makeup, but I have to say that I'm very comfortable without it. I absolutely adore getting my makeup done, sitting in the chair as someone else blushes, buffs and puffs. But I don't like the way it looks when I do it. I'm just not good at it - never have been.

Sometimes I feel sexiest with just a tan and lip balm.

Perhaps tomorrow will be No Makeup Saturday.

  1. I definitely have no make-up days, especially on the weekend when I know I have a big night out! That being said, even on no make-up days, I always put on my SPF moisturizer!

  3. I am horrible at makeup, which is why I'm getting it professionally done for my wedding. Every day though, I usually only have one cover up if needed, eye makeup and lip gloss. I can't deal with "putting on my face" every day!

  4. I'm guilty of never leaving my house without makeup. I can't help it, I'm blonde. I look ill without it, like I lost my eyelashes in a fire.

  5. I wish I could. But, I cannot ever leave the house without make-up. Even if I am just running to the store!

  6. I have no make-up days which make the make-up days/nights more special:) Besides your skin does need a break and good care...even after a full night of fun:)

  8. If I have nothing going on in the office, I will go without makeup. I think it is nice to let my skin breathe now and again.

  12. Everyday is a no makeup day for me :-)
    Burts bee's lip balm and coconut oil the night before keeps my skin moisturized :-)
    Partly because I dont know how to use make up right and I'm lazy to learn.

  15. I really think it is very important to let the skin breath from time to time and the country air here has given me a natural flush. I also allow my nails to breath to sometimes, just having a manicure and no varnish, the nails still look so healthy.....

  16. Yes, I usually go makeup-free on weekends. When I was in grad school, I went for weeks without makeup and got so used to my natural look that I liked it better than makeup look!

    I also don't like to put on makeup on the days when I get a facial (or treated my skin with a homemade mask).
