Megan Hartney

Most days I don't wear any makeup at all. Who am I trying to impress? But, being photographed without makeup, though, is always anxiety-provoking for me. I've always struggled with body image confidence and makeup has been a way for me to feel slightly more comfortable in my own skin. If I know I'm going to be photographed - even on an active day of vacation - I put makeup on so that I don't look bad in the photographs. I don't spend a lot of time on makeup and I have no idea how to use highlighter, bronzer, or blush. My makeup routine is just a light foundation, eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara. Honestly, it doesn't make a lot of difference. I'm working on being comfortable photographed in my own skin - recognizing that adding a touch of mascara won't radically change my self-perception.
