Stacey

When I was younger I wore much more makeup than I do now. I wanted to look older, to cover my flaws, and to make myself look like someone else. As I got older, makeup became something I used to enhance my natural beauty.

During the summer, I usually just wear some mascara to make my eyelashes longer to look younger. I will use some cover up just for covering acne and some powder to help polish the skin to make it appear smoother. In winter I'll add a bit of blush so I don't look so pale. I do not like or use liquid foundations anymore because they feel heavy. I also think it settles in my wrinkles and makes me appear older. I also feel makeup irritates my skin and makes my acne worse. It also is quite expensive and a pain to wash off.

Makeup is fun to use if you want to change your look, making you appear older or younger.  I feel more comfortable wearing  less and less as I've became more confident in myself. I feel a confident woman is what makes a woman beautiful, makeup or no makeup.
