Break Up With your Makeup!
I am one of those people who loves makeup. I have drawers and drawers of it. I can’t stop buying cosmetics, and I think they are totally fun to own! But the truth is, I don’t wear them that often, why? Because the less makeup you wear, the better your skin looks!
No, seriously, try it. It’s a perpetual cycle, and we should all break up with our makeup today!
Why You Should Break Up with Your Makeup
- Makeup is making most of us look older. I know we think it hides spots and blemishes, but the truth is, it’s just living in our laugh lines and nose crinkles. Caked up in there, clogging up pores. Ugh, just thinking about it gives me the willies!
- Makeup costs an insane amount of money. I once tallied up how much money I’d spent on my makeup collection, and it wasn’t pretty. For that amount, I could have taken a trip to Italy. Seriously. It’s a no-brainer– experiences are better than makeup.
- Makeup takes too much time! Oh my gosh, how much do you hate your husband because he is ready to go in five minutes flat? Well, guess what? If you stop wearing makeup you TOO can be ready in no time at all! The key is healthy skin care anyway! If you want to be able to show off your amazing, skin, keep it clean– don’t muss it up with a bunch of makeup!
- And finally, you should break up with your makeup because you are beautiful. I promise. Makeup doesn’t make us beautiful, our lines, our freckles, the things that make us who we are– that’s what makes us beautiful. Why would you want to hide that?
Hey! If I can break up with my makeup, SO CAN YOU!
