One of the first things many of us do every morning is cleanse, powder, and paint our faces.\u00a0 The cleansing part makes perfect sense, but what about the makeup? Why wear it?
\nIt\u2019s a question we don\u2019t honestly ask ourselves very often, and the answer is a little different for everyone. Some wear it to cover blemishes and hide the parts of their appearance they don\u2019t like, some use it to feel more confident and put-together, and others just love the creative twist it ads to their style. Many women also think makeup makes them look more competent, and survey data from the New York Times seems to support that idea. We shared the Times article with our fans on Facebook and responses ranged from the opinion that \u201cless is more,\u201d to the idea that it makes you \u201clook more polished and more confident.\u201d
\nWe\u2019re all about natural beauty here at\u00a0Clarisonic<\/a>, so we tend to like wearing only enough makeup to enhance the features that are already there. Makeup can be fun and help you stand out, but it\u2019s also important to know and be comfortable in your own skin, and realize that you are a beautiful individual with or without it.
\nLast May, two middle school girls from Phoenix, Arizona named Gabby Klein and Michaela Good issued a challenge called \u201cOnly You,\u201d encouraging girls to show off their natural appearance for a day and go without any make-up. They were frustrated by the unattainable beauty standards set by Hollywood, the media, and photoshop-loving women\u2019s magazines, and decided to try and encourage girls everywhere to embrace their own skin. So far they\u2019ve received national news coverage and support from women and girls all over the country. In North Carolina, a UNC-Charlotte educator named Rosie Molinary is also encouraging her students to try going a day without makeup. \u201cOur skin is neither perfect nor bad,\u201d she says, \u201cand showing it in its natural form can be refreshing.\u201d
\nWe couldn\u2019t agree more, and we love the idea that more women are going without makeup or aiming for a simple, natural look. It\u2019s all about letting your inner\u2014and outer\u2014glow shine through.\u00a0 The more you take care of your skin and let it breathe, the better you\u2019ll feel about showing it to the world.
\nWhat are your thoughts? Could you live without makeup?<\/p>\n
