Do you know what No Make-Up November is? Well, let me tell you...
What It's About
This is a challenge to girls everywhere to NOT wear ANY makeup AT ALL for the whole entire month of November. Just 31 days of no make-up. No mascara, no "natural looking" make-up. None at all!!!
My Story
I took this challenge for the very first time last November. It really helped my self-esteem to have people say I looked beautiful without make-up. I loved it so much that I haven't worn any since! A WHOLE YEAR of no make-up! I seriously can't believe it's been that long! It was strange the first week when I would wake up and see myself in the mirror without make-up, but eventually I got used to it and then I didn't even miss it. Plus I had a whole extra 15 minutes in my day that I didn't have to spend by "putting on my face". I love not wearing make-up. It is freeing of my time and my face! I have found that I am a whole lot less likely to wash my face though since before (when I wore make-up) I was religious about washing my face every night! Now I have to make an effort to do this, but that's not a huge deal.

You go girl!!!! I am so proud of you!!!! I too am a non makeup user. God didn't make mistakes, He made masterpieces! If we use makeup of any kind, we are telling God that He messed up. Wow! What a way to compliment the Creator! You are way prettier without the makeup!!! Again, I am really proud of you!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sara! I love that! That is such a great way to put it: God didn't make mistakes! :)

Well, November is almost over, but I may try this for the tail end. :) You look lovely and are quite an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Kelly! That is sweet of you! :) Just because this is a November challenge doesn't mean you can't do it any other month of the year! :) I've been without make up for one year now.
