No make-up shot (ok, ok, I'm wearing foundation. NO ONE sees me without foundation, for the good of mankind. Oh, and I posted a dorky one for you, Hailey.)
How many of you can relate to that??I, unfortunately, can relate COMPLETELY!!! My mother in-law (bless her heart) never knows why I look so crappy when I'm not wearing make-up, (last time she thought it was the streaks in my hair that were washing me out... either that or I was sick), but she definitely notices that I do!! For the record, let it be known that I'm extremely jealous of women who can go without make-up and they don't look sick, hung over, tired, ten years older, washed-out or dead.

hmm... I think I can get away with it, or at least i don't care what anyone else thinks - spent the last 3 mo. without practically, but I am enjoying putting the darn'd stuff on again now that i back at work :)
I was just thinking about this today as I left the house with wet hair and no makeup... my acne scars and sun damage spots in full view for everyone to enjoy. Two months ago I would never have left the house like that, but having a baby has changed all that! Liberating or depressing? Not sure. And for the record, I think you look cute sans makeup, Sassy!
Haha! I'm definitely one of those people who needs makeup, for the good of mankind. I'm so pasty and pale without it, if I go without it, people always ask me if I'm sick. Thanks goodness for makeup!!!
I know it's totally shallow, but there have been times where those celebrity gossip mags show celebrities with no makeup on their covers. I confess I've felt better while standing in line at the grocery checkout, seeing proof that the beautiful people look gross without it, too.
Ah, man!! I convinced myself that cover-up didn't count as make-up! Sometimes I am running late for work and decide to "skip" my make-up and just do it when I get to work (I'm there before most people anyway, so I can get away with it). But skipping my make-up still means I put cover-up on my eye baggage and facial splotches, throw on some blush, and add a touch of mascara. I'm such a fraud! Whenever I TRULY leave the house without any make-up, I wear my glasses. Somehow, glasses camouflage the death-bed look and give off a "I'm working hard because I'm smart" look instead :)
I like Merry's comment. By the way you look beautiful without makeup. These days I'm going without makeup too. The other day I had to take baby Z to the doctor and I ran into the bathroom for a quick check to make sure I looked ok and boy was I surprised. I looked like shit!! I decided to throw on some cover up and mascara (while Z man was screaming at me) and decided that was just going to have to do. I mean the doctor doesn't care, right! I miss the days of getting ready and feeling like I look good.
