5 day 'No Makeup Challenge'

Hi guys!

As I haven't posted in a while, I thought up an idea that should hopefully help you build your confidence, self esteem and enhance your natural beauty.

Everyone is beautiful.

Once you start wearing makeup, people seem to lose sight of their natural beauty. I was talking to somebody a few days ago and I said, "I look terrible without makeup on!" and they said, "You think that's how you look" and it's true, makeup distorts our view of "pretty" and can often make us feel as if it's the only way we can put our best foot forward.

Sure,  I understand there are lots of things about ourselves that we don't like, but we have to learn to accept this and be grateful for the face we have been blessed with.

Now, here is the challenge! :)

So... You can go without makeup for 5 days (I believe in you!) 

RULES:

  1. No makeup!
  2. You can do your normal skincare regime.
  3. The full 5 days must be completed.
  4. Do whatever you would usually do (don't hide!) 
TIPS:
  1. Drink plenty of water.
  2. After waking up, place two cold spoons over the eyes and under the eyes for around 5 minutes to  reduce puffiness due to water retention.
  3. Cleanse, tone, moisturise.
  4. Place teabags/cucumber on the eyes to reduce dark circles.
  5. Moisturize the lips using vaseline or beeswax lip balm.
  6. You can curl lashes with warm fingers!
  7. Pinch cheeks gently to get a natural flush.
  8. Smack lips a little bit to bring rosy colour to the surface.
  9. Sleep well!
Doing this challenge may not nessasarily change your life, but it might help you look from a different perspective. 

Thanks for reading and keep smiling, you're beautiful! x
