What could you try for the first time?

I could try going out of the house without makeup on I suppose. But why would I?

My face is no longer young and fresh. It needs all the help it can get. And anyway I was kind of a late bloomer to wearing make-up so I feel like it’s still kind of a fun thing.

I’d give anything for natural beauty. Mascara and lip gloss and out the door? You lucky people.

Then again I really do believe in makeup. I see women without any makeup on, who I really think could benefit from some, just a tad, and I imagine putting it on them. I imagine how much better they would look.

Each to their own I guess.

My sisters & I in the garden, I’m in the middle

    Give it a try! 😊 Mascara and lip gloss is a great subtle choice, when in a rush. 👍🏻

    We tend to judge ourselves very harshly. My wife rarely wears makeup and when she does, it’s almost weird. There is something to be said about natural beauty. You may feel you need makeup, but I bet you are beautiful without it, too.

    Not sure I’m allowed to comment here but I think women are way too harsh on themselves.

    Your makeup comment was funny. Not that you need it, I don’t think you do, but that others could benefit from it.

      If only it were socially acceptable to just pull them aside and dab a bit here n there on them ☺️

        😂 Can you imagine? “Hey, can you come here for a minute? I have something for you, girl. Yeah, you need a little makeup, my friend…” That would be hilarious.
