I sometimes go weeks without wearing makeup.
I know this is nothing particularly shocking or juicy. For some women this would be a big deal in and of itself, for some it wouldn’t be anything unusual. But since I blog about beauty and style, most people assume I must wear at least some makeup every day.
It’s not that I don’t like makeup, and I do feel like I look better with it. But when I don’t feel good, or I’m super-busy, or in the summer when it’s like 90 degrees in the shade–I can’t be bothered. I rub in my moisturizer and slick on some lip balm and run out the door.

I like this secret! I do like make up too but I usually don’t wear a whole lot. Sure sometimes it is fun to play with it but especially in summer I just put on some tinted moisturizer and it is fine.

When it gets hot all thoughts of wearing makeup go out the window :P no, no, no!

I’m the same way! Shhhh!!!! :) If I’m just hanging around the house or even just running to the grocery store, I rarely bother with much, if anything, in terms of makeup. My skin may look terrible, but that’s not really THAT important to me. Makeup is fun and it CAN make you look better, but it’s not necessary in my mind! :)

Haha, your secret is safe with me! I guess it’s a good thing to be comfortable in one’s own skin.

I go weeks without wearing make-up too! Have a ton of it, love it but am mostly just lazy to apply it. Thanks for linking up with us.

At least I’m not the only one! Thanks for stopping by!

Well, I guess my secret would be that I can’t be caught in public without makeup on. Except at the gym.

Nothing wrong with that either :)

You know what? I think that’s great. My opinion (as a fellow beauty blogger!) is that makeup and style are supposed to be fun. The minute you feel like you can’t leave the house without makeup on, it stops being fun. I say more power to ya! ;)

Aw, thanks :) It’s funny, because when I was in high school I wouldn’t leave the house without makeup, and yet I had no idea what I was doing, so I’m sure I looked worse by wearing it! Live and learn.

Hehe! I know what you mean about not wearing makeup. On the weekdays, I’m always running late to work, so I just swipe some gel over my brows to keep them in place and I’m out the door. On the weekends, I do make the effort and add eyeliner and blush. :D

I’m with you on the brows! If my brows are good I figure the rest can slide :)
