This week, Franca from Oranges and Apples is hosting a visual Fashion Beauty Friend Friday. She asked to see us all with out any makeup on, so without further ado here are my makeup free pics.

This is straight out of the shower after blow drying my hair.

As an inherently lazy soul, I don’t usually wear a lot of makeup. However, I almost always wear foundation. I started wearing foundation when I was 15 years old to cover up my bad skin (and trust me when I say I had bad skin!). I still use the same foundation I used back when I was 15, actually (I suppose that’s proof that I’m just as pale as ever).  Although, my skin has calmed down a little since then.

However, my skin still breaks out very easily. I have had a tough time getting it under control. Thankfully I found my “miracle” products, so my skin is under control as long as I remember to use said product.

I tend to see my relationship with makeup as a really fun and colorful accessory. Most days I’m lazy and just do the standard foundation, blush, mascara. However, when I’m in the mood I’ll go all out. I tend to play up my eyes so I own tons of eyeshadows in all different shades and I’m obsessed with eyeliner. I’ve recently started trying out different lip colors here and there, but I’m a little more cautious.

I enjoy playing with makeup, but I feel fine without it. I can (and do!) feel beautiful with or without it on.
