Embrace yourself

I have been wearing makeup since I was 11 in middle school. A little mascara and under eyeliner and lipstick. In high school I was doing full glam at 5am and always had to have my makeup done because I felt ugly without it. Even after I graduated I would always have my makeup done. I got my eyebrows done and still continued to darken them. I finally got them redone 5 years later and let my hair grow out. I also started taking my skincare more seriously so that I wouldn’t use foundation anymore because they’re never my shade. So now that I’m in nursing school and work at night, I’m too tired to do anything at all. Of course I still do my skincare because I have a really dry face (thanks to all those years of wearing makeup) the most I put on now is mascara, eyelashes (sometimes) and lipstick/ oil/gloss. I’m at a point in my life that I’m embracing my natural beauty and accepting how I look and loving myself.

The point of this all is to embrace yourself, love yourself, and love your natural beauty
