Girls Who Dare to Bare

Girls Who Dare to Bare: The idea is that one should be comfortable showing his or her skin for how it truly is. before all of the cosmetics we plaster onto our skin. Do we really need it? Who says we must attain perfection? Perfection isn't real.

Alyse of Integrating Alyse has begun posting "Girls Who Dare to Bare," a weekly feature that shows three lovely ladies who have shown their true beauty, sans makeup. Alyse has wonderful words to say about it, so check out her post.

So, without further adieu, my contribution to GWDTB.

Before

I'm bitchy pmsing and should have more breakouts appearing soon, so I decided to showcase my bare skin before this happens. As you can see, I have a few blemishes and general unevenness (did I just make up a word?) on my skin. I also have a bit of rosiness on my chin and lower cheeks.

After

A bit more put together, though not much different! My blemishes are covered and my complexion looks a bit more even. I'm a natural-look kinda gal, so sorry there's no dramatic makeup shown here.
