Going (almost) Natural

Hey, Its been more than a month since i last blogged. Basically there is nothing special going on in my life currently. Haha. Besides the fact that im either working, sleeping or having my driving lessons. (Didn't want to put anything else in because i know it will bore you out.)

But i felt the need to share this out.

So this post is actually dedicated more to girls :)

Like many girls, i always feel insecure about going out with my bare face, i was afraid of critisms, i was afraid i don't blend in with other girls,i was afraid to look really ugly amongst all the other super pretty girls.

So.. Since i was 16 years old, i started to put on makeup. Though not alot, but i felt the need to increase the amount of makeup. For example, i used to only put foundation. Then i decided eyeliner is good, then brows came in. I felt that i look too pale, so i started to use blusher. And to add colour to my lips, lipstick. Mascara to longer lashes.

I felt the need to blend in with the other bloggers, being a blogger myself. No offence to anyone.

Like each time i see them outside, there are heaps and heaps of makeup, and not saying that all bloggers do have lots of makeup on their faces. There are some who don't put much makeup too.

It becomes a thought for me each time i go out that what if people sees me without makeup, what if they think im ugly and stuff? I decided to cover up my bare face with makeup. In a way, i think of it as, enhancing the natural beauty. I try to keep my makeup as natural as possible. For example, if i were to put on eye shadow, i only use neutral tones.

I do go bare face sometimes with the friends im close with, and of course in school as well since everyone has to wear uniform right? I also have the thought that there is no need for myself to look good in school because school isnt for dating or trying to attract people of the opposite genders. (Thats just my thought)

Since the end of December 2014.. My mentality changed.

I don't see the need of myself putting heaps and heaps of makeup just to impress people. To 'enhance' the beauty. I felt like.. I need to start having confidence in my own natural self. Kk, its not me feeling the need to have confidence. I have this very friend who taught me so much. That friend has seen the 'ugliest' side of me and just keeps telling me i look fine. And as the non-confident girl, i still feel really insecure.

As days and months passed. Im finally back to almost bare faced when i go out. Like... i reduced so much makeup for going out. From the removal of eyeshadow, to mascara, to blusher, to lipstick and to eyeliner. Bacially, my face consists of just my brows, concealer and foundation. But each time, the application of foundation just gets lesser and lesser. (Like i wipe off alot of excess foundation with tissue haha)

I feel rather confident as compared to the past of my bare faced. I mean like God created everyone to look differently and unique. Everyone is beautiful in their natural self.

Sometimes, i look at people's pictures, selfies etc. The amount of makeup is.. as thick as *inserts your answer in*. Probably some looks good.. But some is.. really CMI. They look so much better without makeup!

No offence to anyone. Just my 2cents worth of thoughts.

But.. Just in this blog post.. I want to tell each and every girl out there who are reading this post of mine to EMBRACE your natural self. Probably for events, shoots or filming or anything important, its totally fine to smack on some makeup, but outings, going out with friends, its kind of unnecessary to put on too much makeup. (i only put on more makeup now if i have shoots, auditions, events and advert shoots)

I have HORRIBLE-LOOKING panda eyes, but im planning to reduce my makeup to only having my brows drawn. BROWS ARE SO IMPORTANT TO THE FACE HAHA. But.. i don't really draw it anymore.. I only fill in the empty spaces that i have in my brows haha. Close to no makeup.

This might sound contradicting. But i find that brows are kinda important, so it being drawn.. to me.. is not really say much makeup haha.

Im probably trying to figure out what i am typing.. Its like really late.. My brain is shutting down.

Anyways, thanks for reading. Jia Min signing off!

April Update.

I don't put makeup at all sometimes. And sometimes just brows drawn.
