No Makeup Monday!

I think we have all got to the point where you are sitting at your mirror on a wet and cold day, and just as you are about to apply the war paint you just think no. Well I didn't just think it... oops.

Last week I made the brave move to go into work for the first time with no make up on. Now I have a few spots on my face, and some discolouration under my eyes but nothing too much that I feel I need make up (I just prefer a flawless complexion). However I aways have at least concealer and mascara on.

As I got to work I started to regret my decision, I was full of dread and for some reason nervous. All I could think of was why didn't I let myself bring my make up bag! But after getting through the door and to my desk I had nearly forgotten about it all.

Now realistically I don't think many people really noticed. And if they did, they were very polite and didn't say anything. At lunch one lady asked if I was feeling well, as I looked a little off colour. Now I think I can probably put that down to the lack of make up, but for me it didn't seem so much of a big deal.

I did notice a difference with my skin though. As I have oily skin I usually use a primer, and a face powder after my foundation. As I only had moisturiser on, there wasn't anything on my skin all day to soak up any excess oil, which i didn't like. I felt my skin looked like it was really shiny!

Over all I think that I could do it again, maybe in the summer when i can hide my eyes with big sunglasses! But yes, my no make up Monday was a kind of success :D

How would you cope with a no makeup Monday? let me know in the comments :D
