I should give highlighting my insecurities with makeup a try 💄

Last night, I hooked up with this real sweet lady. We’ve hooked up once before this time but both times, I was wearing makeup to cover the scarring I have on my face I got from medical issues over the years.

While we were talking this morning, our convos got a little deep, lol. I told her about my insecurities and she asked to see my actual face, no makeup. That was hard, but after she saw the scars, she did something real nice and encouraging for me.

First, she told me she has her own insecurities about her face whenever she’s not wearing makeup. She even did away with her makeup in turn to show me. But then she showed the video below that she says has helped her feel better about her looks:


She suggested I give that a try sometime, that maybe I can start appreciating my bare face too. I personally don’t think I’ll ever be able to shake feeling self-conscious about these permanent marks on my face. I’ll give it a try, at least. Regardless, I thought that was very kind of her.

Maybe anyone else who feels the same way about their bare face could give this a try as well and hopefully start appreciating their natural looks without makeup a little more.
