Today’s Makeup : Perfection is Boring

freckles glossy eyes

A few weeks back a friend of mine posted a picture of a girl with exactly the same makeup that I have done in today’s post. I screenshot it with me thinking that I would do this look soon. She even asked me to do this look. I actually forgot about it until I was browsing beauty at Topshop and they have a pencil called ‘Freckle Pencil’. They are actually selling something that help you enhance your natural beauty rather than all masking it out making it ‘perfect’. How cool is that? Β It really got me thinking about the pic that I had saved and also our perception of beauty. I mean makeup these days has become such a thing of masking everything you have on your face rather than enhancing about what you have. Especially with all the instagram makeup, there is just room to celebrate the real beauty that every woman naturally has. Β We women get so insecure about our spots, lines hair and just about everything that possibly is beautiful and makes us who we are. So today’s look is a tribute to the natural beauty of women. I created these freckles. For some they might be sun spots, I think they look beautiful and give an innocent look to the face. This makeup is the extreme end of natural skin and mostly done for editorial purposes. But hope you like it and hope it means something to you. πŸ™‚
