Thank you so much for your kind words Elin, it means a lot coming from you because I’m always so impressed by your posts! I wanted to write this post to try and encourage people to have a healthy relationship with makeup and to try and ditch beauty standards that make us feel unworthy or unattractive without makeup! xx

I love makeup and experimenting with different products and looks but I’ve also felt like I ‘need’ to wear it in the past to cover acne and other imperfections but you’re so right in saying that makeup is something we should have fun with, it shouldn’t be a necessity and if we want to let our skin breathe one day then we shouldn’t feel like we need to cover it up just because of standards that exist. Loved this post as always!xx

I think that’s the right way to approach makeup for sure! x

My relationship with make up is very similar. I now work with make up but like to focus on it enhancing my customers natural beauty rather than covering so called flaws. x

I definitely fall into the trap of using makeup to cover my insecurities sometimes and when I feel myself doinf that I think to myself NO GIRL DON’T LET IT OWN YOU. But, we’re all human and we sometimes need a little boost, I guess. It’s hard to get the relationship right with makeup, but I’m getting there I think 🙂 absolutely, Instagram can be extremely toxic and we don’t need that in our lives. I’m so glad you liked this post, this has made my day 🙂 you too girl xxx

That statement definitely opened my eyes more and its so true! Like many of us we have insecurities that we try to hide or change but we shouldn’t feel ashamed. I love makeup because how artistic it can be and all the different looks you can create.

As a SAHM, makeup is only on rare occasions and I’m okay with that. Like you, I try to stay away from Instagram too because of all the pressure that comes with it. This post was such a good read and so inspiring!

Thank you for sharing lovely and I hope you have a beautiful weekend!

I think if you start getting into a habit where you feel like you need to wear makeup to go somewhere, that’s when it becomes a bit unhealthy. If you’re doing it because you want to, that’s something else. But I’m the same, I also like myself more when I wear makeup

I fully agree with you though. I’m still struggling with going somewhere without makeup, just because I like myself more when I’m wearing make-up. I always thought this wasn’t insecurity but just a preference but who am I kidding right?

Thanks so much, I’m really glad you liked this piece and I wasn’t sure how it would be received because I don’t normally go for more personal posts. Absolutely, it’s about owning who we are and not relying on products to feel good. I love makeup as much as the next person, but you need to have a healthy relationship with it 🙂

I agree with you so much and never thought about make up enhancing my natural beauty like you so perfectly put it.
I think we all need to learn to be comfortable in our own skin with or without make up we ade beautiful.
Thank you for this post.
