Face facts.
According to an article I just read on The Times newspaper website, today is National No Make-Up Day.
I think this is one of the most ridiculous ideas I’ve ever heard. That’s like saying ‘OK everybody, today we’re all going to shave our hair off’ or ‘Come on, people - today we’re going to walk round with our eyes shut’.
To me, make-up is part of my everyday routine and it has been since the age of about 14. I enjoy applying it and even though it probably looks the same everyday, heavy black eyeliner and smoky grey eye shadow have been my trademark look for years and I am not prepared to give it up. Not even for a day. It’s part of who I am. It reflects my slightly dark and mysterious personality and to be honest, I would feel naked without it.
I often look at women who don’t wear make-up and I get this urge to pick up a liquid eyeliner and draw a line on their upper eyelids at the very least. It could be the fact that I’m quite a creative person, I enjoy drawing and designing so perhaps I see the face as blank canvass…
Anyway, whoever decided to make today National No Make-Up Day, not only needs a slap, but is more than likely to look ten times better when wearing a bit of slap. So ignore this crazy idea and get your mascara out, people.
