The 30-Day Minimalism Challenge - Day 23

Hello everyone, today's challenge is to go bare-faced! So the norm is that most girls wear makeup, but I actually know a lot of guys that wear some too! It's very popular in Asia to wear BB Cream because it doesn't clog your pores, there's normally SPF in it, and some even help repair the skin ^^ Also concealer is your best friend if you have some pimples you want to cover up >.<

The past two months I've been into wearing no makeup or wearing minimal makeup when I go out, I normally wear a lot if I'm going to a special event. Other than that I might put some concealer on and lipstick because it's easy and I'm trying to help my face out with the acne! If I have time I try to put eyeliner on but I'm really lazy in the morning's so it depends >.<
So this is what I look like when I put makeup on and I edit my more noticeable acne out (the kind that remind you of a volcano or something lol):

People always send me asks saying I have perfect skin or they ask how my skin is so light... The secret is good lighting and the Meitu app! Mostly good lighting though because it's bright and you can't see my acne as well. Then of course any acne that is noticeable I just erase >.<
There's no use in denying that I edit my pictures, but when I do take selfies I make sure that I haven't eaten any fattening foods that will make my face really bloated.

So here's my face from today:

As you can see I'm not wearing any makeup and I haven't edited this at all >.<

I actually took this about 20 minutes ago in my bathroom so I have horrible lighting and I'm having an awful break out currently :( I didn't even style my hair today which is surprising since I try to make an effort at least with that if I'm going out.

I personally think my face is a little bloated because I ate out with my friends and I had junk food all day.

I know some people wear makeup to hide their acne or they aren't confident and I think that's fine because I do that too sometimes. I think it can be a bit of a problem if we rely on it too much, it's hard to love yourself, but you will someday!
I feel like since I've entered college I've become more confident with myself and now I don't feel like I need to hide behind my makeup. Of course some people wear lots of makeup because it's fun or they just want to because hey it's their life; it's not always going to be about not feeling confident with their self.

I also don't wear makeup a lot because I do have a lot of acne, although the pictures don't always pick it up! Thankfully my face has gotten better because of a good cleansing routine and healthy habits ^^

Anyways tomorrow's challenge is to practice gratitude!
