It’s a lovely spring Friday, and coming off a pretty “mixed review” date last night, I didn’t much feel like gussy-ing it up today. So, for the first time in probably a year, I headed to work without makeup.
Now, I don’t look like a total schlep. My clothes are clean and wrinkle-free, my hair is stick-straight, and I have on some white gold jewelry. So it’s not like I’m channeling post-meltdown Britney.
But still…is going to work without makeup “acceptable?”
My skin is not perfect, but it’s not all THAT bad, either. I don’t have any blemishes, but I do have a few acne scars, and there aren’t any circles under my eyes, but there IS that ever-present blue vein under my left eye. (That vein is the bane of my existence.)
Throwing it out there…have you gone commando to work? And/or, when you see a lady sans makeup at work, what do you think?
Have a great weekend!
Not wearing make-up to work is the same as not wearing make-up anywhere. It’s just the difference between looking done and not. I think the thing that makes not wearing it to work seem more extreme, is that the same people see you everyday, and they will notice that you look different. When you don’t wear make-up out on the weekends, people don’t know if that is your normal look or not.
