I’ve always admired those natural beauties out there. While I do enhance my face with a bit of eyeliner, lip gloss…I’ve never been a heavily made up gal ( not that I haven’t wondered what a makeup artist could do with my looks!). As always I appreciate this read and what’s behind the make up…You are a natural beauty…outwardly and internally MC. Thank you for making us go deep within ourselves.

You look beautiful without makeup MC!! I too have never been much for slathering on a lot of makeup, and thanks to the pandemic and mask wearing, I've only used mascara. In fact, when this is all over, the bit of foundation I do use, will be dried up. Just might not buy it again. As always, thanks for a nice read.

I thought of you when I was putting this essay out -- because I know you don't wear a ton of makeup and I think you always look fabulous! I, too, have some foundation that has languished so long during this pandemic that I'll probably just end up throwing it out! Thanks for reading!

Good read, MC. This is a topic that I’ve thought about during lockdown. Sluggish days without makeup and wearing loose clothing became the easy norm. I am wearing less makeup now, but I must say that since I have blond eyelashes, I feel better, prettier and more confident when I take a few minutes to “put on my eyes”.

I always feel I have to have concealer under my eyes -- I look like a raccoon without it!
