Ah, Grace. The beauty of discovering how beautiful YOU ARE without make-up.
I recently went for a couple of weeks without make-up. By went, I seriously mean I went everywhere. Ah, I was so tempted. But then I realized it was more of a heart issue than a beauty issue. And in those two weeks, I asked G-d to work in my heart. I felt like a butterfly by the end of the weeks. I felt so beautiful and loved- I had understood in a new light that my Maker had made me beautiful. At the beginning, I looked at the flaws. But, during those weeks, I asked myself, "Does G-d even CREATE flaws?!" I concentrated more on my heart's beauty.
Plus, I had NO skin blemishes at all by not using make-up to cover it up (a bonus!)
When I began using it again, I used it in minimal amounts (you can barely tell it's there). But, recently, I've been feeling the need to go without again. WHat I experience every time I do this is too beautiful for words. G-d is sovereign. May He bless your time off this! You are BEAUTIFUL, just the way He made you to be.
