Why I Re-introduced Make-up!

Back in January I wrote about Why I Stopped Wearing Make-up.  I stopped wearing make-up, because I didn't feel beautiful without it on.  I had to reclaim my beauty and realize that I'm gorgeous the way God made me.  I've come a long way in a short time and I am very happy with who I am and how I was made.  I'm so happy in fact, that I now want my face to have a tad more sparkle to show how I feel on the inside to others.

I found some newer types of make-up that don't cover up my face or feel gross.  Very light stuff and a bit of shine for my eyes.  It looks quite natural actually and just gives me a bit of glimmer.  I want people to see a glimmer, because it's how I feel.  I even found something that was a cross between plain old lip balm and lipstick.  It's a tinted lip shine, but leaves everything nice and translucent.  Pretty, but again natural looking.  So, I still look the same, but a little shinnier. 

I cherish the lesson that I learned and how I was able to grow.  I'm very comfortable still going to the store or movies without my make-up on.  I know that whether I wear it or not makes no difference to who I truely am.  With that lesson learned now, I think it's okay to reintroduce it, in a brand new way.  I have no worries of becoming self-concious or "ugly".  I know those insecurities are behind me and it feels remarkably good.

My fresh outlook has a slightly shimmered eyelid and lip some days, while it always has a happy heart!
