So on Friday night I slept at Luca's house, had a lovely evening with him, took all my makeup off before I went to bed, regardless of my skin being awful but it's fine because I know Luca loves me regardless of having makeup on or not.
But the next day when I started getting ready for work I realised that I forgot to bring my makeup bag.
I felt suddenly really anxious the fact I had to go to work all day with no makeup, and when I say no makeup, I literally had no concealer, no mascara or anything. A completely bare face.
This got me thinking that it is actually so bad that I felt ashamed to have no makeup on and not having any blemishes covered. Yet about 7 years ago I would go out with absolutely no makeup on and not bat an eyelid.
I think that in 2015 it is awful that young girls like me, feel like they can't go out and be comfortable with no makeup on. I'm not saying that every girl doesn't feel comfortable because I know girls that wear no makeup at all and always look beautiful. But it's just because I have been wearing makeup for so many years and an involved in an environment where it's the normal thing to wear makeup every single day.
Whilst I was at work there were points that I felt really insecure and that people were really staring at me, and a few comments like 'Are you okay Abi? You don't look great', did make me feel a bit crappy. But after a while I completely forget that I didn't have any makeup on at all, and I did start to feel really comfortable. The best thing about this whole thing, is that I didn't have to spend ages taking my makeup off before I got into bed.

I'm not to sure where I am going with this but I feel like it is so important that every girl needs to realise they are beautiful. Regardless of having a few blemishes. Being comfortable in your own skin should come before everything because at the end if the day, it's you who has to live in your skin and see yourself everyday.
Because of this whole experience, I feel like I actually want to start going maybe one day a week with no makeup on, regardless of where I am going. It definitely made me feel more confident, and was so good for my skin.
