I got to my office, and made a b-line for my desk, avoiding eye-contact with my coworkers.
A ZOMBIE AMONGST HUMANS
Dassi's First Morning Makeup-Free
So getting dressed, I chose more feminine colors and shapes, more jewelry, and I even curled my hair! Talk about over-compensation!
When I left my building, I felt like a man anyway. It's so weird how I (and probably most girls) have become so dependent on makeup to feel like a woman. I got to my office, and made a b-line for my desk, avoiding eye-contact with my coworkers. Everyone is treating me the same! What the heck?! I don't look like the "Dassi" that has worked here all along. Intruder!!
Today I have to be the front desk of a very busy office, run a ton of errands, and see at least 6 clients this evening... Hope I can become more aware of other people as the day goes along as opposed to feeling like I look like a zombie.
Mascaraless,
Dassi
(Check back for an evening post to see how the rest of the day evolved!)
Honey, all you look like you need is sleep!
ReplyDeleteDo sharpe markers count as eyeliner!?
ReplyDeleteI don't know you but personally i think your no-makeup look is very beachy and modelesque...and this is coming from someone who wears a TON of makeup.
ReplyDeleteDarling, you look gorgeous ... young, refreshed and -this is gonna sound weird but - MORE FEMININE. just one girl's opinion ...
ReplyDeleteDass,
ReplyDeleteYou do look a lil' tired, but totally gorgeous! Look how big and beautiful your eyes look without any makeup! I'm gonna start the challenge tomorrow...yikes!
You rock!
Funny how you don't feel like yourself when you're natural... when really putting ON foreign things should make us feel not like ourselves.

ReplyDelete"Do sharpie markers count as eyeliner!?"
You really just have this fresh clean look without make-up. I like it personally.
ReplyDeleteyou look gorg!!!
ReplyDeleteDass, i told u not to do it!! aaaaahhh :)
ReplyDeletejust by looking at before and after pictures, your makeup-less look does look like a more refreshed and model-esq you. from all these positive comments, you should realize you're blessed to be naturally beautiful. you shouldn't let makeup be a self-esteem crutch - one you certainly don't need.
ReplyDeleteWOW! Thanks y'all! These comments are really eye-opening and humbling. I'd like to say to Menooch, I wrote it! I'm glad you LOL-ed! :)
ReplyDeleteDenise and Anonymous just above me, I'm realizing more and more that "putting ON foreign things should make us feel not like ourselves" is REAL.
