NOTE: This defensive post is mostly dedicated to BOYS that always say “I think you look better with no make-up” to their girlfriends. They should have said, “I wish you know the secret to invisible make-up.”

I used to say, I have to wear make-up all the time because I don’t look like Kim Kardashian. Until I came across this..

From here

As confident as I have always been in my own skin, I don’t recall ever leaving my house without any make-up.

Sure you’d ask “Ickkkk, then you teach your yoga classes in make-up?”

Balispirit Festival 2010

Are you kidding? For sure I do!

If this is how I look WITH make-up before / during / after my yoga classes,

..trust me, you don’t want to imagine how I look without.

.   .   .   .  .

Unless I’m going to fancy dinner / glam party / wedding that REQUIRES me to apply smokey eyes, falsie and lipstick (for a make-up junkie, I hate wearing lipsticks)..

.. I only stick to the basics (by make-up standard, BASIC means = moisturiser, concealer, foundation, loose powder, blusher, eyebrow liner, mascara, lipbalm and I AM NOT KIDDING!).

This konon-konon I-can-travel-looking-fresh face
required all the mentioned make-up items above, believe me!

Then you’d ask – what’s the point of putting on make-up at all if you’re not gonna look any different?

So that we simply look like your perfect woman human!

Open pores, uneven skintone, hideous dark under-eyes circles and unsightly acne scars are not pretty. And we don’t have facial hair to hide ‘em imperfections under!

..and don’t get me started with how often us girls have to exfoliate, wax, pedicure..

Next you might ask - but when does your facial skin ever breathe?

I never worry about that as I wear mineralizer make-up and I sleep 6 hours a day with squeaky-cleansed face and I know my organs (you do know that skin is our biggest organ, right?) do get plenty of breaths everyday when I’m on my mat

And I secretly believe in my theory that -

.. at least WITH make-up, my pores are covered with a protective layer (LOL, listen to me!) that’s meant to be put on the face instead of bare skin that leads to absorbing direct pure toxin / contamination / cigarette smoke from all around.

[ To prove my theory: The longer I leave my face WITHOUT make-up, the more prone to breakout I get! ]

And c’mon boys – you don’t really think these ‘natural beauties’ DON’T have any make-up on, do you?

So my point is,

while we don’t wake up looking like your Hollywood dream girls..

BOYS – don’t complain if your girlfriends take some time to look her best (in my case, I love Petrovsky for he thinks I’m wearing make-up only when I put bright red lipstick on )

.. and GIRLS – the secret of ‘natural beauty’ OR ‘invisible make-up’ really IS – tonnes of make-up (with good blending technique)!

Love and light (looking make-up)!
