Better Self Esteem
But you can still have it all — and without getting dolled up in the morning! This woman, who has gone without makeup for the past few years, has a supportive partner and her own successful business. She writes, "I think choosing to not wear makeup says a lot. I have a lot of respect for women who do not. It was hard at first for me, I thought everyone noticed. But the reality is, no one noticed and I feel so much better about myself. My self esteem has increased dramatically over there last five years, ditching the makeup was part of that change [sic]."
