Makeup Free Monday- Feb and March

 February I missed a couple of weeks, but March's are all there, I swear! I'll mention again that I first got started doing these makeup free Mondays as a result of Functional Girl on facebook. They call for photos of followers, every monday, of women without makeup on. Because you're beautiful just the way you are and because you don't have to buy into a multi billion dollar industry that tells you there's something wrong with you.

Makeup Free Mondays- January

Because you don't have to buy into the multi billion dollar beauty industry to be beautiful.

Makeup Free Mondays- September

I missed a week so there are only three photos, but as I promised, all makeup free. Because you don't need makeup to be beautiful despite what society may tell you. Plenty of people think I'm ugly (trust me, I get the emails telling me so!), but I don't care. Because it's not my job to beautify the world, it's my job to change it. Happy Autumn everyone!

June/July Makeup Free Mondays

Every Monday since June I've been posting to my flickr and my facebook page makeup free shots. I've decided to show these self portraits here, with you. You don't need cosmetics to be beautiful- you don't need anything except for you.
