Two years ago Stephanie at Adventures In Babywearing wrote a post encouraging other bloggers to post a self-portrait wearing no make-up. Not a scary “the horror! the horror!” kind of photo. Just a regular picture of you in which you happen not be wearing any make-up.
Back in the day I posted my entry here. (Oh, young twenty-four-year old FB; there’s so much I would tell you if I could.)
I like make-up as much as the next girl, but I really loved the idea behind posting a photo like this. I like the idea of letting people see the “real” you without any bells and whistles or flashy distractions…
…You see where this is going, right?
Tomorrow instead of posting a weekly question I’m posting a photo of me without any make-up, that will NOT be touched up in Photoshop. And instead of answering my question in the comments I think you should post a link to your own no-make-up photo blog post.
Come on. Do it. I dare you.

Oh my goodness, you are brave! I don’t even like my parents (I know, it’s screwed up) to see me without makeup. I feel like I look like a boy with no eyelashes or eyebrows. And what about the zits, my heavens, the zits?! How would I cover them? But I think it’s awesome you’re doing it.
By the way, just found your blog and I love what I’ve read so far!

Dude, was that really April 2007? Oh my. I’ve spent the last hour reading my old blogs while trying to find that entry. Who was I? Wow.

[...] Fat Bridesmaid has laid down the gauntlet… Publish a picture of your naked unmade up self. Never one to back down from a challenge, here is my make-up-less face. Years ago I had a lovely boss who was like a mother to me in many ways and she kindly told me one day, when I hadn’t had time to put on make-up before work, that make-up had been invented for people like me. People like me being mousy and nondescript. I wasn’t even insulted, as I totally agreed with her! But I have to confess, I only wear make-up once or twice a week these days… I feel “brighter” from all this healthy living. [...]

My video blog from yesterday was make-up free.
