5 REASONS NOT TO WEAR MAKEUP
By now you probably know that I am quite team naked I love wearing as little as possible on my face. Of course, I do put on a swipe of foundation – the thinnest – I love to powder my face, and I don’t leave the house without combing my eyebrows with a brush, but that’s where it ends. When I’m at home and have no appointments, I love to walk around really bare-faced. As far as my face is concerned, that is. Not only to feel my best, but it’s also good for my skin.
1. You feel the happiest on earth
On vacation there’s no swipe of foundation on my face and my eyelashes flutter without even a bit of mascara. That makes me the happiest. Maybe it’s because I’m surrounded by palm trees, divine food, and a phone that doesn’t have an exploded inbox, but not spending time on makeup is also really nice. By the way, it’s not just the case on vacation. Not doing it on the weekend is also very nice. And when I mentioned this here at the editorial office, Jet (who often goes makeup-free and does damn well with it, by the way) and Lil said they really feel the happiest without it. On vacation and just in the Netherlands.
2. It saves you a lot of time
No panic in the morning to apply your look, no hassle with cleaning, and no fuss with touch-ups. It really saves a lot of time. On average, women spend about twenty minutes in the morning and an hour and a half throughout the day, so just calculate what you can do with the time you save.

3. Your skin only gets more beautiful
Foundation may be thin and powders don’t have to do much, but nothing on your skin is just the best. Your skin can breathe better and is naturally much cleaner.
4. Men find you the prettiest
Research shows that men find women at their prettiest when they don’t wear makeup. Nice to have a red lip or good eyeliner once in a while, but they appreciate nothing the most. I’ve never been so fond of these kinds of studies.
5. Panda eyes are hard to find
In the gym you don’t have to worry about your makeup going everywhere, and on the bike, you don’t have to be afraid if a Dutch shower falls over you.
