My face looks completely normal
Every day for like 5 years, every time I leave the house, my mother told me to put on some makeup or at least some concealer for my eyes. No matter where I am going. And I’m not even joking, half the conversations we have she tells me to put some product on them to lighten them, its to the point where she will start asking me about school, and when I tell her, she will change the subject back to my face.
Obviously this got under my skin eventually. I pretty much wear makeup every day for the last 2 years. I got so good at it that I’ve basically perfected the no-makeup makeup look. My friends don’t even realise I’m wearing makeup sometimes.
The thing is, I recently sent a picture to a friend without makeup and she laughed and seemed confused why I needed to wear it as much as I did?? And I said and she sent a picture back, she’s also Pakistani, we have the exact same dark eye circles and I never even cared about hers.
Idk, I looked in the mirror this morning and my face looks completely normal. Like I thought I needed to wear makeup every day, but I guess it helps I live further from my mother now, because I just look completely normal?? I look like anyone else not wearing makeup. I don’t need to cover up. I don’t need a million face products.
Its kind of crazy the way other people’s opinions shape your own, especially of your own face.
