#nomakeupnovember

I wish I could be as sexually liberated as some people out there. I've been sexualized since I was 5, by family, neighbors, and teachers. I can't bring myself to do it... I feel like whatever innocence I had was taken from me a long time ago. My art often features nude women; I see the female body as an art form. However, posting pictures of myself in a swimsuit is where I draw the line. I can't do it, even though I know it might boost my online reputation. I can't recall a time when I could. Though I admit I'm envious of those who can – yes, I said it.

Oh, I was thinking about this the other day. I've stopped wearing a full face makeup for some time now. Occasionally, I'll wear subtle lipstick color, mascara, or eyeliner maybe 1-2 times a month. When I used to wear makeup, there was a time when I wouldn't leave my house without it. The cannon event for me was when I started working in a couple of male-dominated environment, and back-to-back incidents left me utterly disgusted by how I was treated and how some men looked at me – even those with wives and children. It was revolting. I had to take a few trips to HR, but there was no resolution since they were all buddies.

Interestingly, it was only when I didn't wear makeup that I wasn't objectified. That's when I was treated with respect. However, on those occasions, the men would often ask, 'Are you sick?' or 'Did your boyfriend break up with you? So, I said fuck you. This is my face and you're gonna accept it as it is.

Outside of work, I just couldn't bear the unwanted attention any longer. Men seem to think that just because you dress up and put on some simple makeup, they can say the most vulgar things to you (not all men) I haven't worn makeup like that in about 6 years. I'm not that old, guys! 😭

I told myself the man I will marry would never see me with makeup he will love me with or without. After that I met my hunk of monk, 6 years strong. Oh and I got gross I stopped shaving and went feral. I wanted to repel men. And it worked 😂

These are my experiences, and I understand the qualities and healing power of makeup. To each their own. ❤️‍🔥 I want to emphasis not all men. But, you'd be amazed how often men comment on female bodies inside of work environments.

Day 1 of #nomakeupnovember complete. This is far from the best my skin has ever looked but I’m more confident than I have ever been. I love myself inside and out, flaws and all, because this is how God created me. We only get one chance at this life, and I could spend time wishing I looked this way or that and not like who I see in the mirror. Or I could just love myself. It takes less energy and it makes me happier, and honestly, there’s no downside to loving yourself. I’m dedicating this month this year to myself because I deserve it, and the #selflove and #selfcare that comes with it. So this is me, flaws and all, no filter or changes added from when I took the photo. :)

For this month I decided to challenge myself to not wear make up for 25 days. Although it took some time to get used to because putting on make up had become so habitual for me, the transition from day to day made me realize how dependent I was on societies’ idea of the ‘antidote’ for beauty. Not only have I saved a lot of time getting dressed every morning, I’ve also found much more needed peace in accepting who I am and seeing my true beauty. ⠀ ⠀ As #nomakeupnovember comes to an end, I want to thank everyone who continues to support my many endeavors as an #entrepreneur (and oh, I’m just getting started 😏). I am truly grateful. 🙏🏾⠀ ⠀ 📷: rourke_the_ruler

I am going make up free this year for a second time! It's become an annual thing that I do to encourage other women and young girls to accept themselves the way they are. Don't get me wrong though I adore make up and appreciate it's artistic abilities, but the average women owns about 40 makeup/beauty skin care products. The amount of chemicals we put onto our skin on a daily basis is scary! Have you ever wondered what your foundation consists of? Try research what exactly you are putting on your skin before you do. As someone who suffered with horrible Acne this challenge last year boosted my confidence in the way I looked without wearing make up and made me feel happy in my own skin! Join me and a brave group of girls this month trying out the #nomakeupnovember challenge!
