Bare-Faced And Beautiful…Join Makeup


Have you ever rushed out into public without your “game face?”  I mean without those finishing touches that make your total look appear to be all pulled together.  The dab and roll of lip gloss, the swish of bronzer across the eyelids and that incredible on-the-go sun splash that makes your face look like you’ve been at the beach, even in the coolest of climate.  Worry no more!  Alexis Wolfer of The Beauty Bean has started a social movement unlike any other.  Makeup-Free Mondays are just that…Mondays where makeup is not required to wear!  This is a time when natural beauty reigns!
According to The Beauty Bean, there are six simple ways to get involved:
There are 6 simple ways to get involved:
1. Don’t wear makeup on Mondays (or use less for those who need to do this in baby steps).
2. Stop apologizing for not wearing makeup, no matter what day of the week it is.
3. Organize official Makeup Free Mondays at your school, place of employment or with your friends.
4. Encourage conversations about real beauty and better body image within your own families and friendships.
5. Share your makeup free photos with The Beauty Bean via and on Twitter with the hash tag #MakeupFreeMondays.
6. Donate unopened and unexpired makeup to your local women’s shelter, Dress for Success chapter or similar women’s program. Though The Beauty Bean focuses on inner beauty, we know that the confidence a polished look can give is something all women deserve.
This social media movement has caught my attention to the point that I pulled off my “game face” in celebration of natural beauty last Monday around mid day!  I will continue to participate by encouraging women on social media sites to shine with natural beauty on Mondays moving forward!
Have a beautiful week!
