At the age of 29, Alison Stevenson decided to do something that she had never thought of since she was a child, that was to stop makeup and live real with bare face and natural beauty that natureGive me.
Although Alison is not a person who likes to make up, but for her, the use of a few basic make up products is enough to give her a more perfect appearance.Since the early years when he turned 20, Alison really believed that leaving the house without foundation or eyeliner was really a terrible thing.
The process of returning to the bare face
It was not too difficult for Alison to abandon eyeliner and lipstick, but during a few months later, the foundation with her was still a body.Since his 5th grade, when the first acne appeared on his face, Alison has started to use and love foundation from there.So far, her acne skin has shown signs of remission, but the use of foundation to cover the acne and redness, seems to have become a habit that is too difficult to give up.
Sau hai tháng chật vật, Alison thành công với việc ngừng sử dụng kem nền.Tuần đầu tiên quả thực vô cùng khó khăn.The feeling of embarrassment did not confidently started to reappear, like Alison at the age of 12, even worse than that.At this time, in front of her are two choices: Back to use foundation or not continue to care, comfortable facing it.Cuối cùng, cô ấy đã tiếp tục với sự lựa chọn thứ hai.
Learn how to get used to the imperfect appearance
Alison had to start learning how to ignore and criticize the shortcomings on his face.Time passed, when people gradually got used to the new face of Alison, it was when the gossip gradually disappeared and they were no longer a difficult or obstacle.
No one really cares about you by yourself
This is one of the thoughts that lead Alison to optimism and comfort than ever.The truth is that in this world, the person who cares about you most can only be yourself.The negative thoughts that appear in mind are the thing that leads to the worst feeling.And it seems that the examination of strangers out there has no effect on you at all.
There are many people who think that others always pay attention to the shortcomings on their faces, but the truth is not.Even when people realize, they do not consider it a matter of concern.Only you are the one who feels uncomfortable for that, and because it is the thought that you create yourself, you can stop it.
Don't do anything if you feel it's not right
The beauty industry has been changing the minds of the whole world.It seems that up to this point, anyone of any age, gender, and nation thinks that makeup will help bring a more perfect appearance.
However, thinking in another direction, cosmetics may not be able to promote or create confidence for anyone.Even the cost of investing in cosmetics can make people have more headaches than feeling happy when appearing with a beautiful face.With Alison, it is not worth the trade.
"I realized that I shouldn't start with makeup.I hate having to spend hours on makeup and then more time to remove makeup at the end of the day.To be honest, it is not interesting and does not bring any interest to me.It is really a burden, but it is necessary to live in a society like this.That's why I decided to give up, because I didn't feel comfortable with it." -Alison shared.
