Guest post from my friends over at College Candy!
I’ve never been a make up girl. I’ve gone through my phases, of course. My high school emo phase that led to me perfecting my eyeliner-with-smoky-purple-eyeshadow look (oh. my. god. why.). My increasingly desperate attempts to find a foundation that doesn’t end up looking, and feeling, like mud.
Some girls just aren’t meant for make up. I might be one of them. From my acne prone & lighter-than-ivory-pale skin to my baby face, make up is either too dark, too adult, or “too much.” As Tyra Banks occasionally mentioned on America’s Next Top Model, some people’s faces just don’t hold make up. The experience, I can tell you, is maddening. And it made me hate make up.
