  • I am 56 years young and up until just recently always felt I needed makeup. In fact my children use to call me a transformer. What a difference makeup would do. But as I have aged, I have been using less and less makeup for fear of becoming like some of those blue hair ladies with tons of makeup looking like Betty Davis. This month I have acutally gone makeup free and I don’t think anyone has noticed the difference. What a time saver. I just wake up, wash my face and I’m ready to go. Of course, I would never give up my EB5 facial cream. I think that helped me make the tranission. Good luck to all who go makeup free!

  • I’m 25 and usually don’t wear makeup except for Chap Sticks new Shimmer line and some Lash Blast mascara. In the mornings I just want to get out of the house and don’t have the time or energy to put on primer, foundation, eyeshadow, eyeliner, blush etc. A little mascara brightens my eyes, and the shimmer lightens my lips. It makes me feel fresh and pretty! Additionally I have been using the Wonderbar for months and my skins looks great so I don’t need moisturizer! I love the makeup free idea. I honestly believe women should feel comfortable in their own skin before using makeup. Makeup is made to enhance your natural beauty not cover it up entirely, and if I see one more unflattering photo of ‘stars without makeup” I’m going to scream!
