The No-Make-Up Look Experiment

Since I attended an all-girls college, we are actually required to put on make-up to look presentable at all times. After the holidays, I decided to try out an experiment, though unintentionally. Its to go to work without/with minimal make up on.

I have been sporting the minimal make-up look for the past two weeks and what I notice is that people started noticing "my other assets."

We often read that cosmetics are used to accentuate your best assets but I think, since it has been years since Ive gone out make-up less, people may have thought that is my normal face/look. My assets, instead of being accentuated, were concealed by my make-up.

I used to get compliments like, "i love your eye liner" or "where did you buy your lipstick, the shade is a trend now" but now the most unusual comments I receive from complete strangers include, "your eyes are pretty" (imagine i dont use concealers for my puffy eyebag). A friend of mine also commented "Iba ang ganda mo ngayon ha! (your beauty seems to be different now ah!). I got the most unusual comments of all time from a female co-worker, "ang sexy mo ngayon!" imagine that?! they started noticing my other assets!

Hahahah! But oh well, I want to know what works for you and when do you feel most noticeable, with or without makeup?
