“When I was a teenager, I had
acne and would wear heavy
concealer-like foundation every
day, even in the pool. While
I’ve gone lighter with my makeup
since then, in the past year
I’ve made it a priority to work on
feeling beautiful with or
without makeup.”PICK YOUR PRODUCT
“I always go makeup-free when
I’m at home, but if I’m running
out, I put on mascara. L’Oréal
Paris Telescopic Original Mascara
[$9.50, at drugstores] is my
favorite for a natural, soft look.”STRIP IT DOWN
“I went fully makeup-free in
public for the first time this year
at an Aerie panel. My main worry
was if I was going to look tired,
but no one noticed or comment-
ed on it. It’s just not as big a deal
as you make it in your head.”TAKE BABY STEPS
“You get used to what you
see in the mirror when you wear
makeup, so if you want to go
without anything, break it down.
Start by not wearing foundation
but still doing concealer, then try
no eye shadow or mascara.”ALL ABOUT BROWS
“When I have no other makeup
on, I still always brush my
eyebrows. I feel like it makes
them look neat. And because my
brows turn so light in the
summer and disappear, I dye
them a little darker.”From
