Transcript
00:00Hi everyone! I'm Kayla and for the next three days I'm going to be ditching my
00:05makeup. This is my everyday look. I seriously pretty much wear makeup every
00:13day. For me makeup boosts my confidence and it makes me feel more confident about
00:16how I'm presenting myself. It hides any imperfections that I have about my own
00:22insecurities. It kind of hides those and takes it away so I can kind of put my
00:26best foot forward and just move forward with my day-to-day. Even just this look
00:31makes me feel like myself. It makes me feel confident and that I can look
00:35someone in the face and be like, hey it's me! But without makeup I'm gonna be like
00:41wanting to hide. I'm terrified to wear no makeup on my face but I'm really looking
00:47forward to it to kind of push myself and see where it goes. So let's see what
00:52happens over the next three days. It is day one and I just washed my face, got up,
00:59washed my teeth and I'm about to go get ready. Just kidding, this is me for the
01:05day. Here's the finished look. I got ready really fast so that is a major plus and I
01:13don't feel too weird yet. Even though I'm a little nervous I'm excited to embrace
01:16all my natural qualities today in the next couple of days. I don't feel weird about
01:21walking around in public and being on the streets of New York or anything like
01:25that but I'm more worried about seeing people I know and my friends who just are
01:29used to me looking differently. Halfway through day one and so far so good. My
01:34co-workers who didn't know I was doing this challenge said they love the no
01:37makeup look and that was kind of cool because they thought it was intentional
01:41and they liked kind of the look ahead going so that was awesome and honestly the
01:46best part about this is that I can do this.
01:51End of day one I'm actually feeling a lot better than I expected to. I wasn't as
01:55self-conscious or worried and I got some positive reactions. My co-worker told me
02:00that she thought I looked even better without makeup than my normal daily makeup
02:06which I don't think anyone's ever told me before and that was really nice to hear
02:10and it made me feel a lot more secure ending the day and heading into day two.
02:16Day two and I'm ready to go. Just kidding. It's day two and I'm clearly not ready to go
02:22because I'm not dressed but I'm running a little bit late this morning and it made me
02:27feel a lot better knowing I don't have to put any makeup on. Finished look for the day
02:31and I am really wishing I could throw on a pop of color on my lips to complete this
02:37look but it's okay. I'm just gonna roll with it and gonna squeeze my cheeks get
02:43some blush going like they did back in the day. Oh that really works. Wow I'm
02:50feeling a little bit gross right now and like I'm not looking as top-notch as I
02:57felt yesterday but it's really gross out which I think is contributing to not
03:03feeling as good. I just got home from day two and the night shouldn't be over but it
03:09is pouring rain outside meaning mud mask from the Dead Sea. Since no makeup is all
03:16about showing off my natural beauty and putting my best face forward I am trying
03:22to do what I can for my skin today and especially since I'm just staying here in
03:28my apartment tonight hopefully I can give it a little more energy so tomorrow for
03:34day three I look refreshed and alive and glowing from inside out. It is day three
03:42for the sake of pushing my boundaries for this challenge I'm going to wear a bit of
03:46a fancier dress today nothing crazy just a little more dolled up that I usually
03:51would put a nice glamorous face of makeup on for. I will be seeing my grandma so we'll see
03:58what she thinks and a group of my friends today so that'll be interesting
04:03as well. It is so hot out here I'm sweating but it doesn't matter because
04:07no makeup to ruin major plus. I'm off to meet my grandma who is never afraid to tell
04:13me her opinion and I usually always have makeup on when we hang out so I'm think
04:17I'm thinking she's gonna have something to say on the matter stay tuned folks. I
04:21just finished hanging out my grandma she said she did notice right away that I
04:26wasn't wearing anything on my face and she thought I looked good but she hated
04:31it with my hair down the way it was she said my hair was just too overpowering
04:35and I needed my face features to stand out a little bit more. I am about to go to
04:41my first ever party with no makeup on I'm like a little anxious to see how I feel
04:48and how if people react at all but that's what happens. I got multiple people
04:54telling me I look beautiful without it and that is always such a confidence
04:57booster. I feel like this challenge is really showing me how important that is
05:03to feel good about ourselves and how the compliments we give each other stay true
05:09to ourselves as well and they hold they hold the same value on ourselves. Today is
05:13day three it's the end of the night and I think I'm gonna keep going with it
05:17because I feel like it really isn't so empowering and like feeling good in my
05:23own skin is so important and I don't know it's just been really empowering. The
05:29end of my three days of no makeup challenge but I do not think it is the
05:35end of me wearing no makeup. I realized that I think I was using makeup almost to
05:42hide some of my features rather than embrace them. I've kind of realized that
05:46there's no reason to do that and I really should just a enhance my natural
05:50beauty and you know let it be free and if I do wear makeup I shouldn't use it to
05:56kind of hide anything. After doing this experiment I really learned that it doesn't
06:00have to be something that you use. We don't need makeup to go out in the world
06:05and to go about our days. It's just if you want it then by all means wear it but
06:10you don't have to. You guys are beautiful too the way you are and embrace that.
06:15Thanks for watching guys. See you next time.
