In February of this year, Today Show anchors discussed the topic of Body Image. As part of their "Love your Selfie" campaign, they filmed a makeup-free Monday. Check out this clip where they discuss their thoughts on body image and post images of themselves without makeup.
We decided to join their "No Makeup Monday" by posting images of us with and without makeup. It's fun to see our images side-by-side and realize that with or without makeup we are still beautiful. In posting these photos we are by no means encouraging individuals to never wear makeup. I for one, sometimes enjoy the process of applying makeup. Other people even see it as an art form. What has become bothersome to me, is when I hear young teenage girls talking negatively about themselves without makeup and embarrassed to be seen without it. Girls are beginning to wear makeup at younger ages and our society has created the idea that there is no such thing as natural beauty. Makeup doesn't equal beauty!
Join the challenge by posting makeup-less photos of yourself on your own Instagrams and Facebook pages or you can even send them to the Today Show to be posted on their website.
