BARE FACED- The face behind the make up

Hello my loves,
This post is a pretty big deal to me for me. Quite simply because I do not go anywhere without my make up, I just don't. I'm not happy like it and if I do then you can guarantee my confidence will be at a major low.
But I have decided to share my utter bare face with you all because
1. I have decided that I should really just try to embrace my make up free face sometimes- especially when I'm going away to Thailand and don't intend on taking much at all
2. I have so many comments about my skin looking "flawless" but don't be fooled- it's pretty much good lighting and a caking of Studio Fix Fluid
and finally
3. I feel like every "FOTD" on my blog would be a lie if I didn't post what I look like before because lets face it- I really don't look anything like them underneath the masses of product.
I don't have bad skin at all, I don't really get spots but I have an uneven complexion, huge bags and annoying blemishes all over the place and I hate it. We all have our insecurities and this is me trying to tackle mine.
Introducing my face and my "Facebook face"..
This is my face just before getting ready today, taken on Photobooth- not the best quality but that's not what I'm going for here.
Just a fake tanned face pre concealer, foundation, bronzer and mascara.
Plain.

This is me with my face on and camera flash on.
Like a different person right?
This post really is a big deal to me- I feel like I'm taking my mask off to the world. Okay, pretty dramatic but really, half of the people that actually know me would have never even seen me bare faced so please be kind.

    I think everyone feels the same way, I know I do and I'm not quite ready for my bare face to be on my blog but well done to you for doing it. We're all human after all! x

    I'm sure your bare face is beautiful! It's just one of them things that us make up obsessed girls are always going to feel I think! We all have our insecurities.
    I will be horrified for posting this in the morning haha. xx

    Hate to break it to you doll, you don't look that different. Still completely gorgeous. I've always preferred the natural look, bit of concealer, mascara & lip blam. You'll be fighting them off with a stick in thailand. Pretty pretty pretty! X

    You look gorgeous! I completely understand about insecurities. I guess most of us have our insecurities about not wearing make-up. You can feel you can hide a bit xx

    Thanks for sharing this with us, I don't go anywhere without my makeup on either so I know what a big deal it is to show us! I haven't managed that leap yet, but good on you for doing it!

    To be honest, there isn't even that much of a difference. You're beautiful with or without.

    You're gorgeous the way you are! I wish I was brave enough to do this, I hate my skin. It's uneven and I have super large pores, so I never go without makeup. Lately I've only been wearing tinted moisturiser which is a massive step down for me. It makes me feel good that it's not so much of a 'mask'! xx

    You're very gorgeous without makeup, you look absolutely fine without it! Although, I really love the way the red lipstick is your trademark though, it makes your eyes pop!

    You were SO brave to do this post & look at the feedback you've got from it, so positive,
    You look beautiful with & without makeup but its unbelieveable how we use it as a security blanket, i know il never have the courage to dare to bare, but i have a hell of a lot of respect for you doing it :) xx

    Its great to see that you use makeup to enhance your natural beauty and features rather than to create a whole new face!

    You seriously look more amazing without makeup than most people I've seen! Plus I've always admired that even when you do wear makeup it looks very natural and never over-done :)
