Wouldn’t it be nice to live in a world where people are not judged by their appearance? Then you could go out in public with all your pimples and dark spots and discolorations, moles, warts, fine lines and deep wrinkles, mustache shadow and what not, and no one will make you feel like you’re the ugliest thing that has ever walked the face of earth.
But we don’t like in a world where people are not judged by their appearance. And some of us aren’t born with the courage it takes to show our real imperfect face to the world without concern for what anyone might think of our looks.
Few women are so lucky to have so-called perfect skin. Some of us need a major make-over every day to look just reasonably okay. Others can just put on a little lip gloss and clear mascara and go. This minimal everyday makeup how-to is for those ladies who don’t require a major make-over before they can get to at least a 5 on the beauty scale.
