"  Challenge day has come and gone, and I hope everyone had as much fun with it as I did! Looking back, I have to ask: What did we learn? As for me, it gave a new perspective on what&amp;#039;s really important, and it inspired me to continue to go without makeup as often as possible. I think it&amp;#039;s a good reminder that, in the big scheme of life, a make up free face is not the end of the world. My hope is that, through yesterday&amp;#039;s challenge, we&amp;#039;ll all be able to start down the path towards full beauty peace. I&amp;#039;m not going to sit here and preach to you to never wear makeup-I think we all know that&amp;#039;s unrealistic. Furthermore, if it&amp;#039;s used in moderation, it can be fun! Learning to fully accept ourselves as we are is a process-we are evolving now, and we will be for a quite some time. As you continue on with your day-to-day life, don&amp;#039;t forget the lessons you learned yesterday. Next time you reach for the cover up, challenge yourself and ask: Who is this for, and why am I putting it on? Trust me, we all understand wanting to use make up every now and then-at times it&amp;#039;s the confidence booster we need. But hopefully, yesterday&amp;#039;s challenge will mark the end of make up as a mask, and we can learn to find the balance, and the confidence from within. A big congratulations to all the girls that participated...and if you didn&amp;#039;t, don&amp;#039;t be too hard on yourself! Tomorrow is another day to try again.
