A little while a go, I posted a forum asking chicks what they thought of the 'before and after' picture trend, because lately, I can't get enough of them! Seriously, my love for them is getting a bit out of hand, I will be featured on My Strange Addiction any time now. 

If you haven't really seen or heard about this trend, here's the down low: basically girls post pictures of themselves with no makeup on at all and then, with all their makeup on. It doesn't sound like much but when you actually see the differences on some ladies, it's pretty striking. This is especially popular in Asia, where they have television shows centred around it. 

Presenting myself on the Internet with no makeup on whatsoever, isn't something I like to make a habit of. I, like anyone, have my insecurities and flaws that I'm not too keen to show off. I spoke about my specific skin type in my Staff Skincare article and I mentioned that I have acne prone skin. I would consider my acne to be the thing I am most self conscious about. 

I am a self professed concealer junkie and almost never go out without it on. But, I love you chicks and you ladies are always so flattering when I do post pictures so I thought I would dare to bare all my makeup for you! 


So, there it is! On the left, is myself with no makeup on. On the right, I am wearing my everyday makeup look. This is typical of what I would wear everyday to work or on the weekends. Here's what I use: 

Face
Make Up For Ever HD High Definition Primer
La Neige Snow BB Cream 
Garnier Skin Renew Tinted Anti Dark Circle Roller
Make Up For Ever HD High Definition Foundation
Hard Candy Glamoflauge Concealer - p.s. you guys, this is my absolute favourite concealer and it is dirt cheap, definitely a recommended product! 
Revlon PhotoReady Concealer

Lips 
Benefit Ultra Plush Lip Gloss in Coralista, coincidentally you can also win the same lip gloss this week! 
 
I need to admit that after I wrote this list down, I realized exactly how much I use on my face and I'm starting to wonder if it's worth it. Let me know what your thoughts on my before and after! Can you tell a major difference or just small details here and there? Would you ever do something like this?
