4 womens

- okay. selfies. - because i felt like i had to. - i had horrible acne as a kid. - i think makeup's fun;that's why i wear it. (uplifting pop music) i think that i started gettinginto makeup in high school because i liked to feel grown up. you know, here's mymakeup bag; i'm an adult.

- when i was younger, ijust wanted to not have any reason for attentionto be drawn to me, which, if you're in highschool, and your skin is, like, patchy and acne-y, that's something that might cause attention to you. - i wore makeup in collegebecause a lot of the girls were wearing makeup, soi was like, oh, okay, i kind of have to keep up. - i almost wear it more as just like,

if i wanted to in an empowering way. (intense, dramatic techno music) - to me, makeup's justabout expressing myself. - my makeup takes 10 minutes to apply, and already that's, like,nine minutes too long. - trends are forever changing so i'm trying to keep up, i guess. - it's fun seeing the mostideal, best version of yourself. - i do think we live in a society

that really does value your looks, and it really does value all these things you can do to enhance your looks. - people are constantly questioning what it means to be a woman. what does being feminine actually mean? - i think it's definitelymore about the fun element and also the therapeutic element. just doing my makeup is sortof, like, a time of reflection.

- it's a choice thatyou, personally, make. if you decide that youdon't wanna show people what your under eye bagslook like, you don't have to. - i think, like, whenpeople don't wear makeup, it's often unfairly seen as,like, a really political choice when it should just be seen as someone deciding not to wear makeup. (upbeat pop music) going into this week, i would say

that i'm mostly just insecureabout going bare skin. - i think day-to-day is gonna be okay. i might be too cocky, but time will tell. - i'm excited i can spend all week doing strange skin care treatments. - i'm excited if i can actually do it, nervous that i'm gonna cheat. - all right, it's off. - here we go.

- it's morning one of no makeup. i am actually pretty nervous about this. i didn't really expect tofeel so self-conscious. the nice thing is, though, because i'm not wearing anymakeup, i've shaved, like, 15 minutes off my ready time, so i was able to sleep in a little bit. now i can go to work, andi'm not gonna be late. - i am too comfortable at work right now.

i don't have any makeup on my face, so i'm just in a full blanket, basically acting likethe office is my bedroom. - i am headed to go get my eyebrows done and my mustache waxed justso i can feel, you know, a little put together for this next week. - i went to a museum today,i went out to dinner, i met someone new, and all without makeup, and i didn't even think twice about it.

so this bodes well forthe rest of my week. - it's a little bitawkward 'cause i feel like, just being at the officeand being bare faced makes me feel like i'min high school again and i'm really young, but i'm trying to be confident and sassy. - i didn't wash my hairtoday, and that's okay because there's no illusion to be kept up. we're just having a good time,

me and my dirty hair andmy bare face, and you know, i got a pimple over here, buy hey. - so i'm going to myfriend's album release party, and it's a night event, it'sat a bar, trying to dress cute. i'm realizing it's notas bad during the day, but at night, i really dowanna throw some makeup on. i just posted a picture on instagram without makeup from the event last night. it took me a second to really, kind of

muster up the courage to post it. i never post pictures without makeup. - i'm out shopping right now, and i actually had to go tosephora and get a lot of makeup for a different shoot, andi was a little intimidated going in there becauseeveryone in there just has, like, such amazing makeup looks, and i was walking in therewith a completely bare face. - we're at a restaurant with no makeup on.

it's pretty okay. today, i was, like, very on the go. - yeah. - i was, like, upstairs, downstairs, turning in paperwork, scanningthings, organizing my desk, and i was just, like, you know what, i'm on the go, i'm sweating a little bit, and it's good that i don't have makeup on. - mmhm.

i'm getting bored. also, i'm wearing oneof my favorite jerseys, which is bright purple, and so i feel like i do have a little bitof, like, va-va-voom with my look, but just,like, a boring ass face. - and i've been sweating the entire day, and so i guess i'm kind of glad that i'm not wearing makeup today. i just didn't even haveto deal with, like,

trying to dab, you know. - so today, we're going on our team outing to a wine safari, and ofcourse today would be a day where i would throw on some makeup, especially some concealer,'cause, like, look under my eyes. - i spent my time before our outing using chantel's real scissors,yeah, her real scissors, to trim the top of my brows,which is a good use of my time, since i don't need tobe putting makeup on.

- we are about to embarkon the malibu wine safari. no makeup, but i got mychoker and my chapstick. - i gotta tell you, we are in the presence of some handsome littlecutie pies driving a truck, and i think all of usfelt very comfortable. - yeah.- we're chill. - weren't really thinking about it. - none of us are wearing makeup, and i think we look pretty cute.

(camera shutter) - i didn't think i'd feel self-conscious, but i do feel a little bituncomfortable every day just being like, yeah, this is my face. - i don't know, guys, i don't know. this is, i didn't expect it to be hard. more props to alicia keys and just women who go out to these big events and truly don't care aboutwhat people are gonna say.

i thought i would be ableto do that no problem, and it's proving a lotharder than i thought. - i am about to ventureinto a ladylike video with no makeup on. all right, let's do it. (group chatting) my bare face, my bare face on set. through this experience,i think i've learned to, sort of, cut myself some slack.

if i'm having an awesomeexperience somewhere or doing something really dope, what i've learned is to justcapture myself in that moment and post it on social media. don't say, oh, i don'thave my makeup bag with me, oh, this isn't the right lip color for the selfie that iwould like to post, because i'm missing out on capturingsomething really, really dope. - this week, i expected someone to tell me

that i looked tired. instead, i had two people tell me that my face just lookedso clean and so fresh. - overall, this week wasn't actually filled with emotional hurdles. it was more of a homecoming. it was more like, youwould prefer to sleep in because that's who you are,but i also love makeup. so i don't think i'm givingit up after this week.

- sadly, truthfully, i think people do judge other people on their appearance. i don't give a shit if yousee my face without makeup. - i think, slowly but surely,we're getting towards a point where women aren't expectedto look or act a certain way. people are being allowedto live out their truth. - so it's been a week of no makeup. - no makeup at all. - and we're about to celebrate

by posting on instagramusing the #freshfacefriday. so we're challenging allof you guys to do the same. - post those selfies, baby.- do it! - post this friday on instagramusing the #freshfacefriday. - hey, ya'll, click onthat post over there. see more videos from our channel. - some of our favorites are in there. - and some we like just okay. - but watch anyway.

- because we love you.- yeah. - we love you.- i'm sleepy. (uplifting music)
