- [Together] Yeah.
(upbeat music)
- I recently went off birth control
and it's the first time I've ever experienced acne.
I'm worried that, I don't know why I care what people think,
but I guess I'm worried about what
other people are going to think.
- So I think there is some professionalism
related to how you present yourself.
Guys don't usually wear makeup, so why should girls.
- There is something about putting
on makeup that does make me just
stand up a little taller and go
at the world with a little more confidence.
I don't look tired cause I'm not.
I'm not feeling sick cause I'm not.
I'm just not wearing makeup right now.
- This is probably the first time
that I haven't at least put eyeliner on since high school.
Normally I would do a very heavy black eyeliner,
some mascara and I would cover under my eyes.
So it's not a lot but it's enough
that I feel very different.
- I'm on my way to work wearing no makeup whatsoever.
When people aren't wearing makeup,
their humanity kind of radiates through
and I put a little bit of coverup
on some of these spots and scars here.
- This is actually the first time that I'm
going bareface to work.
I normally at least have some foundation on
or something that just covers up my blemishes.
- I'm really excited about the prospect
of just doing this all day and not worrying about smudging.
- I'm not very confident.
I really shouldn't be scared of showing my face.
This is my natural face.
- It doesn't feel like the real me.
The real me feels like me with makeup on
which is also a fucking terrible thing to say.
- No makeup with my dear friend.
- No makeup.
I feel fine, honestly.
I'm not really thinking about it.
When I see myself I'm like oh, that's different.
- I can eat a messy lunch
without worrying about my lipstick.
- So I took some selfies at lunch.
- Yes.
- And I was like oh it's actually not that bad.
- No, you look great.
- You look great too.
Knowing that there are other girls
with me not wearing makeup.
- Yeah.
- It just makes me feel like, oh, I'm not the only one.
- Yeah and then you look at them and they look great.
- Yeah.
- And then they tell you you look great.
So it's just like this really wonderful cycle of acceptance.
- I've been told that I look glowy and dewy
like a glossier beauty without any makeup on today.
- Makeup in general, I think it accentuates
a certain type of beauty but no makeup
also accentuates a different type of beauty.
- Definitely.
- And I think both are so important.
- I've been feeling pretty good.
I wonder if the guys are gonna notice.
- Alright, Price.
- Ash.
- Question for you.
- Okay.
- Have you noticed anything different about
me or a lot of the women in the office today?
- Oh, shit.
Does it have to do with makeup?
- It does.
- Okay.
- Have you noticed anything about
all the women at Buzzfeed today?
- I actually did not and now I feel really terrible,
was I supposed to?
- Okay, this is weird.
- Uh, I.
Really don't see anything different.
- Okay, I'm not wearing makeup today.
- Oh.
- You know, my thoughts on women wearing makeup
are like my thoughts on women doing most things,
which is do your thing.
- You don't have lipstick on.
- Yeah.
- You don't have any eyeliner on either.
- Wow, okay.
- None of us are wearing makeup today.
- Oh, really?
Oh, you look as beautiful as always.
No, seriously though, I didn't notice that.
For me it doesn't matter whether you wear makeup or not.
Whatever you're happy doing.
- I posted a picture of my fresh-ass face.
- You did?
- On Instagram and you commented
that you had no idea that I was wearing makeup today.
- I didn't realize that you weren't wearing makeup.
You don't look tired, you don't look sick
like the normal comments that women get
when they don't wear makeup.
- You didn't notice that most of the women
you've come across are totally barefaced?
- No.
I'm like trying to go back through
all the women I've seen today.
- I still love you.
- [Camerawoman] Do you?
- Yeah.
- [Camerawoman] You still love me, pimples and all?
- Mmhm.
- Thanks, bae.
- This is the end of the workday.
I made it.
It wasn't that bad actually.
You know the camaraderie of all the women at work
also not wearing makeup really
made me feel more secure in it too.
- Embrace all the flaws, all the scars,
all these thoughts you have in your head,
just let em go and take it away with a makeup wipe
and just be yourself.
