Vulnerable. Judged. Chastised.

These are the negative feelings that are sometimes associated with leaving the house without makeup. Women can be extremely hard on themselves when it comes to physical appearance— especially young women on college campuses. 

Beautiful. Natural. Confident. These are words that should describe anyone who approaches the world head-on and fresh-faced. Embrace your natural beauty!

Hold your head high, Auburn! You are beautiful — especially without makeup. 

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode, but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives— the passion that she shows. The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years.  -Audrey Hepburn

Be well, Auburn.
