Good afternoon my lovelies, and Happy Saturday! I saw this really cool "Beauty Base Zero" Challenge the other day on Cady Everdeen's blog. Being a lover of The Hunger Games books, where the original idea for the challenge came from, I had to do it and beg Billy to play along.
An excerpt from the book: "Remake her to Beauty Base Zero,” Fulvia ordered first thing this morning. “We’ll work from there.” Beauty Base Zero turns out to be what a person would look like if they stepped out of bed looking flawless but natural. It means my nails are perfectly shaped but not polished. My hair soft and shiny but not styled. My skin smooth and clear but not painted. - Mockingjay, The Hunger Games
My "Beauty Base Zero" is really simple. A simple updo, the skin I always wear in the clean version, and the basic Eyelashes that I can't live without. In all honesty, I'm also usually nude, but I figured I would throw on a bra and panties.
Of course I also end up wearing my mesh hands and feet (because we all know how bad system hands and feet are). So this is where I start when blogging, the bare minimum with just the basics. I choose what I want to wear from there, and change my skin's makeup 4 or 5 times, as well as add the sparkly things and pretty hair. If you know me, you know that this process can actually take hours sometimes!
Billy, seems to have the right idea here guys, messy bed hair, his perfect mesh feet, and his sexy glasses. I swear he rarely takes them off, though he did for at least one picture - Yay! I've watched him get dressed a few times, and he seems to have the same general method as me. Of course minus the makeup, things that sparkle, and pretty hair.
He also takes about a 1/3 of the time I do getting ready, it must be a guy thing. It's nice to see that even the guy bloggers start simple like us girls do, right? We all have to start somewhere, even the guys.
To find the original challenge check out Portia Pexington's blog post here. Until next time, happy shopping my lovelies!
With Love and Cupcakes,
