I'll Take it as a Compliment

I changed my Facebook profile picture (as seen in the image here). Not a big deal in itself. I had a comment from a friend to say that I looked beautiful on it. Of course, I agreed - that was why I changed it to that one! :D Anyway, friend mentioned something about how wearing a little make-up raises the spirits. Personally, it's never really done that for me. Anyway, I wasn't quite sure how to take it - did she mean that I looked like I was wearing make-up and I didn't always look great? Or was it implicit in the compliment that I am beautiful without make-up? I don't know! Considering the friend who said it, I know it was all meant lovingly. It is, however, not the first time someone has thought I was wearing make-up when I wasn't. As I told my friend, I don't own any make-up! So, I'm not sure the point of this really other than showing off with a little ego boost for myself! Have you had any lovely compliments lately? Do you have a photo of yourself that makes you feel particularly beautiful? Do you see your own beauty in the mirror every day?

Not recently. I do have one that people said I have a nice smile. I haven't changed my photo in over a year. That's a beautiful one you have there.

Your skin is perfect, lucky you. I very rarely like photos of myself. (Is your mum ok?)

My skin isn't as perfect as it looks here! As I said to someone else, I think it's the light! Mum is OK, thank you. Grumpy as ever :)

First of all, you look beautiful! What I see in your pic and what your friend has probably seen is the dark lower eyelashes, which gives an aspect of eyeliner applied to the lower eyelid and your lips look glossy :) She simply meant to say that you look great and you know that you are lucky to look fresh and pretty naturally, while most of us spend hours painting our faces to get the same effect.

Thank you. I know my friend meant it in a nice way. I think most people look better without make-up :) My partner likes the fact that I don't wear it. He thinks I'm beautiful, especially when I smile because he says I smile with my eyes and my whole face lights up. I think that's why I like thos picture so much because I think it shows that:)
