Make-up free Monday, no filter. Have you ever wondered why I’m such a fan of TikTok filters and FaceApp etc? Well, I am not good at applying make-up, and I never have been, and don’t always have the spoons.
I am also somewhat self-conscious about the scars around my left eye and eyebrow, from getting knocked off my bike by a car pulling out from a side street five years ago, throwing me face-first into the road. Filters are fun, and they save me from having to bother putting make-up on over my scars.
Image descriptions:
1) Make-up free selfie, no filter, showing me, a 40-something female-presenting person with some minor scarring around my left eye, under my left nostril and above my lip, and gaps in my left eyebrow.
2) Photo of my scabby, bruised face, taken about a week after getting knocked off my bike in July 2018.
