I think it can be both of those things depending...and I definitely go between the two! On the one hand, I like how makeup looks on me, it makes me feel pretty, I feel some confidence when I dress nicely and I think that is a positive. But, I also have insecurities around my looks and feel exposed when I'm not wearing makeup. I have been going out a bit more (close to home...groceries or just popping out to an appointment) without makeup and at first it was very anxiety-provoking! I am certain that I look different - more tired, redness, acne/scaring etc., but eventually I just let go of my concern for what someone else might think. I try to wear makeup to feel good about myself, not in response to not feeling good...if that makes sense.
