No lie: Aside from saving an hour of sleep every morning, trading my Kardashian-worthy contouring for a restrained dab of lip tint wasn't easy. It made me feel naked and less like myself, but it also uncovered just how much my sense of self is linked to that bursting makeup bag. And even though I couldn't be happier to be reunited with my high-maintenance routine three days later, I learned that I definitely don't need all those products to feel confident. Since completing the challenge, I've even gone bare-faced a few times. It's all about what I'm feeling that day — as opposed to what I'm worried others will think.
