Known as the city that never sleeps, Hong Kong never bores people with its notable nightclubs<\/a>, best happy hours<\/a> and rooftop bars<\/a>. Everyone is always partying, connecting and taking selfies. As an Asian woman living in Hong Kong<\/a>, wearing a ton of foundation with blush\/bronzer (depending if you\u2019re a baby Asian or an ABC Asian) seems like the norm. Despite having worked in the beauty industry prior to my role at Honeycombers, I\u2019ve gradually given up on using all my makeup for the past few months, even though I have ample time in the morning to do my routine instead of making breakfast. It\u2019s weird how I feel more confident since not wearing makeup and I think women should give it a go more often.<\/p>\n

Why does not wearing makeup in Hong Kong seem so difficult?<\/h3>\n

Living in a city that thrives on consumption and competition, people are raised to abide by certain beauty trends and dress codes – flawless makeup, hairless skin, pale skin, skinny legs, heels, the list goes on. Even if we\u2019re not talking specifically about Hong Kong, this is a phallocentric world we\u2019re living in, and women are taught to carry more responsibility in making themselves \u201clook good\u201d to show that they\u2019re both professional and wife-able. If you\u2019re out and about meeting people at work without a decorated face, it seems like you\u2019re not taking your job seriously. Yes, it\u2019s crazy how a woman\u2019s social credibility depends upon how\/if she does her makeup.<\/p>\n

Why did I start not wearing makeup?<\/h3>\n

I\u2019ve never been one of those talented people that knows how to wear a full-face of makeup – foundation and bronzer are way too much effort – and I\u2019m lazy and unskilled. A bit of a disclaimer is that I don\u2019t have flawless skin like YouTubers online do, who can totally pull off a #nomakeup video with their glowing skin. Hormonal acnes is still a thing for me.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, I used to draw on my brows, put on eyeliner and mascara but I wasn\u2019t sure if I solely focused on my eyes as some sort of compensation because Western media has always thrown shade to Asians\u2019 almond-shaped eyes?<\/p>\n

Occasionally I showed up at work or at group hangs without any makeup, people would say stuff that was half-genuine and half-consolation-sounding like: \u201cI like how stripped down you look\u201d, \u201cyou look adorable\u201d, etc. Were these pity compliments? No, I don\u2019t really think they were. The more I tried not wearing makeup, the more I noticed that it really wasn\u2019t a big deal. You might not be “hot” or “sexy” as defined by the media, but at the end of the day you\u2019re alright – you\u2019re just a piece of flesh, eerie as it is meant to be – like everyone else.<\/p>\n

\"not<\/p>\n

Confidence is key (even if you\u2019re just a lazy piece of sh*t)<\/h3>\n

I\u2019m not going to go through the whole \u201ceveryone is beautiful in their own way\u201d kind of speech here. Some people are just more genetically gifted and some just tend to impress people anywhere they go with their stunning makeup. But in reality, people are way too self-absorbed to care about how you look. Nobody ACTUALLY cares. People like to judge but people don\u2019t care.<\/p>\n

The key to get over your insecurity is to not give fucks anymore. When you stop giving fucks about what others think or how you should look like, you acknowledge and accept the most insecure part of yourself – in ways that makeup never did, at least not for me. Attraction and rapport build over time, and having confidence with your bare skin is way more attractive than being all done up and insecure on the inside. That\u2019s why I\u2019ve stopped wearing makeup, because I realised what I\u2019ve been lacking isn\u2019t an attractive face (okay maybe that too), but really what matters even more is confidence and acceptance. And through not wearing makeup, I\u2019ve learnt that everyone is equally ugly just as they are, so ugly that it\u2019s also so pretty, and vice versa, so who gives a fuck?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
