Can a woman be successful without makeup?

Geez that's a long routine. I apply mascara once I get to work, if I add in liner & brows it takes me 3-4 mins

I exfoliated daily, & oil cleanse at night. When I wore foundation I'd breakout occasionally, plus have dry patches. Now I can't remember the last time I had a pimple, & no more dry patches.

Any time I get acne I can point to the day I didn't wash my face properly. I can ise oil to remove makeup, but if I don't wash my face after I break out. My face likes lotions and serums but not oil, even though my skin is very dry.

I don't know. I have never felt like 30 minutes to get ready to leave or get ready for bed was a long routine, though fancy face adding an additional 30 minutes is a long time in the mirror even to me. It is so soothing though, so I have never minded as long as I have the time. When I lived in N.Y., I used to do some of it on the subway.

I flat out just feel more beautiful and confident when wearing makeup. This contributes to my overall experiences outside of my home. The more confident I feel, the more I am willing to go get what I want, and in turn become more successful!
