It's time to say: This Is Me.
I have to say, I don't wear much makeup even on the best of occasions. I'm light on the foundation, even opting for tinted moisturiser more often than not these days. If I really feel like being dolled up, I'll add some mascara, a little eyeliner and eyeshadow, and maybe some concealer under my eyes. I'm not a big lipstick fan so I'd usually just go for some clear lip gloss.
But, as a stay-at-home mum slash work-from-home-mum slash budding writer, there isn't much call for makeup most days. There isn't even a real need for brushing my hair and I often just throw it back in a quick ponytail if I'm not going anywhere.
But this is is me as I give my husband a kiss when he comes home from work. This is me as I play with my daughter. This is me when friends drop by to say hi. This is me as I am most days.
PS - head over to Jodie's blog for the links to all the other participants - the support for this idea has been truly overwhelming; Jodie has really struck a chord with a lot of women.

Megan the two of us are in pretty similar situations re make-up and writing and I have to say your "this is me" photo is strong and pretty. Kind of like you are x

Love it Megan, good on you!
megan, you look just beautiful, just as you always do. x
It's the 'everyday' face isn't it? This is how our loved ones see us when we're just at home, doing 'stuff'. You look lovely.
Looking good!!
You look great though I did a double take, you look just like a friend of mine!
I'm a fan of the tinted moisturiser too, feels so much better.
You have the most radiant smile.
Beautiful.
Hey, you look lovely, there's a fabulous vibrant feel to the photo.
You look gorgeous! you are gorgeous! mwah
Your hubby is one lucky man :))
This is weird, I look at your photo and think hey you look just like me when I am not hiding behind my hair or glasses. The difference is I see you and think you are beautiful and confident.
Great photo.
Very beautiful!
You look so gorgeous, Megan!
Gorgeous!
I can relate to the minimal make-up. One of the perks of working from home. I rarely use more than a light foundation and some lip gloss.
I'm having such a great time meeting all the wonderful bloggers taking part today. This has been such a wonderful idea.
why wear makeup when you look so beautiful
Not sure if I commented already, or if it didn't go through, but at the risk of repeating myself: what a great shot. This has been such a fun day! Seeing all these new faces/blogs
fantastic. such happiness flowing through xxx
You're gorgeous! I totally agree with previous comments, you do exude confidence and happiness.
Thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving such a lovely comment! :)
You're gorgeous Megan!
You look fantastic. Love your smile.
I am with you on the whole - make up is overrated - thing. It is timeconsuming.. itching and most of the time people think we look better without it.
ANd on that note - I think you are one of the many that look better without make up. :)
"Me" looks pretty good to me.
You're gorgeous! You look so happy. :)
Fabulous photo and fabulous words to go with it! Beautiful!
You look great!
