I've always had a strained relationship with my freckles - without them, I'd wear significantly less makeup and wouldn't be mistaken for a work-experience student while going about my professional duties.
Last year there were a handful of occasions where I slept in or just could not be arsed wearing makeup out. I was always asked if I felt alright, as I looked unwell, pale or 'terrible'. I took a lot of delight telling people that I was feeling fine - "That's just my face. Thanksssss guys."
Since the new year, I haven't worn makeup to work and only on occasion when I meet with friends. It's lovely to feel more comfortable in (and with) my skin. When I do slap some face on, people comment that I look nice. Turned it around to a positive, aww yeah.
As an added bonus, I am once again asked for ID when buying beer. It's nice to feel young again!
