A couple of weeks ago, I was having my makeup done for a shoot. I wanted a sleek liquid cat eye to achieve a graphic punk look. I've never felt too self-conscious. My face is what it is; I have better days than others, and to be honest, I never spend too much time scrutinizing it because…1 - I don't have the time, 2 - there's not much I can do about it… well…I could, but I've never really been interested in going down that road chasing perfection because it's never-ending. However, I've always tried to maintain what I have by having a healthy lifestyle and looking after myself, and so far, I've never really been conscious about aging. Of course… there are lines on my forehead… a bit around the eyes…, but that's life…, and I never minded it. Being and feeling natural has always been the most important thing to me, and I am too scared to change it with anything invasive.
