I am in my 20's and have a lot of wrinkles around my eyes. I used to be embarrassed about them, but then I realized that I probably got them from smiling a lot. That thought has really helped me overcome my insecurity with them. I also have some gray hairs, but have decided they show my wisdom. Everytime I find a new one must mean I am getting wiser. These silly, positive affirmations have really helped me to learn to love my body.
I'm 30 and also have loads of wrinkles around my eyes that really show when I smile. For a while it made me stop smiling as much. Which is ridiculous! Hell yeah we have wrinkles from smiling, because our smiles are shining so bright into the world!
😘😘😘🌹❤️🥰 you are worthy of love sweetie 😘🌹🥰❤️
Girl, you are nutrient deficient. Grey hair and wrinkles in twenties are not normal. You can learn to love your body while nourishing yourself too.
It means you’ve been happy a lot, wear them with pride queen ♥️💋
Same thing happened to me! I used to be VERY insecure about not wearing makeup outside, mostly learned from watching the other women in my life have the same dependent relationship with makeup. I decided to not wear it for a week in college because I didn't like how it was controlling my mood. Years later and I don't wear any foundation, concealer, etc. If I'm feeling fancy I will throw on minimal eye makeup, but I don't feel chained to makeup anymore. It has helped my confidence tremendously! :)
Yess!! That’s the biggest shift! Not feeling chained to it or the NEED to wear it but just wearing some whenever we’re want for fun ☺️ makes all the difference!
You are literally glowing Raya!
Thank you!! ☺️❤️

YES WE LOVE A NO MAKEUP CONFIDENT SKINCARE QUEEEEEEN
Thanks sis!! Love you!! ❤️
We stannnnn
So I'm not the only one! I love how my skin looks like without foundation. Foundation makes it look like a blank canvas and for my skin colour and tone it's really hard to find a good match. I feel like it hides my beautiful dark skin.
Yes!! So true, foundation cover up our natural color a lot of the time ❤️
@@RayaWasHere Absolutely 😍❤
I used to be completely makeup free with clear skin like you in this video! But when i started a corporate customer facing job I decided i would wear a full face of makeup to work every day. This turned out to be the worst possible thing for me as i started to get horrific breakouts all over my face. No matter how “right” i did everything, my acne kept getting worse and i kept putting on the makeup to cover it up, and it just became a vicious cycle. I didnt have any confidence to walk outside the house without makeup anymore, even walking around my house was terrifying for me because my family would point out my pimples and the scarring. I couldn’t even bear to look at myself in the mirror. Recently my country went into lockdown and i promised myself i wouldnt wear any makeup for the entire time. To be honest, I didn’t see any improvement and i still kept getting deep cystic painful pimples pop up the entire month. I had zoom meetings with my friends and my colleagues which i was super concerned about so i turned on the blur filter and sat in bad lighting so it was hard to see my skin. Eventually my doctor prescribed me acne medication because it wasnt getting better, but going without makeup has really encouraged me to accept myself for who i am and look at who i am on the inside rather than the outside. I always knew this about my body, so why shouldnt i also feel that way about my face? When you love yourself, your confidence shines through like the sun, and you are glowing just like that in this video 💛
You go girl! You are so beautiful and don't need any makeup at all. I also have severely acne prone skin and gave up makeup many years ago even though I was very insecure about it. We need to have more conversations like this. We need to support all women if they do or don't want to wear makeup. Right now, society tells us that we need to - sometimes it will even affect if a women gets a job or not depending on her profession. This is completely messed up. We need to support the idea that all women are beautiful and no one should feel like they MUST wear makeup for any reason.
You are a natural beauty and don’t even need makeup.
Loved this. I too stopped wearing makeup daily and rarely bother now as I focus on skincare. Would love to hear your skincare routine as your skin is glowing!
I’ll definitely keep sharing it! Maybe will do a whole separate video ☺️
Amen Sister!!! I've went through the same journey. I was wearing makeup even before high school and was super insecure. Especially when NOT wearing makeup was something abnormal. But last year I went solo backpacking and just stopped using makeup. It was simply uncomfortable to have it on my skin and there was no reason for wearing it whatsoever. And I felt GREAT without makeup, and got even more positive attention than usual hahahaha. So yeah, "check with your heart why you're using makeup" because if you want to hide your natural beauty, it is so not worth it!!!
100%!! So happy you had a similar awakening ❤️ traveling will do that! (Especially out in nature!)
Love this, Raya :-))) Thank you for starting a conversation about this, I also stopped wearing makeup about 4 years ago and my skin has gotten sooo much better and I feel a lot more myself and free 🥰🥰🥰
Yay that’s so amazing to hear!! ☺️
I just do my eyebrows but I’m growing it out and I use a lip liner to shape and make it more toned. I cringe putting makeup on because I don’t want it to see in my pores and cause breakout. I’m accepting my textured skin but it’s clearing up. Love my dark circles and wrinkles
Try goat milk it clear the dark circles , soap . It does an amazing thing.
Yesterday I was feeling really sad and anxious because I realized that I may never find the perfect foundation shade that matches my skin tone. They either look too orange or my skin looks like I’m dying/ashy. I love my skin tone and it’s so unique. I’m glad I came across this video this morning. You are so beautiful! I think I want to focus more on skin care as well. Thank you for this video :)
Going makeup free has honestly been the best thing for me. It's been skincare all the way for me. I have so much more time to sleep and not hurry to get ready in the morning. I haven't bought foundation, concealer, powder, bronzer or highlighter in over a year. I just do my eyebrows because they only halfway exist without help :(
I have always LOVED makeup, and I still enjoy it. I have found that the older I get the less I wear. I no longer wear foundation, but I do use a little concealer because I have a bit of rosasea. I would love to get to the point where I feel comfortable without anything at all.
That’s so beautiful that you enjoy it! I always found myself using it to ‘cover up’ but I’m excited to start playing with it once in a while now just for fun ☺️
Oh my gosh, likewise for every aspect! Absolutely nothing against those who love to wear makeup, it's art, and from time to time on occasions I'll do it for fun too- but in 2017 I was full on makeup, couldn't leave home without it. These days, sometimes I touch up my brows or sometimes do lash extensions, but that's it! Tinted lip balm is my best friend. Focused on water intake, as well as the foods I consume; usually your insides will reflex on the outside when it comes to health. It's SO refreshing not feeling an obligation or pressure to put on a face anymore. This is ME, as I am in my natural state. Take it or leave it! 🤍
Yes!! Totally agree!! ❤️❤️ so happy for you ☺️
I hope to be makeup-free soon, except for special occasions. Some things the past few years lead to me not drinking enough water on and off, making my dark circles look awful. I have lots of catching up to do with rehydrating my body.
In the past I've gone without makeup for months. It felt amazing letting my skin breathe and taking less time to get ready for whatever I had on for the day 🥰
That’s such a great reminder! When we cover up with makeup it can be easy to ignore the underlying cause of whatever we’re covering up. I also definitely used to be dehydrated but now as I don’t wear makeup I can see it right away if I don’t take care of myself!
your skin looks amaaazing!❤❤ this is so inspirational
I feel this journey so much! I rarely wear makeup anymore when 2 years ago, I wouldn’t leave the house without a full face on. Get it girl!
Yes! I love this! I stopped wearing make up too and it's so liberating! I created a video also talking about my journey from wearing make up since school even to see family & friends to now not wearing it everyday. I might wear make up if I want to, but not because I feel like I have to! It's such a change and I think we're the same! Thanks for always being a positive light!
Yess sounds like we had a very similar journey! So happy to hear that you feel this way now too ☺️💕
I started wearing mascara every day when I was 14, I think. However after a year my eye lids would burn when I had to remove it (I had very very bad painful eczema). So I didn't really have a choice but to stop. That's when I started longing for dark lashes (I'm very blond haha). A year later (final year of high school) the eczema I think didn't really appear on my eyelids anymore, so I started wearing it again, this time with so much colour on my eyelids, I cannot even imagine doing that anymore. I remember the first day of university I had an eye infection, I was a bit embarrassed, but it kind of set the tone of me not caring what my fellow students would think. Last year, when I started studying abroad again, I was so caught up in hard uni stuff, I just grew to reeeally not care. I did like to put some mascara on, even when I went studying sometimes, it just made me feel a bit more awake. But I just know friends don't care, and the people who do care I don't care for. I think in the end I'd worn mascara maybe half of the time I was going somewhere. I've never used foundation or anything, even though I would always have a pimple, simply bc I just know my skin would hate me for it. And I also don't like how 'too clean' it looks, even when applied properly, it's so far off from a real face or sth. I'm totally with you on focussing on how to keep my skin good with the food and water I take in! I still break out, but it's just idk, human nature.
Yes!! I totally agree, reading this made me think about how powerful it is to go out as a woman with a breakout and no makeup - to be normalizing anything but ‘perfect, flawless skin’! How powerful if we all just showed who we naturally are ☺️
At the begin of Covid, my country sent us into lockdown (South Africa) and I decided to just not wear makeup when being home alone - one year later now and everything is opening up again - but I'm still not wearing any makeup!! One positive thing that came from this terrible situation. I'm so confident and happy now about my skin.
Same!!
To be honest you really do not need any make up. You are a very beautiful women. I only use make up for big occasions or just for fun. It is the best gift you can give to your skin.
Thank you! I fully agree, it makes such a huge difference to let our skin breathe ❤️
Being completely and totally honest, your skin looks stunning already! You are definitely a natural beauty. 💓
I didn't really wear makeup throughout my school years.
Only on special occasions I'd use mascara, eyeliner, lip balm or lipstick & that was it. So why did I feel the need to wear makeup when I went my whole high school years wearing nothing?
I knew something was up when I started to feel like I needed makeup. Just seeing social media with alot of people wearing makeup/our favorite influencers & celebrities.
I felt the need to do it too.
I'm learning to only do it for myself when I just want to enhance my natural authentic self. Makeup is very expressive & I've grown to love it while also remembering I don't need it to feel worthy. I'm my most comfortable self wearing lip balm & sweatpants - Literally my 2020 aesthetic. Now I just go by however I'm feeling that day.
If I wanna wear makeup I'll do it for me & only me because I'm worthy of my self love.
Plus I wanna look like I'm in Euphoria sometimes lol🙌🏽💙🤷🏽♀️😗
You inspire me so much Raya, for all the reasons! Thanks for being here and sharing all of you
Thank you!! I really appreciate your support ❤️
I just found your video! I stopped wearing foundation a month ago; I’m still self conscious but I am so happy I found your videos and it gives me confidence to continue without foundation. Thank you 🙏🏻❤️
Wow. You're so pretty naturally. You look like you're wearing makeup! I'd never wear it either if I look like you. I have no coloring
It hasn't always been this way, but I sincerely look bad now without makeup. I think my skin is jaded .. but it's really hard to stop caring in order to let my skin heal. But this was encouraging, thank you.
You look amazing, Raya!!
I think I understand you. I *love* makeup but I can go for weeks sometimes without wearing any. The hangup is when people start wearing it for the wrong reasons - not that anyone should be judged for wanting to use it to feel more secure, far from it. But no one should be telling people they should be wearing it. It's such an individual choice at the end of the day.
I actually thought you had makeup on you are glowing!
I have been less and less attached to makeup but still no 100% as I have super duper dark and deep dark circles. People ask me if I haven't slept, even after sleeping for 10hrs. I just feel more confident when I hide them and feel more awake as sometimes they are warm to the touch. It's genetic and there's no effective way to get rid of them. But i have been doing better in letting people see me without any makeup.
You have such natural beauty. You look like you have mascara & eye shadow on!
I’m super dependent on makeup to feel ok about myself and it does kinda worry me so I’ve been working on going out with just tinted sunscreen and it’s going pretty well. I do hope to eventually get comfortable with nothing on. My skin is very ruddy and uneven so that’s my biggest concern. You are young and have gorgeous skin so honestly, it seems easier for someone like that.
I love this!!! I quit wearing complexion products completely this summer and my skin looks so nice. I feel so much better not having any foundation/concealer on my skin. The only thing I like wearing is blush, tinted lip balm and mascara.
If my motive for putting on make up is wrong, should I quit putting it on? I wear makeup because I don't feel good/pretty enough when I'm around people, but after checking in with my heart, whenever I try to put makeup on before I leave the house, I feel fake ---- I feel like I am trying to wear a mask, I don't feel like it's the true version of me - I really want to quit wearing makeup but I live in South Korea, here in Korea makeup is VERY COMMON and I would look really strange if I don't wear makeup on the streets... any advice? But now that I checked in with my heart, I really feel uncomfortable putting on makeup, I want to feel the freedom of going bare face meeting people
I know you have enough confidence to strut your stuff Raya!
I love this! I kinda gradually stopped wearing foundation since covid lockdown as i gradually got used to how I look without it and noticed how good my skin has become. I have rosacea prone acne, red blemishes type of acne and larger pores around my nose. At most, I just wear concealer and eyeshadow/eyeliner to enhance my features. I also wear lipstick still but not wearing foundation saved my skin. I now take great care in skincare and I look glowing as ever. I also feel good that I didnt look as bad as I thought without it :0
Loving these videos. So good to see you shining and happy, thank you for sharing your journey
Thanks Sarah! ☺️
Thank you for this video!!
So glad you don’t as your skin is awesome! Glowing & dewy. No make for me either. Jamaican born, never had funds doe things like that - came here tried it and it was too time consuming and I didn’t two time to learn. Plus I have oily sweat prone skin and it & I was a mess makeup everywhere. Like you one I took care of my inside - 100% plant based now for 24 yrs - skin have improved over time . I would like to try lash extensions and do something with eyebrows as they are thinning as I get older. Thanks for this video so needed to hear affirmation 🤗💙🙏🏽
Thanks for sharing Sandy! Wow congratulations on being plant based for 24 years - that’s amazing!! Not only for the planet but I can only imagine how happy your body is ☺️ a few of my friends have gotten their brows microbladed - it’s kinda like a tattoo but only lasts a couple of years. That might be good for you!
You're a beautiful human Raya ✨♥️
Some people may judge you are about your skin so I wanted to help you ladies to take care of your skin
yes! I had a similar experience with leaving my makeup bag somewhere. I haven't gone back since🌞
I have to say you’re so gorgeous 😍 it looks like your wearing a nice tint rn which is amazing it’s your natural skin you’re glowing 🤩 love how you spread your message of not wearing makeup ❤ I stopped wearing makeup because I didn’t really know how to do it correctly and it would make me break out really bad as well. I’m so blessed I’m comfortable to go out without it and not feel insecure I do have friends who cannot go a day without it and it’s sad because they’re beautiful naturally.
Your skin is GORGEOUS
Thank you ❤️
I go Make-up free 99.9 present of the time of my daily life. Tonight I go to a dance, but even then I’ll do nearly anything and only to bring out a little color I’m my eyes and lips 💋 it’s time we break away from perfection and I brace natural beauty and natural ways of clearing up skin. If you have perfectly clear skin there is no need queen ♥️
Thank you so much! You’re so beautiful inside and out
Love this video! I was also like you!
Thank you sooo much sis! I needed this💕
❤️❤️
When i stoped wearing make up daily it was like weight came of my body,like it wasnt just make up its a feelings that causes,but i will still do it for some occasions
As a very very pale older woman with blotchy skin and blonde eyelashes I find I need to wear some kind of makeup otherwise people ask me if I am sick. So I use Ilia to bring a natural look to my face. Very little goes a long way.
I’ve been hearing about this brand a lot! Might look into is as I want to start playing around with makeup purely for fun ☺️ excited to have gotten to this point!
@@RayaWasHere I just have a light foundation and a multistick for cheeks and lips plus mascara. By the way you present yourself on your videos and the friends that you have, I feel safe to say that you seem to be a beautiful person inside. I have always thought you were beautiful on the outside. You have traveled. You know amazing quality people. You seem to care alot about others. Keep working on seeing yourself as your loved ones see you. I am 55 and spent a good amount of those years worrying about what others thought about me and that I was never good enough. I lost my wonderful brother to aggressive brain cancer 3 years ago. Life is too precious and too short to not love yourself and to worry what others are thinking about you.
You look stunning
I feel confident just to wearing tinted Brow Gel. No needed more even I've got dark circles.
Your eyebrow is bold.😊
you have acne prone skin but your skin looks flawless on the video.. why? how did you treat your acne?
This is really good. I used to never wear makeup and started and now finding it hard to not wear it and want to stop and be confident without it again.
You are so beautiful naturally wow such an inspiration for skincare and health 🤍 thank you for sharing
Inspiring video, thank you! 🌱
This is so cool! I found your channel because my name is Raya too, but it's pronounced Ray-uh:) Love the video!
I don’t wear makeup anymore... it’s been about 2 years I guess.
Every time I wore makeup I was sure to have bad break outs the following week and HUGE headaches at the end of the day... maybe it was because of the quality of the makeup ?
I also can’t use eyeshadow properly for the life of me 😂 I can barely see with my right eye (and not really good with my left but if I’m close enough to a mirror I guess it’s okay...) so I’d start doing my right eye... mostly okay... then start doing my left annnnnd I usually had to start over and over because it didn’t look remotely the same from the other eye lol even start with the left, it always a complete mess so most of the time I ended up taking off the eyeshadow altogether 🤷♀️ same for eyeliner... the only thing I can put on is mascara and some of them gave me headaches !
I’m considering doing semi-permanent mascara and enjoy lipstick or gloss from time to time ^^
To clean my face, I simply use a washcloth during my shower (every morning 😬). I only use it for my face and change it every time and only use soap maybe once or twice a week!
I sometimes use Hazelnut oil on my face to hydrate it and that’s it
That’s something else I didn’t bring up! Not only is covering up breakouts bad because we’re not letting them breathe but wearing makeup can totally LEAD to breakouts! (I haven’t heard of headaches.. maybe you were allergic to come thing?)
Thank you💓
you're so beautiful!! I love this video and think you are so sweet and kind!! you're really different from me I love being alone, I'm not really into being surrounded by a community, but I enjoy seeing what its like through your eyes and hearing what you have to say because you're a lovely person :) also in regards to the eyelashes I haven't gotten mine done since the start of the pandemic and i've been so damn insecure about it... i've even had dreams where someone shows up at my house that I find attractive and I don't have my lashes and I start panicking... (I know, crazy) but your videos help me to become more secure with myself.
Thats funny.lol
@@lucialu833 why is that funny
YES Girl! I am soooo happy for you that you feel this way about yourself now. And I must say I followed you right from the start when you appeared in Louis his vlogs. And you just radiate your confidence and self love so much right now, it makes you even more beautiful. Back in the days you radiated the love for others and for the planet which made you look more beautiful, AND this feeling of confidence and self-love just makes you shine. And I love that so much!! I wish that for every woman. Because every woman, every girl is beautiful without make-up. They should do natural models more to let this be known in the world.
Thank you!! That is so so sweet and thank you for supporting me and Louis all of these years! 💕
Beautiful skin you look amazing keep it up
Do you have body products/perfume that smells amazing like lavender?
What’s your skincare routine and products am and pm? Can you try magnet lashes or diy lash extensions
I want an opinion, from anyone…
i never wore makeup.. I’m 20, some days ago i bought some basic makeup i think.. like one from everything i might need, foundation included… Speaking of foundation i found exactly nearly the same as my color…
Anyway.. Is makeup bad? I have also some pimples, will it get worse? I just wanted to do makeup to try something new i wasn’t used… but I don’t know, what do you think?
Will the skin change texture or will the skin be bad after sometime?
I hate makeup and don't wear it. You are gorgeous without makeup
Aren't you wearing mascara?
I love it
We are naturally looking good..just take care of yourself..sub for more content on this topic..thanks
I have also have stopped wearing make although. Iv noticed I have been a lot greasier them ever. Has that happened to you and if so what would u recommend?
Woah, I didn't even notice you ever wore makeup. You look the same to me. Your lucky you have nice full dark eyebrows and lashes. No makeup ever needed......imma look back at an older video now......yeah i just looked back at several videos from 5 years ago...look exactly the same!!!!!!!
Haha thank you! Yeah I always had very natural looking makeup but it was more about how I felt inside, If I didn’t put it on I felt to shy to go outside
That's nice
Zero Makeup is 100% BEST!
It’s hard to take this video seriously with a skin blur filter on
I stopped after the pandemic I truly don’t care … I still breakout I don’t care
Do you ever use spot concealer
how you are with wearing make up that how i am whenever i have to wear a dress or dress clothes ... shopping for my wedding dress i cried and wanted to wear pants instead... so i get it :) we all have something haha

????? You are wearing make-up
No, I’m not
@@RayaWasHere lipcolor is make-up. To me it doesn't matter wether you do or you don't wear it, that is your personal choice . I just felt confused at the title. I can fully appreciate what you are expressing here, and that not wearing foundation and eyeliner etc. was a big change for you. I wish you peace
Hey beautiful 1. U definitely have no reason to wear makeup .most woman wearing make up usually are hiding something i think most woman who don't wear makeup lack confidence.because of the stigma wat societies protray a woman a certain way .most woman's should luv them self the way they are .by luving them self taking care of there skin .beauty is on the inside not the outside. Most woman are beautiful ,just being who they are confident and having that natural look and the way u feel about ur self will make u feel 10× better about ur self .u got too luv ur self first .before everything else will fall into place . beautiful .1 🌺😊
I AGREE MAKEUP WOMEN DONT NEED IT NATRUAL LOOK IS MORE BEAUTIFUL I THINK LOUIS WILL AGREE
I won't make fun of you
🙌
Do you get Botox or get facials? Your forehead looks really smooth.
I’ve never gotten Botox and I haven’t had a facial in over a year. I try to be good about wearing spf and hats and using good skincare
RayaWasHere lol

Very very very beautiful my dear raya very beautiful I am from India 😍😍😍😍😆
It seems like there is a 'beautifying' filter on your video that smoothes out your skin. That is probably why some comments about you using botox.
I haven’t put any filter on, I don’t know if the camera does it but I’ll check. I know if the lighting isn’t great sometimes it gives that effect
First
What kind of hypocrite are you, your wearing make up in this video. 😂🤣
