Story-time! Once upon a time there was a girl who dyed her hair every colour of the rainbow, had eyebrow piercings and multiple ear piercings and constantly tortured her mother with ideas for tattoos. But the one thing this girl didn't do was makeup. At all. 

Makeup was too GIRLY, too DEFINED, too MAINSTREAM. It was a way of hiding from the world, it WAS a new world. It was INTIMIDATING and EXCITING but also too norm-core all at the same time. 

SURPRISE! This was me.
