Serious Athletes Can & Do Wear Makeup

Is Peach the new Pink?

No don’t be silly it’s just a new option from Jane Iredale.

As I’ve shared before I love Jane Iredale’s products – my life wouldn’t be the same without Jelly Jar™ Gel Eyeliner. And loving makeup doesn’t mean I’m not a serious athlete.

Well, I’m not a total hardcore serious skateboarder – I’m definitely in it for the fun but wearing makeup isn’t a sign of weakness. Here is a sad true story – my makeup was questioned and not by boys but misinformed girls at the skate park.

Yes, in 2015 there are girls out there who think you can’t wear makeup and be an athlete. (And I’m in Southern California – OMG!) Sad so sad that people still think makeup is for others not the wearer.

As a blogger I love to read other rad blogs and I encourage everyone to read Alyssa Matthews “4 Reasons Why Women Wear Makeup (For Those Who Just Don’t Get It)”

I 100% agree with her reasons – which really quick are

  • Really, we just do it for ourselves
  • It’s PURRTYYY
  • It corrects things that we cannot always correct on our own
  • It’s a way to be expressive

I’m not saying you have to wear makeup – I believe you have the right to wear makeup. And I think you can wear makeup some days and no makeup other days and be the same person.

Well I am the skatingfashionista keeping it fun & fashionable on & off the board. Till next time keep your makeup options open – yes I’m totally daring you to try the peach!
