2 years without removing makeup

Yup, this title is exactly what it sounds like. The 20 year old, Korean girl, Bae Dal-mi you see below chose to wear her makeup 24-7 for... 2 YEARS. 

She was considered to be very pretty, but that did not stop her from vowing never to be seen with her natural face. She reapplied and retouched her makeup for 2 years straight, never once removing it. 

Bae Dal-mi fell in love with makeup at the at of 14. From then on she developed more and more skills with applying makeup. Soon, her makeup masked face was the face she was dependent on and never wanted to be seen without. Bae also revealed that she was dissatisfied with her appearance and had considered plastic surgery on 10 areas of  her face. 

Even with family and at home, she became obsessed with makeup and chose not to remove it, even at night. "I wanted to look perfect at all times, I even slept with makeup on." she shares. Her most important item is a mirror and she makes sure to have one at all times to reapply and retouch her makeup-- applying layer after layer over her existing makeup. 

Over two years, Bae has not used any makeup remover or cleanser to remove the makeup. Her mother, fed up with her daughter's makeup obsession, contacted a TV station to share her story and hopefully even convince her to remove her everlasting makeup mask.
During a variety, she visited with a dermatologist and a group of doctors that convinced her to FINALLY remove the two year's worth of un-removed layers of old makeup. After a skin checkup, they discovered that her skin was 40 years old-- two times her actual age. Not to mention the ton of small bumps that were hidden far beneath the makeup. 

Early aging is just another horrible side effect of keeping makeup on for such an amount of time and not taking proper care of you skin. Not only is her skin now twice her age, she had immense clogged pores.  


Makeup artists cleverly gave her makeup routine a makeover. They came up with a more natural alternative to her former makeup routine, one using a very small amount of makeup. Now she has discovered a new confidence in her new face and is happy with her appearance. 



See ladies? 
This is why you should always wash your face before bedtime. Over-wear of makeup causes early ageing and many other skin problems! If you want to look beautiful, take care of your natural face and embrace it with makeup, do not mask it with skin-killing makeup. Don't get me wrong, makeup is a wonder for anyone, but you should always remove it. Doctor's recommend that you wash your face before bed time, so go ahead and soap up and love that pretty face of yours!!! 

XOXO

That's pretty gross... She definitely got eyebrow mites from never removing her makeup (if she didn't already have them)! She is kinda cute though, with and without makeup. :)

@Tirin omg I know! I heard about eyebrow mites from leaving makeup on! That is SO scary! But I think she is really pretty with and without makeup too and I didn't even think her skin looked that bad even though that makeup was left on for two years! (>.<)

But her skin doesn't LOOK 40 years old in that picture.... Am I the only one who thinks this? Am I misunderstanding something?

She's prettier without all that makeup!

If anybody knows where I can watch this video, link me please! I'm really curious now, haha. She doesn't look like she has 40-year-old skin in the photos, but perhaps in the video she does.

as a guy i think make-up is not attractive. when girls wear too much you can actually smell it. It's not good for your skin, washing it off at night will make a little difference. but your skin absorbs what you put on it. if you wouldnt eat it, why would you put it on your skin?

Guys dont like being deceived, we like it when girls wear minimal make-up, a little eye liner and some lip gloss is all you need.
We are beings of nature, we love you natural all the way. Trust me. you are beautifuuuuuuuuul dont listen to what other girls saaaaaay.. :)
