No I don't. It has not gotten easier to feel pretty or beautiful without my array of colors, correctors, and highlighters. I keep waiting for my "come to Jesus moment" and it's not happening.
Interestingly I find myself compensating in how I dress. Cute trendy clothes I haven't worn in ages either due to pregnancy weight or because of my SAHM status (I'm a clothes hoarder, I don't like to "waste" outfits on days at home) are finding their way out of my closet and onto my body. I'm guessing this isn't much better than a makeup covering.
The point of this particular intentional self-denial is getting fuzzy. Who cares if I need help feeling pretty. Who cares if I try to convey my hoped perception with makeup. Who cares if I am seriously financially and emotionally addicted?
I miss eyeliner.
I had a "no makeup" period. It took a LONG time to feel as pretty without makeup on. Like... 6 months maybe? (I was really addicted.) Now, I can go out without makeup on and I feel okay, I still feel good... but I definitely don't feel guilty for wearing eyeliner!! :-D
