Hi gorgeous ladies!

This year we’re continuing the tradition of the Selfie Project and No Makeup Day on April 18th. For those of you who don’t know, this is a celebration of natural beauty and an opportunity to spread kindness and love to one another. We need a few things from you to make sure this event is as awesome as possible:

1) Send us a picture that you feel beautiful in! Please send your picture to selfieproject2017@gmail.com by April 13.

2) Come to the library annex during lunch and Student Choice on April 18 to leave Post-It note compliments on everyone’s pictures celebrating their beauty and uniqueness!

3) Go makeup-free on April 18th to let your natural beauty shine through!

All of these things are totally optional, but we really encourage you to participate. It might be weird or scary, but that’s okay – you may just learn something incredible about yourself and how awesome you are.

Love,

The Selfie Project/No Makeup Day Team 🙂
