The no makeup selfie campaign for cancer research has become a trend for women all over Britain. The idea is for women to post a photograph of themselves on the internet with no makeup on and then nominate their friends and family to do the same and donate £3 to cancer research. So far these selfies have helped cancer research raise over £2million to help fund technology and development in finding a cure for cancer, this amount of money is life changing for many suffering with cancer and their friends and families as it brings a new sense of hope for a cure.

Taking a selfie with no makeup on and posting it for the world to see takes courage and lots of it, women are known to hide what they would class as their imperfections and flaws behind makeup, therefore removing it from those they would usually hide their natural beauty from is a massive deal for these women.

What you must realise is that no one is perfect, everyone has that little thing that they would like the change about themselves, these no makeup selfies have encouraged women to bare all. Cancer effects 1 in 3 people, therefore statistically someone you know will at one stage either get cancer or be effected by it from maybe someone close to them. This number is too high! These women by bearing all are on their way to helping change that. Their confidence shown through these selfies is something to be proud of and it shows that everyone no matter what race, religion, height or size you are EVERYONE is beautiful. By wearing no makeup more money has been raised which really goes to show that less is more.
