If you're body positive, why do you cover your birthmark?

A question I got asked a few days ago, so I thought I'd write a blog post on it in case anyone else thought the same thing and I felt like I needed to clarify myself.
I cover because it's just part of my everyday make-up routine, like most girls. Just because I am body positive doesn't mean i will be make up free forever, I like wearing it. 
There's no right or wrong in wearing it, I do what makes me happy and if I'm able to help people along the way then it's a bonus.
I used to be the girl that was afraid to go out the house with no make-up on but I'm not that girl now, I'm not bothered anymore, I have accepted myself and my flaws and I'm turning them into a positive and that's all that matters to me. I will go out with no make-up on or I will go out with. I'm still the same person.
I love make-up so if I suddenly stopped wearing it, I wouldn't be me anymore.
I'm sure we have all had those days where your not wearing as much make-up as usual and someone says "You look really tired, is everything ok?"
No, not tired, but thanks for letting me know I look like a heap of shit. 
Make-up is a powerful thing it's every woman's secret weapon.
I would say make-up is a little hobby of mine, I like to try out new make-up looks when I'm bored or watch YouTube make-up tutorials.

I-Bronze Rio Bronzer by New CID Cosmetics

Bronzers for me are one of the main items I use for my daily make up. I prefer to use a bronzer rather than a blusher because I think I'm naturally quite pale and I like to add a bit of colour to my face.
The bronzer first of all comes in its own individual cardboard packaging. It's then placed inside a high-tec sturdy flip lid container, which even comes with its own compact mirror on the inside of the lid. 
I came across this product as it was highly rated on www.lookfantastic.com.
I couldnt help but notice just how gorgeous the bronzer is, with its baked look and marbled swirl effect as soon as you open it up, I just love anything that's girly and pretty so I had to buy it!
The swirly, chocolately, pinky gorgeousness creates the most naturally crafted shadow into the cheek bones with a hint of shimmer. 
Finally a product that gives you a sun kissed look without that orangey tone!
Priced at £24.00 you definitely get what you pay for and I would buy this product again.
