My Love/Hate of MakeUp
Opinions are like belly buttons. Everyone has them but they don't really matter. Now that I've cleared that up, let's dig into my love/hate relationship with make up. I love that you can literally transform yourself. Last week I did my makeup everyday and it had a direct affect on my mood and my attitude. No one in the office could tell me off - yes it gave me a boot in confidence. But many people take it that if you need make up to leave the house then you don't love yourself or that you lack confidence - or that you are being "fake". I see it as part of a costume to play the part, besides when you look good you feel good and when you feel good you do better. I remember posting a question on my Facebook wall to get the opinions of others and it stirred up some good conversation. Every person has their reasons for putting it on (or not) but at the end of the day everyone wants to feel beautiful. I learned some people wear it just for fun, some people for confidence, others to hide blemishes. Sure we all have our own insecurities and some people just feel more secure with make up. ::shrugs:: (Just stay away from the pool in the summer!) Now for my real rant: the things I don't like about make up: - the removal process. I feel like my face is never clean enough. (This is an invitation- if you've got good recommendations for makeup remover for sensitive skin, be sure to comment below).- the dryness it causes to my skin. I like my skin soft! - acne! Need I say more? Some products require testing. - everyone is at a different skill level and if your face isn't "beat to the Gods" people feel they have an invitation to critique. If I have the balls to walk out the house with a bold color on my lips/eyes - I could care less if you don't like it. So long as I don't look like a clown (less it be the actual costume) I shall be on my merry way. - I used to have combination skin and well now it's more oily. Using those matte products can't be good long term. Things I Love about make up: - compliments left and right, - fun to play in especially when dressing up for events. - adds a splash of color and fun to personality. - can be unique.
