What is makeup?

I have come across so many different reactions from people when it came to beauty talk. One of the most interesting things to me, is knowing how a girl makes herself look pretty. Whether it's how she does her makeup, or how she doesn't.. This has always been something that made me really happy to know! Yes, maybe I'm nosey, but believe it or not, knowing what girls do, has taught me so much. Professional or not! The best lessons in life are free..


Just like there are girls who feel powerful with their lipstick on, there are others who dread the thought of it. Simply because makeup isn't their thing..But it's not just the products that you apply to your face, or that perfect shade of lipgloss.. There's is so much more to beauty and makeup than "faking it", and there is not one true definition of what it really is.

Have you ever watched Superman? The movie? When he puts his costume on to show the world that he is powerful and strong.Now, if you notice that the costume doesn't actually "make" him stronger, it simply conveys the message to others that he is of strength. Without his cape and suit, he is not weaker, but the whole world may not really notice how strong he is without it. This is how I relate both situations.. Some women need that little boost of self confidence, or maybe makeup just makes them feel happier, and let's not forget that many of us may be insecure about certain aspects of our lives that we wish to change. Which is completely normal and fine. Of course we must learn to embrace it, but not all people are as strong.

Extremes are inevitable.. We can't deny that not everyone would agree on the same thing, but opinions and thoughts need to be shared.
