Makeup is something that every girl has experimented with over the years. It is an excellent way to feel good about yourself or just to try out a cool new look. More and more people are getting better at using their makeup thanks to great YouTube beauty gurus and celebrities, such as the Kardashians, releasing their own beauty secrets and tutorials. As a girl who loves makeup, I have heard so much praise and criticism over the years about my makeup use. Even though we are in a generation where overly lined lips and fake lashes can be part of an everyday look, girls who wear makeup often face some hate. Here are some of the things we are sick of hearing.
1. "Guys don't like it when girls wear a lot of makeup."
This may come as a shock, but girls actually do things to make themselves feel good, not to attract guys. We love makeup because we get to accentuate the features we love and hide the insecurities we don't. Not everything is about guys.
2. "All that makeup is going to ruin your skin."
This is completely untrue. You could wear as much makeup as you like as long as you take care of your skin. If you are regularly cleansing and moisturizing your face, then there is no need to worry about makeup ruining your skin. There are plenty of people out there who don't wear makeup and develop bad skin because they don't properly take care of it. As long as you take care of yourself, you are fine.
3. "Wow, I knew you would look great all natural without makeup."
Most of the time when people compliment girls who wear makeup on wearing "no makeup," the girl usually has some foundation, concealer, and mascara on at the least. So the "natural" look that you are complimenting is not all that natural.
4. "Wow, you look so tired. Are you OK?"
When someone who usually wears makeup actually leaves the house without an ounce of anything on, people think they look tired and sad. It's because the dark circles that everyone has show because they don't have concealer on. So basically you are criticized for wearing makeup, then get told you look tired and sick when you actually don't.
5. "Girls catfish guys by wearing too much makeup."
If you think my eyelids are naturally covered in glitter and my eyelashes are 214,827,346 inches long, then you need to address bigger problems than me "tricking" you about what I look like.
