To Men Who Have "Trust Issues" When Women Wear Makeup

Dear Men who think the photo above is an issue,

Please know that women are not trying to deceive you. They would hope you know that they were not born with maroon lips, and a smokey eye, but they also want you to know...

...They do not put makeup on to look good for you.

For many women, applying makeup is an art form. To carefully sculpt with powders and creams a jawline, and wings on their eyes is not something a lot of people can do. For most, it's taken years of practice. Starting with the cheapest drug store makeup they can find to dropping maybe hundreds a month at Sephora or M.A.C.

Some have reasons behind putting makeup on. It's a confidence boost. If you look through YouTube, you'll be able to find a makeup tutorial or review for just about any eye shadow pallet or lipstick you can think of. They will show you tips and tricks and cheats to achieve the look of a Goddess.

Some girls on the video sharing site will share their stories of how they overcame facial scars, or acne issues as teenagers, or even how makeup gave them the confidence they needed after a house fire took half her face.

I recently saw a few people of all different ages call girls who wear "ten pounds of makeup" fake, saying that, "You cannot get to know the real person on the inside, when the outside is an illusion."

I say that's garbage.

Just because a girl decides to put lipstick on doesn't make her any less of a woman than what she was when she woke up. It gives women that extra confidence boost to go out and fight the world that lies ahead of them.

It's beautiful! It can be classy, and amazing. Sometimes makeup can fix those imperfections that are just too stubborn to leave: dark circles, blotchiness, skin discoloration, etc.

It's a way to express yourself. Every face full of makeup is different. Some will have plum lips, or red lips, or pink lips, from M.A.C, Sephora, Jeffree Star, Kat Von D, or have a smokey eyeshadow that required the Naked Pallet by Urban Decay, or the Manny MUA eye shadow pallet, or Kylie Jenner's pallet. Every day is like deciding what shirt to wear, "What color are my eyelids going to be?!"

Men, or women who don't wear makeup, leave the girls and guys who do alone. Don't call them fake, don't shame them for wearing it. Either compliment them, or keep the opinions to yourselves. Don't say that because a girl has make up on, and look different without it, is the reason you have trust issues. You all are the ones who are dumb enough to think girls get out of the shower with gold eyelids and perfectly contoured cheeks.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
