Almost every teenage girl and adult women wear makeup. Why? Because society has high standards for women now. They have set the standards so high that us women think we need makeup to look beautiful. The answer is no. I follow multiple accounts on social media that involve makeup artists. Some of them transform women into looking real and some just look fake.
If you cannot identify a person without them having makeup on because you have only seen them with makeup on, then that’s a problem. You should look easily recognizable with or without makeup. If someone has to question that, then you should probably tone it down a little bit. Just trying to help a sister out.
Newsflash ladies, REAL men do NOT like women who wear a lot of makeup. It is a proven fact. If your man likes you better with makeup, then you are not worth his time. A man will love you and think that you are beautiful no matter how you look. We do not need to put 10 pounds of makeup on to make them or anyone else happy.
I am not saying that women shouldn’t wear makeup at all. It is clear that I wear makeup quite a bit, but not every day. All I am saying is that we speak out and make a difference. Show people, men and women, that we don’t need makeup to look or feel beautiful. Prove society wrong.
Just think of your daughters or future daughters. Do you want them to be around a society where they think they need to look like a Barbie doll to be loved by people? I sure as hell don’t. I want my daughter to be around a loving and accepting society. A society where it is okay to be different and that it is okay to not wear makeup every day.
It is going to be hard for your daughters to go through this. When I was in High School, I never went a day without wearing makeup. Why? Because I was already picked on and bullied enough to the point where I did not feel comfortable not wearing it. I was already struggling enough to where I thought I would get picked on or bullied more. It wasn’t until I went to college that I realized this and that I felt comfortable going out in public not wearing makeup.
It is cruel to see how society can be negatively life changing for teens. People wonder why so many of us have self-esteem issues and don’t think we are good enough. Makeup is a big factor of why we feel this way.
We need to be comfortable in our own skin. We do not need to completely change our look with makeup. Over half of the makeup tutorials out there make you and other people look fake.
So why try to be someone you’re not?
Why try to live up to society when you can just be your own person?
Be different and do not care what other people think of you. It makes the life you’re living 100 times easier.
