There's always been a lot of debate about girls wearing makeup. You'll have the people who say "You don't need to wear makeup, you're naturally beautiful," or "When girls wear makeup it is a trick," or "I wear makeup because I need to," and lastly the "I wear makeup just because I like to." It bothers me when people hate on others for wearing makeup and call it a lie, or a trick and being fake. I don't think I am any of those. I'll be honest, I wear makeup probably every single day. Is it costly? Yes. Is it a lot of time consumption? Yes. Is any of it real? Mostly not. I'll even make the jokes like "hold on, I still have to put on my face," or "Let me take off my face." However, wearing makeup for me makes me feel better and more confident and I'm tired of people bashing others for wearing makeup. So here's a small PSA to the one's who are so frustrated about some of us wearing larger amounts of makeup.

Stop looking at our faces if it bothers you so much. I'm sure like any other person you don't like you probably don't want to spend too much time around them, or even look at them. There's no reason you need to spend time fixating on what we do with our skin if it bothers you so much. Some of us, like me, or so disappointed and disgusted with our natural skin that we do this. Every single day. We make that sacrifice to do this every single day. Why should that bother YOU so much? It shouldn't. I hate my natural skin. I have for a very long time. With my type of skin tone, any cut or damage to the skin leaves marks, and they're all over my face. My spots and scars make me feel bad and I personally can't look at myself in the mirror and say I love the way I look. So I did something about it, while at night I use skin remedies I've thoroughly sought out, during the day I am using makeup that covers up almost all my bad marks. Yes, it doesn't always look perfect and can be very obvious, it makes me feel better. I feel more confident looking like what I imagine myself to be. Whether that be only a little makeup or a load of it, it makes me feel better and that's who I believe that I look like in my head and aspire to have skin like.

I've had people say you're naturally beautiful and I'll look at them and explain none of my face is real and I'm honest about it. I won't hide the fact I wear a lot of makeup, but I shouldn't have to feel bad about doing something that makes me feel better about who I am. I know some of you say "be who YOU are, don't be something you're not." In a way aren't we all trying to be someone we're not a little bit? Or at least on the journey to find ourselves we've turned into different people to discover who we are? I believe everyone goes on the journey of finding who they are, and that's what I'm doing. I'm on the journey to finding the skin and look that I believe I am, and I shouldn't be shamed because some people might not like it. Also for those of you who hate on us for wearing an excruciating amount of makeup, do you know how long it takes to do that? We deserve some kind of praise I think. Makeup is hard! To get that perfect wing, and perfect contour isn't easy! Makeup is something some girls make a lifestyle out of! Aka every single makeup brand started with one person like that, who had ideas and turned into something worth a lot of money. What we do is for us. Yeah, we may want to impress others with how fleek our eyeliner is, or maybe with how beautiful we can make ourselves into. However deep down, this is for us, and we don't need you to hurt our happiness just because you don't like it. Whether it be a severe reason you wear makeup or just wear makeup because it's fun and beautiful, stop judging us.

So here's to you ladies for the one's who wear makeup and are tired of feeling bad about it, or for anyone who think's we shouldn't be judged about what we put on our faces. It's 2016, haven't we come to a far place where we can literally do whatever we want to our bodies and can try to accept everyone for who they are? I think so.
