Since I was ten years old, I have been wearing makeup. I started with blush and lip gloss. I have advanced into different types of makeup. I now use primer, liquid foundation, concealer, foundation powder, contour powder, blush, highlighter, mascara, eyeshadow, eyebrow powder, eyebrow wax, lip stick and setting spray. So in the past nine years, I went from a rookie wearing makeup to an adult wearing makeup. I get many compliments on my makeup job when I am out, and I take pride in the compliments. But only because makeup is how I try to present myself to the world. I have horrible insecurities about my looks. But when I wear makeup, it covers that part of me that I do not want to showcase. Wearing makeup helps me become more confident, since I am not naturally confident in my own skin. It is sometimes hard to explain how makeup helps me hide my insecurities, but it is easier explain in poetry.

I sit down at my desk, and pull my mirror towards me.
It reflects what people call a face.
But I do not call it that.
I open my drawer, pulling out what makes my face.
I apply my primer, letting it set it in before making my skin.
I apply my foundation with my beauty blender, patting it on gently.
Then goes my powder.
Now you can finally see my face.
I outline with contour powder.
I blend it in with a blending brush.
I fill in my brows. making them stand out.
I make my cheeks rosy.
I highlight my face, making my features pop.
I paint my eyelashes, my eyes finally coming out of the socket.
I can finally see myself.
I stand up.
My mask is on.
No one can see what is underneath.
I am happy.
