I’ve always had my insecurities. I mean we all do. And up until a couple of years ago I didn’t wear that much make-up or take much thought into my appearance. Today, I wear a lot more make-up and take much longer to get ready than I did about 3 years ago. A lot of people assume that when I dress up and look nice that I automatically have plans or that I dressed up for someone else.

Well, the truth is I did dress-up for someone and that someone is me.

Why is it that I can never wear make-up just because I want to wear it? Makeup gives me the freedom to express myself through my appearance as well as making me feel good about myself. It makes me feel beautiful and it puts me in a good mood. But, I hate that half the time that I am wearing makeup I get asked questions like “Who are you all dressed up for” or “Do you have plans later or something?”

It’s 2018 people. Everything I do or wear isn’t necessarily for someone else. I don’t need to impress anyone. I just enjoy wearing makeup and wearing it for ME. I enjoy taking my appearance more seriously. I like feeling good about myself. Ii know I don’t need to put makeup on for some guy or look nice to impress anyone. At the end of the day, a guy will like me for me, with or without makeup.
