The Full Face Of Makeup I Wear To Class Is None Of Your Business, End Of Discussion

Every morning I start my day by eating cereal, watching Fox News and doing my makeup.

Yes, that's right, I put a face full of makeup on every single day.

I wear makeup because I love it. Not because I'm insecure, feel like I need it, or I want to be more appealing to others. Stereotypes such as those paint women who wear makeup as trying to impress other people, rather than just doing it because they like it.

I've had guys tell me that women who wear makeup are liars. They lie to men about how they actually look and trick them into thinking they are prettier than what they thought. But if you can't see past some makeup on someone's face, then I think you need to reevaluate yourself.

Women have the right to choose if they want to wear a full face of makeup, or if they want to wear none at all. We pressure women in society to fit into this tiny box if they want to be considered attractive. If you scroll through Instagram or Snapchat to see what the general public considers attractive you'll see women with a big butt, toned, posing on the beach in a high cut bathing suit, her hair down, and arching her back to make her butt look even bigger. To make this "candid" shot perfect, they should have a tan.

We place so much emphasis on beauty and looking one way versus another, then shame women for wearing makeup? Newsflash: no woman is perfect and every picture you see on social media is far from a true candid shot. People need to realize that natural beauty doesn't mean a no makeup day — when you wear a light amount of makeup that still looks like you are not wearing any at all — with a filter, maybe some photoshop, and taking the picture from the right angle in the right lighting.

Beauty is defined by what is appealing to that individual. Not by other people's judgment. So if you want to wear a full face of makeup do it. If you hate makeup and hate doing it, don't wear it. At the end of the day, who cares what you do, besides yourself?

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
