The 7 REAL Reasons Why Girls Wear Makeup

What some people don't understand is that girls wear makeup for themselves — not for the guy she likes or the guy she has been with. Girls wear makeup because they want to for them. They want to feel confident, beautiful, and mature. Some girls don't wear makeup and still feel confident and beautiful. Other girls do not, let it be from people in their life now always being on them about their looks or people who once were in their life and affected them in this way.

Here are some of the real reasons why girls wear makeup:

1. It's a fun spare time activity.

It's her day off, the weather is terrible, or she has hours before she has to go anywhere and doing her makeup is something some girls do to waste their spare time.

2. It's fun to experiment with.

One day you can wear purple makeup and the next you can wear green. It's just fun to try new looks and not care!

3. Makeup can help to look presentable and awake.

Being up the night before a presentation, preparing for finals, or even an interview, makeup has the magical powers of making people look awake and presentable for the interview and presentation.

4. It balances out the uneven skin tones.

Self-explanatory.

5. You can use it to highlight certain features.

Some makeup highlights the eyes, and the pleasing features on a face; while others don't highlight the unwanted features (acne).

6, It's an easy way for them to express themselves.

Girls use makeup to express themselves in ways that they otherwise never could. They put the makeup on that they think is them, and without that look, they don't feel like themselves.

7. CONFIDENCE.

The main reason girls wear makeup is to feel confident. When they have the makeup on they feel like a queen and invincible. They feel unique and noticed, and that's what is important.

Don't judge a girl because they wear makeup to feel good about herself. Let her be her and live her life. Bottom line is no matter what, wearing makeup or not, all of the girls out there are beautiful, unique, and amazing. Keep doing you ladies!!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
