Ever wonder why girls wear makeup?

The 7 REAL Reasons Why Girls Wear Makeup
Shayla Milligan

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!!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
