Upon reading a blog post about “The Real Reason Why Women Wear Make-up,” I can’t help to air my opinion about the topic.

Firstly, I wanna say that I strongly disagree on the picture labeled “ugly beyonce” on that post, just because Beyonce doesn’t have a make-up on. I find her beautiful in that picture. I always believe in the saying “Simplicity is Beauty.” Isn’t it a trend now that make-up are put in a celebrities faces with a “natural look?” So, I guess that just simply states that natural beauty, is always the best, or at least for me that is.

I am the kind of person who doesn’t wear make-up often, in fact I could live for months not putting one on and actually be confident to say, “I am beautiful.” I guess beauty just shows when you have confidence to show it. I admit, I sometimes look myself in the mirror and see myself ugly, but most of the time I admire myself. I am not a narcissist. I think at this point of my life, I am over the superficial aspects and more on concentrating on deeper side of things. Besides, whatever other people say about me, there is one thing that matters, it is to be able to hear someone I love tell me that I am beautiful. What more could a person ask? There are a few people who sees me as ugly but the saying goes “we can’t please everybody.” As I have mentioned, I don’t wear make-up most of the time, and I only do during special events or when I feel like experimenting on colors.

I guess in the society in where I am at, make-up is not really that big of a deal. Though, teenagers now could be seen wearing it, the adults are more of a “powder on” than putting colors into their faces. In my office for example, only 5% of the employees here wear make-up and to tell you there are more than a hundred employees in my company.

Let’s go back to the main question of this topic, “Why do Women Wear Make-up?”

I would like to answer this, base on my own reason. I have an oily face, and if I attend events and take pictures, my oily face would often “stand out.” I don’t like attention that much, because as an only child, I have gotten enough already. So, I put make-up on to cover that abnormality.

This time, I would answer base on my experience with my friends who loves to put make-up on. I have a friend who growing up sees her grandma wearing make-up on a daily basis. It is like a routine for her grandma to put make-up on after taking a shower, so I guess it’s like taking a shower for her, a necessity. Seeing that, and I guess my friend admires her grandmother, so she follows her. During our college days, you would not see this friend of mine without a make-up. Like her grandma, it has become a routine to her that after shower, a make-up needs to be put on. So, that seems to be her reason.

If you are into computers and you would hear MAC, then you would actually think, “Oh, an Apple Mac” but really there is another meaning of MAC for those who loves make-up. MAC cosmetics has been adored by some of my friends and some actually doesn’t know it existed.

As a woman, I guess we have to learn how to put on make-up. So, we better be updated on make-up tips if you want to be fit in. Now, the trend is “natural” maybe tomorrow it would be “picasso look.”

We don’t know where this trend is taking us, but one thing I need to tell you, each of us are unique and we are all beautiful in our unique ways. We don’t need make-up to make us feel beautiful. Just believe in yourself, and with self confidence you will surely shine.

Enjoy Life!
