I STARTED USING makeup when I was in fourth year college with the purpose of improving my physical appearance. Up until now, the purpose remains the same---but throughout the years of using makeup, I realized many things that made me love this art more.
In this post, I'll be sharing beautiful insights that will make you understand and appreciate makeup more. Please keep on reading! ^_^

Basically, Makeup is the colorful stuff that a girl puts on her face with the aim of improving her features. But the results can definitely vary, which means it could either improve one's features or destroy the natural beauty of a person.
"I believe that all women are pretty without makeup, but pretty powerful with the right makeup" -Bobbi Brown
I've been using makeup for quite some time and to be honest, there were a bunch of struggles that I encountered while experimenting for the perfect makeup routine. But everything boils down to this: What is the main purpose of wearing makeup?
I personally believe that all women should be wearing makeup. Why? it's simple, everyone has flaws that could be fixed perfectly with the use of makeup. But most importantly, makeup builds confidence, which is its wonderful purpose.
Here are some wonderful insights regarding the use of Makeup:
1. Makeup should highlight natural beauty instead of covering it like a mask
Many people look at girls wearing makeup as "maarte", and that is totally weird. I cannot understand why they keep on commenting that girls who wear makeup are actually faking their beauty---that's a bit harsh. Actually, they can be somehow correct on that matter, because some of the girls are really ruining the art of putting on makeup.
With the correct use of makeup, you can perfectly reveal your inner beauty. Putting on foundation doesn't mean that you're covering bad skin, but just evening out your skin tone! In the same manner that lipsticks adds color to our lips, making it look naturally attractable.
2. Makeup is confidence applied directly on your face
I'm pretty happy with my skin, but I'm happier whenever I wear makeup. The best days for me are the days when I'm at home without even worrying on how I look. But when I go out, I'm pretty confident to face different people when I have makeup on. It's like I can talk to anyone, do anything and achieve everything because I'm confident with my skin.
Our face is the first thing that will be noticed by almost everyone. We are judged based on our appearance, and most of the people prefer beautiful features. Nobody is the hell perfect, and insecurities arises from the flaws we notice everyday as we face the mirror. Confidence shatters at the point where we feel bad about ourselves, which poses great risks on the things that we do.
This is why makeup is very important for us, women, because it helps us become instantly confident. From the confidence that makeup gives us, we're on our way in chasing great opportunities in life.
3. Makeup not only beautifies the face but protects it as well
Aside from beautifying the face, makeup also protects it from harmful agents that could destroy it. A lot of people think that prolonged use of makeup will just make your skin age faster and make it look older. But actually, ingredients found on makeups are also beneficial in keeping the youthful condition of our skin. Almost all makeup products has SPF which protects our skin from the harmful UV rays which promotes wrinkles and age spots.
With makeup, you're actually enjoying two benefits: improved look and protected skin. However, one should be cautious about the stuff they put on their face. Always buy makeup products made by trusted brands, they can be a bit pricey but at least you're confident on their effects on your skin. Aside from that, you should always do your homework, research about these products---read blogs, watch videos and ask your friends about the products that you wanted to try.
I'm pretty sure that you're now having second thoughts about makeup :)
Always remember that makeup is more than a luxury item but rather a weapon that could change us women, make us more powerful and help us rule this man-dominated world. If done right, makeup can do wonders on your physical appearance, self-esteem and character. Being beautiful will make you more confident and lead you into achieving things beyond your wildest imagination. Don't let makeup define you, but instead define beauty using makeup. :)
Beauty is a power, make sure to use it well.
Stay beautiful inside and out,
--Miss G.
