8 Things stupid people say about MAKEUP.

HELLO GUYS!!

I have a heart to heart post  today relating to make up as well.

I get quite a few questions from people in my day to day life 

on why I apply make up every single day.. 

why I like to wear it and all that.

So I've summarised a couple of misconceptions that I have heard here and there.

#1 Girls shouldn't wear makeup on a daily basis.

First of all - a girl  should have at least two makeup routines. 

One for daytime. 

and one for going out / that special occasion. 

If a girl wears the same make up everyday and always, 

well that's somewhat boring, I think. 

You have to find different looks that will give you that standing out look, 

and find a look that works for you during daytime. 

#2 If you wear make up everyday, you're ugly.

In all honesty, NO make up will make you look like a whole other person. 

It can enhance what you got,

slightly alter it, and hide your flaws.

#3 You shouldn't wear make up everyday, because you need to give your skin a break. 

OK. every now and then your skin DOES need a break. 

But that doesn't mean that you should stop wearing makeup. 

You should tone down - 

skip the foundation (I don't even wear foundation for daytime)

and minimise the products you use. 

It is very important that you thoroughly cleanse your face every single day, 

and MOISTURISE. 

My problem with this statement is that most people say this ..

meaning that you should only wear make up on weekends or special occasions.

#4 You're going to get so much wrinkles from all the make up that you wear. 

Haha. This is the funniest statement EVER.
Who the hell said make up AGES you?
It might make you look older, it might dry out your skin, or break out your skin.
But make up in general will NOT age you.
It is a mere product you use over your face.
The way I see it, makeup provides a layer over your face and almost protects it from all the fumes that
our skin encounters in the air.
Most make up is infused with vitamins, minerals, moisturising abilities these days,
it will not make you look older, if anything it has skin-enriched ingredients.
STUPID REMARK, people.
And A LOT of people say it.
So there are a lot of stupid people out there.

#5 Girls shouldn't wear makeup when they have errands to do.

 It is NONE of your business what a girl puts on her face before she goes out, 

whether it's errands or not.

I like playing around with my make up, 

 Nobody breaks through my routine.

Because  to me, makeup is a routine, 

I put it on first thing in the morning. 

It relaxes me,

and boosts my confidence.

which brings me to the next stupid statement.

#6 Girls who wear make up have self esteem issues

 First of all, 

EVERY single girl has insecurities. 

Even guys have them.

If you don't, 

you're not human. 

It's your reaction to them that counts.

I have no problem in saying I have really bad under eye circles and all that. 

I love how my concealer can cover them up. 

so if there's a quick fix to hide my under eye circles, 

why shouldn't I do it?

Wearing make up boost your self confidence because you are taking care of yourself.

It enhances your self-worth. 

That's the way I see it. 

It is perfectly normal to want to feel beautiful when you look in the mirror. 

and if make up helps you do that, 

because you're hiding things you're insecure about 

it doesn't mean you have really low self esteem. 

It means you have the guts to find a solution for your insecurities. 

#7 Girls who wear makeup are snobs.

Oh man. This is my favourite one. 

A lot of people think I'm a snob. 

A LOT.

I can see it in the way they look at me..

and I even had people tell me they used to think I'm a snob before I talked to them. 

Don't judge a book by it's cover.

Makeup does not affect personality, 

or the actual person AT ALL. 

Stupid stupid remark.

#8 Girls should only wear makeup in the weekends or when going out.

WHY? 

No really, .. why?

Do you only wear clothes in weekends? 

NO - OF COURSE NOT. 

Probably you wear different clothes in weekends. 

The same should be with girls and makeup. 

In weekends or special occasions, 

they can change their makeup look 

and look more VA-VA-VOOM. 

But that doesn't mean they should skip their makeup everyday. 

It's rather stupid to say that. 

What crosses my mind when I see girls who put no make up whatsoever 
on a daily basis 
EVEN when they go out 
AND EVEN when they have a special occasion
(based on my personal experiences)

1. They either don't know know to but are willing to learn

2. Or They couldn't be bothered to learn

3. Or They are feeling depressed

4. Or They overslept and had no time

5. Or They might have low self esteem issues


SIDE NOTE: I understand some people argue that they have the confidence to wear no makeup at all - if you feel that you can work it good on you -
but I've seen girls who NEVER ever wear makeup even on special occasions,
and I think even just a little bit of makeup could pull off the look.
Just like - you wouldn't need to go and get your hair done but a sleek polished hair-do still pulls a look off. 
A little makeup can make you look polished and smart, too.

A message to all people who have said these stupid remarks before. 

Make up is empowering to women, 

it's about self expression, 

a reflection of their personality, 

just like wearing a certain type of clothing reflects your personality. 

STOP judging a book by its cover. 

and if anything..

if a person is not splashing your face with makeup, 

SERIOUSLY? WHY DO YOU BOTHER?!

So be who you are people, don't try to please everybody,
because you will never manage.

"I don't know the road for success, but I know the road to failure is trying to please everybody"

:D
