Make Up

Tweet

I think that many young woman enjoy testing make up techniques and checking out different types. It's a right of passage. Make up has gotten so expensive and the weird and questionable chemicals and ingredients are rather worrisome. But, the thing that really bugs me about make up is the fact that it takes a person's uniqueness away. I see woman nowadays that look more like manikins than real human beings. Make up used to be something to enhance a woman's natural beauty. Now it seems to have taken that beauty away and left a woman looking unreal and fake. Blemishes and moles seem to have become something horrible and to be gotten rid of instead of the beauty marks they used to be signified as. It is sad that the natural is being out shadowed by the fake and unfirm. Take this picture for instance. On the left he looks natural. He has a few natural wrinkles and looks realistic. While on the right he has make up on and looks more unnatural and manikin-like. Keeping up with fads and such is so funny to me. I like to be an individual and look natural. I have been blessed with good genes and have good skin and having taken care of it over the years. I learned from an early age how to massage my face in the right direction and to take care of the delicate skin under the eyes. Beginning anti-aging techniques at an early age is very smart I think. How about not even looking made up? How about looking natural and just enhancing what we already have instead of hiding it with what looks like theatrical make up. Natural beauty is so much better. Women in the early times didn't have make up and used natural techniques to enhance their cheeks and eyes. Now days there is a product for every aspect of the face. Much of it I don't think is really even needed if you take care of your face. Think of all the money women would save if they didn't buy every product that comes on the market that says it's going to take care of aging for them. Part of it you have to do yourself. Or pay through the nose for products that may or may not really do the job at all. What are your thoughts on make up and natural beauty?
