I Wear Makeup, Now What?

I get it if makeup is not someone's cup of tea but I really don't understand why some people has stigma attached to wearing it.

I don't write this to tell everyone how makeup does magic to someone's face or raise an argument of who looks smarter than who. I don't have a problem with girls that don't wear makeup. I have friends who don't wear it. I just couldn't get why some girls need to point out things like "Oh I only use powder and a ChapStick!", and even post statuses in social media like "I look this good without makeup!" or "Beauty is only skin deep!". I wonder why they always need to emphasize that natural beauty is still the most beautiful. Like, duh? (Girl, I exactly understand where you're coming from.)

Will makeup change your face? I'm not talking about photo shoot, cos-play or theatrical makeup. But when I wear eye shadow and mascara, I still have the same eyes. Makeup can only enhance the way you look. You can do it for glam or a natural finish. I don't wear it everyday as my job gives me this privilege of just staying at home. And when I do, I see myself in the mirror looking vibrant and younger. Whenever I see someone wearing a little makeup, it gives me a good impression that she takes time for herself. 

Learning how to apply makeup is just like learning how to bake a cake or play a musical instrument. It comes with passion. It always boosts my confidence every time I receive praises when I do makeup to other people. I'd always love to offer help. It’s really inspiring when someone feels beautiful but it’s very overwhelming when this feeling comes after you put the makeup on them. Yes, I am a wannabe Makeup Artist. Why not?

I don't feel ugly without makeup. I'm lucky at least I have a good skin. I'm even proud of my physical features that I would always love to accentuate them and that will make me feel more elegant. Nobody's perfect and I think makeup is also designed to minimize our imperfections. I don't care if anyone wants makeup and how much they wear, they're comfortable with it. I enjoy being a woman as I enjoy the glamour and the artistry of wearing makeup. It's my face after all.

Some people always try and put other women down for wearing makeup. Perhaps these girls just don't know how to apply makeup or don't look good with it but if you can't say anything nice to other people, then don't say anything at all. I don't understand why people need to be rude to someone who is just confident with herself and proud of the developing skill that she has. I wear makeup and I don't think it makes me look indecent.

Hating other girls won't definitely make you look smarter or appealing. Girls who wear makeup don't care about you not putting it on. So, what do you care about?
