The Magic's in the Make-up
Natural or all made up? What's your preference in life? Unfortunately I don't think we women often get a chance to decide. How many tabloids out there fight to capture images of celebs without make up on so they can make fun of them? How many guys say "I love when you don't wear make up" and don't realize that you just have the minimum on, for you know you'd be judged if you had literally nothing on. We let society decide how we look when we leave the house, and unfortunately, you almost can't resist unless you're ready for criticism.
I don't wear this much make up every day. This is a lot for me. Today I decided to compare myself completely bare to made up a bit, to really see what the difference is. Amazingly, and yet not really shockingly, I'm more a fan of the girl on the right. But it's only because I have it ingrained in my mind that she's the me that's "beautiful" according to societal standards. We can use magic to transform ourselves.
I know there's debates about this. There are people who use make up to "highlight" your beauty, and people who do it for special ocassions, or people who just do it for fun, etc. I'm not saying it's bad, and it's just a personal opinion, but I do think there's a fair amount of judgement laid on women who go out of the house au naturale...and I just wish there wasn't. I wish everyone thought they were beautiful no matter how much makeup they had on.
