Make-ups? What??

Just the other day, a guy asked me “How come you don’t put make-up? Don’t you wanna look pretty?” At that time, it seems pretty normal question to me.

But as I was driving home, I thought to myself. “Does it really matter? Why on earth do we put make-up for?” Have you ever wondered?

Maybe it’s because:

1. We girls use make-up to beautify ourselves?

2. We girls want to look more attractive to guys?

3. We want to build our confidence?

4. To hide our flaws?

5. Make-up gives us more self-worth?

You know, I think it’s such a shame for girls to need make-up to validate them selves. Make-up does not increase ones self-worth nor does increase ones attractiveness. I am talking about attractiveness, not prettiness. No, I’m not saying it’s wrong. I’m just saying that sometimes we put make-up on for the wrong reason. If you are putting on make-up for your own self, because you like it, then it’s fine. But if you are doing it to make yourself more attractive to others, then you got to think twice about it.

I truly believe that beauty shines from within. Make-up does not beautify you. It just enhances the beauty that you already have. If a guy likes you, they should like you for who you are inside. Not just cause you look pretty with all the make-up on the outside. And if a guy wants you to put make-up for him all the time, then something must be wrong.

Personally, I’m a strong believer of natural beauty. I prefer not to have any make-up on, maybe cos I’m lazy *grins*. But that does not mean I don’t put make-up at all. Sometimes, when the occasion calls for it, or when I feel like it, the make-up goes on. And I use it because it makes me feel good and it gives me more confidence.

So to all the girls out there with the heavy make-up and stuff, remember that “True beauty comes from within”.
