Sometimes I really want to wear makeup. I want to feel pretty. I want attention. I want to find the balance wear I can wear makeup sometimes and feel like I'm not being a disgusting person for falling into the trap.
There's nothing wrong with wearing makeup and wanting to feel pretty.
The problem comes in when someone feels that wearing makeup is the only way they can feel pretty. But that's a deeper problem not so much related to the surface.
It's not a trap until you are so into that makeup/beauty routine that nobody is allowed to see you without make up even if there is an emergency. would you be putting on make up if the house was on fire? There are those that would instead of getting their family and getting out.
yea, and I would say those are the people with the extreme problems.
Ok, normally, I would not watch the tyra banks show unless I was hyped up on LSD, but they had this girl on the show who would not walk out of her house unless she was completely made up in many layers of makeup. So much so, it was a very hard and tramatizing event to take it all off and walk into the world without a painted face.
Why she felt her normal, bare, natural face was so 'unnacceptable' was beyond me, but I find it sad that she could not feel good about herself UNLESS she was wearing something to cover her face.
And there was nothing wrong with her bare face, and even if there was, no one should be that attached to wearing makeup that it's a horrible day in hell when you have to take it off.
Since when does choosing to wear makeup mean that you (or anyone) has fallen into a trap and she is only wearing makeup because she feels she has to. Yes of course, culture influences behavior, but that is true of every single culture that exists. Regardless of cultural influences, women themselves choose to put on makeup, no one is putitng a gun to their heads. There is nothing wrong with choosing to wear makeup.
If you want to wear makeup, do it. Don't even worrying about "falling into the trap." Makeup is fun, if you want, enjoy it. nothing wrong with choosing to wear makeup.
There's nothing wrong with wearinng make up. Wearing too mmuch though is a problem. Too many girls & women cake on the make up , going for a totally fake look.
As long as you don't become obsessed or too dependent on it. I wear make-up sometimes, but I'm lazy. I'd rather make sure my hair looks nice, keep my face clean, put on clothing I like over putting stuff on my face.
For makeup I'll wear mascara, some charcoal eye shadow smudged on the lids, and some lipstick/lip glass. I always rub off some of the lip-coloring, because I like it more subtle.
Makeup doesn't really make me feel pretty though. Working out and eating well makes me feel pretty, even when I don't see physical differences. Just the idea that I'm strengthening and taking care of my body makes me feel that way.
I think a change in hairstyle or dress is more effective over wearing some makeup. At least, if we're talking about quick fixes.
