I love it. Media has made so many people believe that women have to be wearing makeup to be presentable. And this has skewed the mindsets of men and women. I've heard of wives who refuse to let their husbands see them without makeup in the morning, so they get up before them to get ready so that their husband can see their perfectly painted faces before he leaves for work.
What the heck!? That is c r a z y.
Women are not simply objects of beauty who all have to look the same and have the same perfect eyeliner and blush on every single day to be women. Women are just people! They have good days and bad days, they can wear makeup when they want and should feel comfortable without it as well. I hate that every movie with a female interest has the same body, the same hair and the same perfect makeup. Even TV shows with teenage girls show them with perfect faces. Why can't they just show the actors as they really are, with their naturally pretty faces? It's so weird.
Anyway, I like makeup. But goodness, I wish we could all feel more comfortable in our own skin and not feel like we have to look like the perfect faces on TV to look pretty every single moment of every day.

I definitely agree with you Diana! I really do think that women should feel more comfortable going out in public and not putting their "face" on all of the time. My roommates and I went to a movie last night with no makeup on and baggy clothes. And it was honestly great to go out like that. I think the media should focus on women and how they really look.
ReplyDeleteTrue true. Because everybody sees everybody else looking 'perfect', they have to be lookin' good too. But people have to realize that it is not a competition. People love you for you, and why try to look like someone else when you can look like you! Crazy peoples these days.
ReplyDeleteI met Sarah Palin when I was in middle school. She is such a great role model for women. we should all be comfortable in our own skin!
