Makeup. Americans spend 20 billion green ones on, you guessed it, makeup. Which is ridiculous, I don't think we spend that much on food, or our kids. It's LUDICROUS. But stats are stats.
I don't think we would spend half as much money on makeup if we didn't feel like we need it, but we are surrounded by propaganda that screams, "OMIGRAVY COVER THAT GHASTLY FACE IN FOUNDATION."
We are surrounded by computer-generated images and told, this is what real people look like, beautiful look like, good luck accomplishing it. We are told that the solution is makeup. We strive for the impossible, and beat ourselves up when we can't achieve it.
My personal opinion? God made you a certain way, maybe he wants you that way. Now, I do not have anything against makeup, but ask yourself this, is it accentuating you, or covering you up? I think if it is the latter, and you feel like you have a really low self esteem, give it up for a week, see what you think then.
As you can tell by the title, I don't really wear makeup much. Like on Saturday and maybe Sunday. That's it. Why? Because I have to wake up at 5:30 in the morning. And I don't want to try in the morning. So I shower and do something with my hair and that is the time I would use for makeup. And honestly, I'm just fine without...
Hope I poked at the noodle in your noggin.
Over and out.
Love,
Cailin
