Personally, I didn’t grow up surrounded by makeup wearers. I was one girl in a family full of boys and religious women, so it was foreign to me. As an adult, honestly I LOVE seeing others in makeup, and sometimes get a little excited when I see someone applying makeup to themselves and seeing the transformation! But honestly for myself, I am not a huge fan. Not because I don’t like makeup, I am just a get up and go kind of girl, and I am always going. So for me, lashes have been my go-to item in the past three years. Now that I have an awesome stylist who can do my lashes the way I like them, because I cannot apply them to myself, I am in heaven because it makes me feel awake and alive.
So I understand how people who love wearing makeup feel. It gives them a good feeling for many various reasons. Unfortunately, in the judgmental society in which we live in, there are people that are “makeup shaming” others who wear it a lot, saying they are insecure, or other hurtful things. No one knows why people choose to wear makeup, it is a personal decision. Just as for me, it is my personal decision NOT to wear makeup regularly, but I do wear it when it deems necessary. For instance, if i have a television or video appearance, it is a must for lighting purposes.
Check out this cool article I found on this topic, and draw some inspiration from it just as I have.
