In to the world of make up

A face with a creamy foundation, eyes that look extra black with eyeliner on the lids, lashes that look elongated, red cherry lips which have a coat of lipstick and the list goes on. Make up -A world of a woman which keeps most of the men confused.

Most of the women like experimenting in almost everything that forms a part of their appearance. So what is wrong when they choose to express themselves through make up? At some point or the other we all hear to such stereotypical questions and opinions from various sources - Make up means you aren’t naturally beautiful, and it means you desperately want to look beautiful. It is for those people who would want to catch some attention and also for people who do not have enough morality to accept the way they look. People who spend money on makeup are sometimes considered to be anti- intellect. I have seen many men dominating women even when it comes to their personal choice of how they like themselves to be looked.

It is a natural truth that each one of us wants to look good but, looking good to oneself is sometimes more important than looking good to others. Women enjoy choosing from various colours, matching things and putting them all together. It shows their creativity and is a way of expressing themselves. It is not an easy task to do all these so perfectly. Men on the other hand like women being simple as they do not understand the intent behind putting in such huge efforts.

Makeup opens doors, communicates, and individualizes. It is sad that many of my peers denigrate makeup lovers as shallow and pandering for male attention, while in reality, physical appearance is one of the most influential factors in dealing with other people. Make-up isn’t about beauty at all. I enjoy being artistic, and hence, creating different looks. The outcomes of the looks I create also depend on my mood. It also makes me feel confident.

There’s no shame in embracing color, and no, it says nothing about intelligence. Sure, there are cheap thrills and negative stereotypes, but who cares? Make up thrills women and the obsession for it can make them happy by being able to change their appearance almost instantly. But no, how do we explain it to men? From head to toe, the way you carry yourself speaks it all, being it with make up or without make up is ones personal choice. Let us learn to respect each other’s choice of expressing themselves and make this world a colorful place.
