The Beauty of Makeup
The concept of make up can be wrongly viewed to society in negative ways stereotypes play a big real in this for example “Women wear to much make up.” “Women only wear make up because they’re insecure.” “Why do you wear make up? Why can’t you enjoy your natural beauty? Although, What most people don’t understand that there’s also variety of good reason as to why women use make up. For example, many women wear make up products to enhance beauty. Therefore, women should have the choice to make themselves feel beautiful regardless of what social pressure are stating.
The standards of beauty have been set extremely high in society, which have led women to feel insecure. I agree that women wear make up to enhance their self-esteem because the goals of cosmetics are to cover imperfections such as pimples red ness, and pores. Many women don’t want to walk around showing imperfections on their faces, but having cosmetics that can cover those insecurity’s can bring alive a women’s confidence and define their beauty. Gabourey Sidibe, an American actress who played the main role in Precious, mentioned, “One day I decided that I was beautiful, and so I carried out my life as if I was a beautiful girl. I wear colors that I really like, I wear makeup that makes me feel pretty, and it really helps. It doesn't have anything to do with how the world perceives you. What matters is what you see.” Sidibe exemplifies the true beauty within herself. She explains how the perception of society does not matter in the eyes of the individual. What does matter is how she views herself as “a beautiful girl.” I agree with Gabourey Sidibe, because if a woman feels insecure it really shouldn’t matter if they’re wearing make up or not because getting mad at someone for wearing make up is like getting mad at someone eating a hot dog when your in a diet. A woman is just tying to feel comfortable in her skin and it shouldn’t be anyone’s business but hers.
Make up lets individuals express their artistic side to create beautiful flawless looks. There are many products and different brands that make people fall in love with the beauty of make up. It has become a passion and a work of art. The most common products include foundation, face powder, concealer, blush, and mascara. These products have there own purpose such foundation, usually in the form of a skin colored liquid that matches your face, to cover any imperfections or blemishes. Face powder, is mostly put after any liquid product is set to help stay longer, it also reduces shine and blemishes. Concealer is a cosmetic used to hide dark circles under the eyes or any red spots on the face. Blush is used on the cheeks normally in the tint color pink. Mascara, is an eye cosmetic that is makes eyelashes darker and thinker. These are some cosmetics that create fascinating looks and creations. There’s many different make up major brands that try to improve and create makes cosmetics such as MAC, Benefit, CHANEL, Urban Decay, and so on.
