My Thoughts.. | Is it wrong that girls wear makeup?

There's a lot of controversy around makeup and who should wear it, who shouldn't blah blah.. But is it wrong for a girl to wear makeup? I mean, let me just say this first, makeup isn't for everyone, I understand.. But is it right to grill a girl for choosing to wear makeup? No, it isn't.

I believe that everybody is beautiful in their own, very unique way but makeup just accentuates that beauty. This is why they say black eyeliner brings out lighter eyes such as light browns and blues or having defined brows frames a face etc.. So, why must a girl be labelled as ugly because she chooses to wear makeup?

Having said that, I also believe that less is more. Especially if you're just starting off, I know the whole prospect is exciting, you know, trying out this amazing new art. But you need to calm down, move back and assess the situation. Here are some tips:
1) Opt for tinted moisturisers instead of foundations to let your skin shine through.
2) Use brown eyeliner and mascara instead of black to give that natural definition.
3) Lip stains or lip balms are a great way to have long lasting subtle colour on your lips through out the day.
4) It is also very important to let your skin breathe, like have days where you go bare faced, your face will thank you. TRUST ME. And, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.

Anyway, I don't think there's anything wrong with a girl choosing to incorporate makeup into her daily life. It's her choice. Whether she wears it as a mask to conceal her true identity, whether she wants to enhance her natural beauty, whether it's a one off for a party, wedding or whatever, whether she wants to conceal her flaws, or whether she doesn't wear it at all.. it's up to her.

Remember, beauty isn't makeup, beauty is you, you are beautiful. 

XOXO
