Why is Makeup Important?

My friend came over today and really liked my makeup.  I learned from a YouTube Makeup artist named Michelle Phan (rice bunny).  She is a professional with makeup.  Sometimes, I like to go natural and sometimes I like to go "dark".  When I go dark, I use dark makeup like black eyeliner, mascara, eyeshadows, eyebrow makeup, and nail polish.  When I change my look with makeup, sometimes I feel like my personality changes.  It's fun to change looks.  Makeup is an integral part of fashion.  Makeup completes the look of different outfits.  As a designer, I personally want to wear makeup.  It helps me to feel special because I spent time on myself and I feel more confident.

Too many girls are wearing WAYYY too much makeup for school.  Like, for example, they make their looks too harsh.  There are girls of all ages who do this.  One example of this is when they put so much makeup on that it gets smudged and they look like raccoons!  I try not to do that; I try to use only a little bit of makeup at a time.  If you live in a humid climate like me, or have oily skin, you should use waterproof mascara on your bottom lashes.  That helps the raccoon problem!  You don't always need to wear makeup...people wear makeup just to feel accepted sometimes.  You don't need makeup to be accepted.  Unfortunately, a lot of times, people just judge you by your looks.  Like, when you wear glasses, people could call you "four eyes"....or bug eyes.  People should really think before speaking.  I would want to be judged by how my heart is on the inside.  Makeup is a great tool for fashion, but it is most important to have a beautiful inside.
