The other day I was sitting in class and I overheard a boy in my class talking about girls wearing makeup and it made me think well actually why do we wear makeup?
1. Confidence - Many girls especially in our society nowadays feel like they aren't pretty enough or they just feel very self conscious about the way they look and makeup is a way of covering up and you feel better about how you look and gives us a little confidence boost.
2. Advertisement - This may sound really weird at first but what I mean is that in the adverts they have these beautiful/perfect looking models and you look at them and aspire to be that pretty, so you try to be, but what many people don't realise is that the models faces and body is edited to be made to look perfect.
3. Clearer complexion - People (including myself) wear makeup to hide under-eye circles or blemishes. This makes us feel better about ourselves.
4. For fun! - Makeup is generally something girls have that's different to boys so sometimes its nice to mix and match and playing around with makeup is really fun and if you go wrong you can just wash it off and start again!
Never feel like you have to wear makeup just because your friends do or someone says you should, be yourself because that's the best person you can ever be. But if you feel more confident with it on (like me) go for it because if that's how you gain confidence its worth it.
