one of few pics of my "au natural" haha.
i tend to avoid cameras on the days that i have no makeup on.
Seriously, I *hate* people who are all, 'ew, why do you wear so much makeup? There's nothing wrong with how you look!' Some girls wear it because they just like to wear it, ffs.
Mascara/eyebrows =/= a full face of makeup. I look dead without mascara on, and because of my little compulsion that I have developed where I have been plucking my eyebrows into oblivion, I look odd if I don't use my eyebrow pencil. It just gives me that little extra lift to my face that I need when I don't get enough sleep ever.
I have to say, it always amuses me when men are all, 'I prefer girls without makeup'. You'd be surprised at the difference between what men perceive as the 'natural' look, and what girls actually look like without makeup.
This is a different issue. I prefer girls/women without noticeable makeup (in other words, unnatural colours). It has nothing to do with whether I think it's a problem if someone doesn't feel right without any kind.
I could argue my point about my makeup habit forever by explaining how a well-done face brings out and emphasises the good parts of a face while concealing or...what's the word...not hiding, but you know what I mean...the less good parts. I wear makeup that I know will bring out the colours in my eyes or make my lips look pouty and kissable, or highlight my cheekbones.
There is a difference between too much makeup and strong makeup. Just saying.
Pet hate.
I wasn't confusing them. I was evolving the discussion.
1. I HATE people who get all judgemental or arsey about people who choose to wear makeup. Yeah, it's not healthy for a girl to not want to leave the house without mascara on, but it's also none of your business and if that's what makes her happy, so be it. Especially with a girl who is as young as TTBS, who will probably grow out of the need to wear makeup everywhere in a few years when she has matured and realised what a beautiful girl she is.
2. I extra-hate people who judge ME because I choose to wear bold or distinctive makeup. It doesn't make me a lesser person because I choose to emphasise my assets. Would you feel the same way about someone who wore a push-up bra and a low cut top? I very highly doubt it.
But I will say this: I truly apologise if it ever seemed I was judgemental, because that was totally not my intention. All I meant was to say what my opinion on the mindset is, not to judge anyone who has it.
Ain't nothing wrong with being judgemental. Don't go apologising for it!
I'm judging the shit out of all of you right now.
