3 Reasons why wearing makeup will change the way you think about it
“I love the confidence that makeup gives me.” ― Tyra Banks
To be honest, before I made it in the beauty industry I was fascinated by makeup. I loved how different shades of lipstick could change the way I looked and felt. Growing up, some women despised makeup, labelling it as vanity, unnecessary and ageing! I list 3 reasons why wearing makeup will change the way you think about everything.
1. Confidence
Makeup allows you to show people how you want to be seen. For example, if you wanted to look sick and pale, all you would need to do is darken the circles under your eyes and just apply foundation without any powder or contouring. Walk around and wait for people to ask you if you are okay. So, if you want to project confidence, all you simply need to do, at a minimum is apply a tinted moisturiser, a coat of mascara, some bronzer on your cheeks and a lip balm of your choice. Walk around and notice how different you feel about yourself. You will begin to feel the confidence from within radiating outwards.
2. Time
Have you ever walked past some women who have the perfect hair and flawless makeup? Once you realise how makeup works and the skill it takes for a flawless application you begin to appreciate the time women spend to make themselves look good. You realise the sacrifices some women make. Some prefer to wake up earlier just so that they have enough time to prepare. There is nothing wrong with that, because that demonstrates dedication for self love. If you feel you are worth it then you will invest your time in anything that makes you feel good whether it’s makeup, yoga or a decent moisturiser.
3. Personality
Do you ever notice how some makeup styles can reflect your personality? An example of a style would be the Marilyn Munroe style – a bold red lip paired with a sexy winged eyeliner? Not only did she exude confidence she also projected sex appeal. Or how Jennifer Lopes always manages and elegant yet powerful look? What kind of make up style would you like to project? Think of a celebrity or a movie character you admire. Observe the style of makeup they have and enjoy replicating those looks on yourself.
There is more to makeup than buying the latest trend or something a celebrity has endorsed. Make up helps build confidence, personality and is a reflection on how much time you choose to dedicate to loving yourself (in a not too vain way). When you love yourself, you feel good about yourself and everyone around you can pick up on the vibration you send out. How a woman chooses to present herself reflects how she wants the world to see her. You don’t need to go over the top with makeup, it’s okay to only wear a little. Even I just love getting eyelash extensions and put on a tinted moisturiser, some lip balm and I feel great.
