I'm a little unique in that I don't do makeup just because I feel I have to. I genuinely love makeup. I must own at LEAST $3,000 in makeup, easy. To give you an idea, I have 4 and a half MAC makeup palettes filled up...that's about 80 eye shadows...Each one costs $14 dollars...And that eye shadow ALONE! I know, terrible. Anyhow. For me, it's about self expression. It's an art form. I can take a girl with no eye lid crease, no cheek bones and a double chin and bring out ALL of her best features and make her feel like a princess. Makeup shouldn't cover up a thing, (aside from pimples and dark circles! :P) it's job is to enhance. I don't get why girls who wear makeup (and yes, even a LOT of it) always get such a bad wrap. It's . Because I have splash of color on my cheeks and on my fricken eye lids, I'm a vapid wh0re? That doesn't even make sense...lmao.
So, back on topic, I wear it because it makes me smile. Don't get me wrong, I schlep all hung over in my PJ's and with a greasy face to Denny's on saturday morning just like everyone else, but to be honest, I feel a lot more comfortable when I've done myself up. It's just a preference.
