Thread: Too Much Make Up?

I think the real heart of this problem is the issue of self-confidence. Many people view make-up as a security blanket, or as a way to hide ourselves from the outside world. But really, I think wearing makeup is a sign of high self-esteem, and more importantly, self confidence. (With the exception of stage make-up, comically thick make-up, or excessive use of color.) Women with negative thoughts about themselves rarely take the time to emanate an attractive outward appearance. Women with self-esteem seem to do this more. So in a way, your make-up dilemma could be a positive sign about women in general; since most women wear make-up, perhaps most women have high self-esteem.

OMG.. i am a college student, early in the morning... the first thing you see is all colors of make up. most girls on the campus look like raccoons because they wear so much make up. I always wonder why are they wearing so much make up. the only thing i wear, when i am going is a little mascara for eyelashes. I believe that make-up only increase the risk of aging, acnee because of chemicals that's inside the make up.

They feel self-conscious about not wearing because most of them have been for a long time. Yes I know if they never had worn any it'd make them feel better but a lot of girl go through a stage of when they're finally allowed to wear make up and so they do. Some of them find out the hate it, some of them don't care either way and some of them form an attachment to it. After that I'm pretty sure women don't change their views that much

I have found that many women actually look better with little or no makeup than with. I don't think it is usually even a case of them lacking skill in applying makeup but rather in the makeup detracting from their natural beauty.

Then again, it seems that based on my previous posts that I also don't give a rat's behind if a girl has a big butt, small boobs, and a bush, so maybe I'm just a freak.
