Hey girls! Today I wanted to address a wide spread topic that we all know and face as girls.
Ever since a young age we messed around our moms makeup and decorated walls with bright red lipstick, but now we're all grown up and have found interest in the application of makeup ourselves. However, I decided to address this topic and devote this post to it because I feel like so many people are using makeup because of deep insecurities or are using it in huge unnecessary amounts especially during this young and critical age.
I agree, most girls use makeup on a daily basis now a days and I understand that, I myself use makeup every once in a while, but sometimes I stop and ask myself why. I'm a fourteen year old girl and I'll still have so much time to play around with different products later on. Our skin is so precious and delicate, and it's really not worth penetrating and ruining, when really your skin is lovely, and it's also young! The best and most important things for us now are a healthy diet, washing the face on a daily basis, and moisturizing! Honestly, you're all beautiful in your own way, and it doesn't matter who tells you otherwise, as long as you are happy with yourself and as long as you see your own beauty, it will shine out of you!
Of course I am not telling you to totally cut out makeup and never use it again. If you love it, and that's what you're passionate about go ahead do it, but it really isn't necessary to apply it every single day and especially in drastic amounts. If there is something that you're really not happy with choose very light and soft concealers, and be sure to use good moisturizers prior to application. And remember, all those pimples and zits will go away, and there are so many different creams out there that can help get rid of that, I personally use the Benzac AC gel (click here for review) which works like a charm, however using makeup to cover it up will make everything so much worse, and the process so much longer, and we definitely don't want that! Moreover, a lot of girls, including myself, have freckles, and absolutely hate them. And I always wanted mine to go away, and in my case they're not natural and are caused by the sun so in that case using sun protection cream will lessen that. But if your freckles really bother you and you don't know what to do, honestly let them be, I learned that from personal experience, and I learned to embrace them. It's a part of me, and that's just another thing that makes me who I am! Always look at everything in it's brightest light, and be confident of who you are! You don't need makeup to cover up your beautiful freckles or anything else on your beautiful face!
The next aspect of this topic that I want to address is the overuse of makeup which is something I've been noticing a lot in our generation. As a matter of fact I have been noticing so many youngsters using such a large amount of makeup, and honestly it's sad, when I was 9 I didn't even know MAC existed, or any of the other brand. Not just kids but teens and adults too, you really don't need the overuse of makeup. That drastic usage will be the cause of your wrinkles, and the wearing out of your face, that will be the cause that will force you to wear more and more makeup. But really, if you think of it, makeup is made to enhance your present features not to detract from your beauty or to ruin your face completely. Besides, overusing colors and products isn't only not very healthy but it doesn't always look that good either, and I totally understand the fact that some people are passionate about full on colorful makeup looks, but not all hobbies are best for your health or wellbeing right? You could always express your talent when going to certain occasions such as weddings or gatherings, and it won't affect your face as much since you don't do it on a daily basis. Just be sure to keep it in the right quantity and boundary, and put your natural beauty first!
I would like to end this on a very happy note, and wrap it up by saying that you all are honestly beautiful. I haven't seen you all but I'm sure that each one of you is beautiful in their own way, and the little spots and imperfections are what make you who you are! Also, beauty isn't affected by your looks only it's affected by what's inside, and what your character and personality are. Whatever is on the inside is always manifested on the outside, and your great character and kind heart will add to your outer beauty, and you will always look lovely!
Have a lovely day/night beauties, and don't forget to smile :)
