There's Nothing Wrong with a Little Glam

To Glam or Not to Glam

     I have heard much older women speak down on women who wear makeup. I have to mention it is the funniest and entertaining thing to hear. This gaggle of women was totally tearing down those who choose to embellish their looks.  These individuals claimed that the others must be covering something up.  Or they don’t particularly care about themselves. The opposite is actually true in this case.

     If you took a woman without makeup and compared her to a woman wearing it; what would you decide? More likely than not it would be assumed the one with cosmetics is more confident. This assumption would derive prior to ever hearing her say one word; or even moving around.

     When I see a woman with makeup on she generally exudes a level of confidence. One lady I know admitted she never looks in the mirror after dressing for the day. Nor does she fiddle with makeup. It can be verified that she lacks any confidence. This conclusion is based on overall appearance and body language.  Confident people will at least glance in the mirror to see if they are presentable. Or it would be just a natural reaction! Perhaps buying clothes that compliment one's shape would be a fresh start for some. I have no doubt it may increase confidence within any person.

     Wearing makeup and putting any effort in your appearance is essential to your mental well-being. Either way it is a choice!  Makeup is about: 1) Swag   2) Confidence   3) A way of life   4) Enhances your natural beauty.

     Overall no one is right or wrong when it comes to makeup. Being natural is fine. There is no crime in looking glamorous with makeup either!  I make no apology for wearing makeup. I know how to wear it and I have no problem rockin’ the hell out of it! My only concern is pleasing me. I will never request permission from anyone on being me!  Nor should anyone else!
