To Use or Not To Use. That is the Question.
I just wanted to open this discussion as it pertains to makeup. Coming from a single-parent family, where my sister and I were raised by our dad, we have always been told that makeup is not necessary. In fact, it makes us look like a clown. Now I know this is not true at all, but for the majority of my teen years and now, I have always been debating whether or not makeup is who I am. What are your personal views on makeup, and how we use it? Is it absolutely necessary? And can we still look appealing to others without the layers of makeup?

I love makeup. I started wearing makeup at a young age. It all depends on what you think as an individual. I use makeup as a source of self expression.

I'm happy you brought this up. I personally love makeup and started wearing eyeliner when I was in my teens (I liked the way it outlined/emphasized my eye shape). I think the key to a relationship with makeup is to know first and foremost that you are beautiful without it, and then allow makeup to simply accentuate what is already beautiful about you.
Makeup definitely is not necessary. You can still look appealing to others without layers of it on. In fact, Kwan doesn't like it when I have layers of makeup on. I think a lot of guys think like that. They would rather know that you are confident in your own beauty to not feel the need to hide behind layers of makeup.
When it comes to wearing makeup, I see it as an accentuation of what I consider to be great features, so I like to play up my eye shape, eyelashes, and also my lips with nice lipstick shades. I don't like the idea of feeling tied to it every time I walk out my house, but I do like the idea of having fun with simple makeup looks and making them work with my features as well as my wardrobe choices for the day.

I personally feel like make up is something that is used at the discretion of the person wearing it. It's an accent to the beauty we ladies already possess, not a means of reinvention. So I guess I'm saying to each is own, our confidence comes from what's within you not what's on your face.
