Welcome to Gaia! ::

The thing about make up, is it can add to a womans confidence.
Many women find themselves to be horribly grotesque until their've painted a new face on themselves. Its pretty sad, but from my experience, it's more the woman trying to please herself, as opposed to her trying to please everyone else.

I agree that women are beautiful already. However, natural beauty where a girl doesn't feel the need to wear make up to be beautiful is horribly rare.

I agree, it may be a confidence issue which is really a shame.

um tend to change my appearance a lot so i can go from wearing no make up at all to the whole deal, foundation, powder, eyeliner, eyeshadow, lipliner, lip gloss... in the span of a week. i personally just don't care what people think about what i'm wearing or not wearing.

but for a lot of people make up is a little confidence booster. and let's face it, everyone gets a little embarrassed if they have a pimple or something. why not let them use a little cover-up so they won't be thinking about it all day?

also, does anyone think that make-up on little kids is kinda wrong? like, i've seen 11 year-old girls wearing as much make-up as i do sometimes and it makes me a little freaked out. why does an 11 year-old need eyeshadow??? i didn't wear make up on a regular basis until i was like.. 13 or 14.

I don't think that these girls wearing make up and revealing clothing means they are trying to be sexy. THey are trying to act more like a woman though they are lost on what a real woman is exactly. They wer make up because they think that all woman do. Girls played with dolls in an attemp to fake raise a child. They do this to be more like their mother. As they get older they will copy women they see every day in magazines and on TV. Now girls are are trying to grow up at an age that is deceasing. THey are trying to be like young women. I don't think it is right because their idea of a women is wrong.

I wear makeup almost every day, but not because I think it will attract men, I do it because I think its fun. Its like an art form, and another way of expressing myself.
In fact, most of the guys I know ask me to stop wearing makeup because they think I'd be prettier without it.

I'm not trying to say that all girls wear make-up to impress boys, but a few I know do. It might just be a confidence issue for them though. I knew one girl who intentionally would wear alot of make-up because she liked a boy, and because she thought it made her look better, it really didn't though.

the only makeup i wear is eyeliner and lipgloss on special ocasions. i already have big eyes and big lips so there really is no need for me to wear it but i do for fun.
