"That Crap Covers Your Real Beauty"... UUUUH WHAT?
Ok - so for some reason people like to comment about makeup... like A LOT. Men. Women. Children. Old people. EVERYONE has an opinion on makeup.
A friend recently posted a photo of herself and the caption was merely her expressing how good it felt to have clear skin - that's it. Like - literally. And one of the comments on said photo was ""That crap covers your real beauty."
Uuuuuh - hold on a minute?! First - I work in that industry of "crap" you so boldly speak about - it is not crap. It is wonderful, beautiful, encouraging, and for heavens sake gives people confidence. Whether it's simply washing your face twice a day ( PLEASE do it twice a day), adding a dash of mascara or full on glam - that "crap" is helping people.
Secondly - how dare someone say that the product you used to clear your skin, that product that gave you confidence to go out and be yourself, is covering up your real beauty? Uhm, no sir. You're wrong.
Since said friend probably wouldn't want me using her photos - let's use mine shall we?
Ok - so these photos were taken the same day (please excuse my sun burn). The one on the left is after I had just worked out - no makeup - notta. The one on the right has my normal amount of makeup of of course, is not a sweaty mess.
Now - I personally don't think that's a dramatic difference and the one on the right certainly doesn't "cover up" my beauty. It simply accentuates what I want structurally on my face.
I personally, see beauty is someone's eyes and not because of the mascara - but because they sparkle with life and light and joy. The way someone laughs is their beauty, they way the make jokes, the way they are passionate about things. THAT is what makes someone beautiful - and I don't think some makeup or skin care line is gonna cover that up.
