Whatever has happened to natural beauty? Do all those good looking people nowadays consist of anything more than makeup?
What is make up? Make up is just THAT, some thing that is made up. Whatever has happened to the term NATURAL BEAUTY? Gone with the wind, isn’t it?
FIRST STATEMENT:MAKE UP ISN’T NECESSARY(YIKES! Stop aiming all those knives, rotten eggs and pitchforks at me. chill. I will change my statement!)
I will try again.
SECOND STATEMENT:MAKE UP DOESNT NEED TO BE TOO THICK AND TOO MUCH
(thats better)
To read my review effectively, feel free to bring
a)a mirror
b)make up remover
c)your contact lenses(if any)
MASCARA *
First things first. Remove your eye make up.(Wear you contacts so that you can see clearly). Now look into the mirror. What do you see?’My eyes, duh’, I can hear you all screaming in unison! Some people have naturally very long eyelashes and so, tell me, is it really a need for mascara? If you have not so long or sparse eyelashes, then, I suppose you wear mascara but imagine a long eyelashed one wearing mascara until her lashes are practically reaching the floor!
LIPSTICK, LIPGLOSS *
oK, ok, I know why we wear lipgloss. It really DOES take that dull look of our face, doesnt’ it? Still, once again, wear lipstick/gloss in MODERATION. Tell me, if you are going to spend the whole saturday just cleaning your house, you don’t need that 5 layers of lipstick on do you?
Another thing about lipstick is that it is extremely dramatic and delicate, even more so than lipgloss. With lipstick, if by some misfortune, you apply it sloppily, thats it! YOU WOULD LOOK LIKE A CIRCUS CLOWN Whoops, was I too frank?
Another thing is colour. I have noticed that the younger you are, the lighter and more’pinky’ your lip gloss colour should be so that it looks good on you. Teenagers, stay clear of dark colours like maroon or dark red unless you want to be laughed at.
Exception to this rule: THose wannabe Goths can go grab yor black lipstick.!
FOUNDATION*
Nothing looks as good as NATURALLY CLEAR skin. But then, most of the human female population DO have bad skin days with an occasional breakout which leaves scars for a while. Then maybe, you need foundation to make your skin look super smooth but BEWARE. TOO MUCH of foundation and THATS IT, you look like a complete FAKE.
And anyway, have you seen people who have dark hands but a very WHITE, WEIRD face due to too much powder?
CONCEALER*
Got bags under your eyes which you can pack your clothes in? Getting enough SLEEP works better than slabbing on the concealer. Plus, its a lot more fun to sleep!
BLUSH*
Say what again? Blush? OH NO. Blush is another extremely delicate thing. Whether it looks good on you or not depends on your skin ton. If you have a natural, brown tan, try not to wear blush, coz it will make you look silly. If you are very pale but you don’t have the whole high-cheekbone-cum-apple-cheeks don’t wear blush. If you are very pale and have the ultimate face shape, then wear blush in moderation!
EYELINER*
Tell me, do you want to look as freaky as tomboy sanju in main hoon na? Or even as weird as Avril Lavigne? No? Then, don’t wear too much of this. =================================================
MOST IMPORTANTLY*
How good you look DOES NOT depend entirely on your make up. It depends heavily on these factors:
HOW YOU CARRY YOURSELF
WHETHER YOU HAVE FOUND YOUR LOOK
YOUR HAIR
WHAT YOU WEAR
The first one: how you carry yourself. A girl who walks confidently gets more attention than another who is prettier but slouches and walks meekly like Chicken Licken waiting for the sky to fall.
The second one: Is that mirror still in your hand? Yes? Good, good. Now look at your face, and decide, what look suits you? Is it the’sexy look’, ’innocent look’, ’sweet face look’, ’cute girl look’? And DO NOT decide based on which look you LIKE, but decide on which look is RIGHT for you. These two are almost never the same look.
The third one: HAIR. Here, it is all up to your powers of experimentation. Bored of your tresses?
Do a one hairstyle per week routine for a while.(Thats what I did)
The simplest trick at variation lies with your HAIRPARTING! Have a boring, straight, middle parting? cHange your parting to a zig-zag parting(trust me, it looks wayyy cool) or change to a zigzag side parting or change to a barely there no parting messy hair look.
And if you are going to dye your hair, although it is weird, pink highlights look good on dark hair. light blue too should work.
HAving second thoughts? Keep that dark hair dark!
The fourth one:WARDROBE. I don;t need to say anything, do I? I belive that anyone who has been gifted to be female knows how to put together a perfectly good, attractive outfit that really is very complementing. =====================================================
BACK TO MAKE UP*
So, I am not asking you to just dump all that make up you have. Its just that with make up’LESS IS MORE’ and once again*
NATURAL BEAUTY ALWAYS WINS
