"Makeup is not always transforming ones self into someone else, but rather our inner self to shine with confidfence." -Tania

My mirror absorbs the image of me- a transforming adult. I would be considered legal in eight months, but anyone who would pass by me would've guess that I was at least twenty.
Was that really the objective at all? To look older? I just wanted to be pretty. So does that mean beauty comes with age?
I remember when I was only seven. It was the big Christmas day. I had never felt so excited, even though that was the year I found out that Santa never really existed. I wasn't sad, I kinda expected it when Mom came home with a dozen boxes for me and my three brothers. Seven was the age. It was when I had first received a makeup kit and a vanity mirror. I feel the excitement of my seven year old self even now. A bunch of jumping was involved that it made my feet sore for days. I quickly tried it on and even if I was so young, I was already a pro. That day on I wanted to be a makeup artist for movies.
It wasn't until I was fifteen when I started to wear makeup on a daily basis. For some strange reason, I had came up with the idea that since I was attending high school I had to wear makeup. The years from seven to fifteen, I only practiced and wasn't allowed to wear it because my mother had told me that I could ruin my face.
Oh, was she so right.
Makeup was like a drug. It's like the moment you put it on, you seem to need to apply it on to your face every single day, just to make yourself feel better about yourself. Because you will feel ugly without it on. Spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Makeup seems to be the only answer.
I can also compare it to clothes. Whenever you wear a really nice outfit--you know, the one you spent so much money on and it matches with those nice pair of jeans and that nice pair of shoes? It just comes all together and whenever you wear that one outfit, it makes you feel so confident and you instantly feel much prettier?
That goes for makeup as well. You can recreate yourself. I know that makeup can be a little controversial, but people should understand why so many of us girls wear it. And don't just assume that us girls wear makeup because we have low self-esteem.
As my job of being a makeup guru, I help other young teens at my age to feel more confident by teaching them different styles of makeup. And my advice is not only limited to that, but I also do facials and hair treatments, et cetera et cetera.
That is my mission.
My name is May Miller and makeup is my life.
