Makeup or not?

It's a question people ask themselves every day. It's a question with no right answers.

Along with it, come these questions:

Will people think I'm ugly without it?

Will they think I'm self-centered with it?

Do I look pretty?

Now, I have no doubt in my mind that there are girls who are going to post something along the lines of "Ew, I never wear makeup it's so fake and girly!" and I'm sad to say that I used to be one of them.

Now? I wear makeup as often as I please and I have a huge bucket full of makeup that I'm learning knew techniques to apply.

Do you know why I do that?

Do you think it's because I think I'm ugly without it?

Do you think it's because Society pressures me to wear it?

Do you think it's because boys only like girls with makeup?

If you guessed any of those, you're wrong. I wear it because I genuinely like how it makes me feel and look. For me. No one else.

Society will tell you you look hideous without it and shame you into covering up, only to say you wear too much, it's disgusting and misleading.

But they don't matter.

People who tell you you would look gorgeous with makeup don't matter.

People who tell you you would look gorgeous without makeup don't matter.

Your sense of beauty should come from yourself. Don't let people tell you to wear makeup. Don't let people tell you to stop wearing makeup. Because your opinion is the only one that matters.

And if you're a person who doesn't wear makeup for whatever reason, stop shitting all over it. Stop commenting "I never wear makeup, I'm not a girly girl, it's fake and stupid" anytime it's mentioned because some of us enjoy it.

Your opinion is valid and we respect you, but you don't need to cram it down people's throats.

You are beautiful with or without makeup. You are beautiful inside and out. You are beautiful when people love you or when they hate you.

You are beautiful because you choose to be.

Choose to be beautiful.

Take it one day at a time.

You are loved.
