With the rapid escalation in technology, young women have been drawn to the evolutionary cosmetic daydream. From Urban Decay to Anastasia Beverly Hills, women have been infatuated with the beauty of contouring, on-fleek eyebrows and making yourself glow and sparkle.

But, even with dream in motion, girls have been constantly shamed and put down because of having “too much” makeup on, or even “not enough”.

There are comments all over the Internet of men stating that, “the first date they are going to take a girl on is into a swimming pool.” But when it comes down to it, they see a girl with no makeup and think they are “ugly” because they don’t wake up looking like Emma Watson.

There is no definition for “ugly” unless your defining the attitude these “men” have towards girls with makeup. My boyfriend sees me play with my makeup and calls me his “cute-ass glazed donut”.

Complimenting a girl on how she glows like a unicorn will score you more points than if you shame her because her nose is glowing from her highlight.

Girls, I have a message for you:

YOU

DO

YOU

BOO

It doesn’t matter who is coming after you because you wear makeup, don’t wear any makeup or not enough makeup. You are absolutely gorgeous regardless of what anyone says.

Just because it makes you feel good doesn’t give anyone the right to judge you for it.

Playing with makeup is fun.

Buying makeup (although my wallet is crying) is fun.

The ultimate fun is when you cake it on and walk out of the house, glazed and shining in the best way possible.

Feeling good isn’t a crime and it shouldn’t be treated like one.

So I have some advice:

Find the best lighting, get that selfie stick and front camera ready and you fill your camera roll with selfies babe because your makeup is POPPIN’.
