Someone once said “Beauty is pain.” Whoever came up with the quote was absolutely right! As a woman, we do a lot. Not just to grab the attention of a guy, but to also make ourselves feel good. So when we look in the mirror, we say “Who’s got the juice? You got the juice.” From waist trainers, heels, MAC, NARS, and everything else, I would say beauty is pain, pricey, and precision.
I would define beauty as to what is on the inside and not the outward appearance. Beauty is the smile or that awkward laugh. Beauty is the bubbly personality or the feisty attitude. Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder. Whatever one may find attractive, someone else may find not so appealing. But you love who you love and in this case we love the outward beauty. Ladies, I’m not going to try and expose our little secrets, but I may have to (Sorry).
1. Beauty is Pain
Beauty does equal pain, patience, time, and practice. But when it’s all said and done, it’s a masterpiece. Between installing extensions and wearing five inch heels, we hurt ourselves to look pretty. We always want to look bomb when we walk through the door. It could be a birthday, going to class, or just to the store. We never want to get caught without our face beat, hair and eyebrows on fleek. We always have to make sure that our lips are on and waist trainer is tight. It also hurts when we spend a mad amount of money on these products.
2. Beauty is Pricey
About how much does a woman spend on her makeup? Between primer, concealer, foundation, liner(eye/lip), lipstick, and what every else one may like, the price adds up! I am not an avid makeup wearer, so of course I would say makeup is too much. But even a person like my mother says it’s too much but she continues to support her “drug.” As soon as she runs out of her shade, she automatically goes to MAC and they know why she’s there. It’s sad to say that but it’s very true. Beauty doesn’t just consist of makeup and heels, but it consists of hair and the products that come along with it. From the curling wand, color, and paying for the hair as well as the installation. Don’t forget manicures, pedicures, acrylic/gel tips and lashes.
3. Beauty is Precision
This one may be something new you guys haven’t heard of but it’s easy to understand. The lasted trend has been eyebrows. We simply fill them in with the pencil or brush, use concealer to highlight and blend. I know it sounds like a hassle, but it gets done and done correctly. When a woman does this, she doesn’t want the brow to look fake, too thin or too wide. Even when it boils down to highlighting, contouring, and the applying of the false lashes, women make sure everything is precise and on point. She doesn’t want the lashes to be too long, and doesn’t want her highlighting/contouring to look a mess.
I know, ladies, you’re probably thinking,” DAMN! She’s just going to spill all the beans.” Whereas, fellas are thinking they need to be on the lookout for all of this. Well ladies, I wasn’t spilling the beans, just trying to help you realize that beauty is pain, and then some. And fellas, don’t think a woman is ugly without her “beauty,” just be mindful that what you see Saturday night, might not be the same on Sunday morning. So still love her awkward laugh, good cooking, and patience she has for you.
