First of all, when did loving makeup become a bad thing? When did it become bad to love yourself and to build your self-confidence with makeup? I am 100% pro makeup, because I know what it does for girls.
Think about this. If you had or have a daughter and someone told you that something existed that could improve their confidence level immensely, would you be interested? For so many girls, makeup is exactly this. Although I am a firm believer that girls do have to learn to love themselves without makeup, I see no problem with girls wanting to wear makeup because I see no problem with anything that gives girls more confidence.
See, for some reason girls who wear a lot of makeup are looked at in a negative light. People will talk bad about them and say things like, "they just want more attention" or "they would look so much better without that much makeup" and the one that never fails, "she's wearing that to impress guys", but the thing is... if it is making them feel beautiful why do we care? As women, shouldn't we be building one another up and not tearing one another down?
Trust me, there are days when I do not wear one drop of makeup around town and while I am still confident, I would be lying to you if I said I didn't feel way better about myself when I'm wearing makeup! The thing is, girls who don't wear any makeup, are just as beautiful as those who do. What the major issue is, is what makes someone feel the best. We could all look at a girl and agree that she looks way better with less makeup, but she may not feel this way. My point is, we should all want everyone to feel the best about themselves as they possibly can.
On another note, some people don't even feel like they need a lot of makeup, they just love doing it. Doing makeup is a hobby just like anything else, you just wear your work on your face in this case. Makeup is so fun in my opinion. Waiting for release dates on products, watching YouTube tutorials trying to get better, swatching makeup in Sephora, and doing makeup on your friends are some of my favorite things. This hobby is something that can keep me entertained for hours, and I know I'm not the only one because many YouTube makeup artists have millions of subscribers. Makeup is just fun for some girls, and excuse us if we wanna do something fun!
We shouldn't slam girls for wanting to increase their confidence, or have fun with makeup. In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with makeup or with the concept of enhancing our natural beauty. On the other hand, we shouldn't slam girls who don't wear any makeup because they are just as beautiful! In fact, girls who don't wear make-up are pretty brave, and they probably have a lot of confidence which is awesome. Whatever type of girl you are, just show the other type respect. We don't all have to be the same!
It all goes back to being a nice person. Accept someone the way they are, and as long as they're happy, let them be.
