I love makeup. I love wearing it, shopping for it, not so much all the money I spend on it, but I love it. Makeup allows me to express myself. To me, makeup is a hobby. In today's social media-filled society, the makeup game has been changed forever by YouTubers and Instagrammers, such as NikkieTutorials, HudaBeauty, and Manny Mua, uploading their tutorials and new looks that they try out every day. That is what I love. What they do is art. It is beautiful. I truly enjoy scrolling through my feed and looking and various accounts to see real people using makeup to transform their already beautiful selves into something even more stunning.

What I don't understand is why people are ridiculed for how their appearance changes when they put on makeup? Ironic, isn't it, because you're supposed to look different, that's the point! It is to enhance your natural features or give yourself a bold new look. People who wear makeup shouldn't be called fake, or ridiculed for any reason. One of my favorite things to do is to take my time doing my makeup in attempt to get better at it. I am comfortable in my skin with or without it, but I enjoy putting on makeup because I think it is beautiful.

There are days I want to feel 'glam', donning a full face of makeup complete with glitter, lip color and highlight and contour. Other days, I opt for either no makeup or just a little concealer and mascara. There are so many possibilities. No matter what you choose to do, it is all about being comfortable with yourself, and if you feel better going all out, then go all out!

So basically, don't hate on whether or not people wear makeup or how different they look with or without it. It is an art form that I, along with many other men and women, appreciate very much. With or without makeup, everyone is beautiful, and should be confident in their own skin, without fearing the ridicule of others.
