Makeup has always been something that has held my interest. Seeing the bright colors of eye shadow perfectly blended, the winged eyeliner sharper than a knife, and highlighter so bright you need sunglasses. But most importantly, I fell in love with makeup because of how it makes you feel on the inside.

Cosmetics are more than just powders and liquids, they are a creative outlet for any and every gender. The world of makeup is a place where judgement and shaming is rare, and everyone is encouraged to show their talents. There is so much support between the beauty lovers. Every beauty guru empowers each other, and makes each other feel welcome, no matter if you're a beginner or a professional. The acceptance and positivity that come along with being a makeup advocate is refreshing, given that there is so much hate and discrimination in the world.

It is absolutely amazing what people can do with a makeup brush in their hand. Every gender creates artwork, which become inspiration for others.

Although positivity radiates throughout the world of makeup between lovers alike, there is always going to be negativity brought on by those who do not take interest in makeup. There is always going to be those select few people who want to tear you down and judge you, but if layering your face makes you happy and makes you feel beautiful, that is all that matters in the end.

Nothing beats the feeling you get after spending hours on your makeup, and then looking at the finished product. There is no comparison to the glowing feeling you get when you apply a simple look, or a daring look. You have the ability to cover your insecurities, and accent your most beautiful features.

While being happy in your own skin is important, it's perfectly okay to cover your face in all of your favorite products. If it makes you feel beautiful and gives you an endless amount of confidence, then go for it!
