There are a few controversial topics, among most generations, that can lead to feuds that are petty and can be solved with only a set of facts or settled over food. One such feud in this generation is about makeup, which has been a growing industry throughout the years and has become ultra popular within the last few years. This was one of the things I never got a handle on, nor was I ever interested in learning about, yet now more than ever does it seem to be an eye-catching practice. Women all over the world have picked up their brushes, tweezers, and foundations to create faces that can bring down kingdoms. The industry itself has grown exponentially as to specify what goes on a face, and, more specifically, what piece of the face it will highlight to the point of flawlessness, to make each person a portrait.
Within the last few years, even the last two years, makeup has been evolving to the point that tutorials are everything for the beginners, and Sephora is more popular than most clothing stores. Women, and even men, have been using makeup as an art form; creating and making faces for hours, making anyone jealous of their skills. Through these years, there have been parts of the face that have attracted more attention, becoming a trend, such as the eyebrows and cheekbones. People are putting emphasis on these features to show that they think these are their more noticeable parts. We all have parts of our body we are proud of, or should be proud of, and love to accent those parts by putting something on to put it on display. For some, those who are confident, they consider their faces to be their best feature and decide to paint them in a way that makes artists weep. I know I've been jealous of those who can blend as though there aren't sixteen products on their face, making it look natural and immaculate.
People should not put those who love to do makeup down and those who enjoy making themselves look like masterpieces. To become skilled in such a strange type of hobby is quite interesting when people are able to just make themselves become a new person. They are painters, sculptors, designers of their own bodies and can create the most wonderful artwork, just on their bodies. Makeup is also a big part of dressing up, especially for Halloween, when a painted face and a simple costume is something wonderful. This is why I feel makeup is a great form of art, especially for the individual who uses it as an escape and they feel beautiful because of it; that is true wonder.
