I love makeup. That does not make me better than other girls and that does not make me less than other girls.
Our society has this mindset that those who choose to wear makeup only wear it to make themselves look prettier. Once I saw someone make an entire Instagram post about how people who wear makeup are insecure and don't like themselves. She implied she was a better and more confident person just because she didn't wear makeup.
I choose to do a full face of makeup everyday, regardless of where I am going. It's not ecause I am unhappy with who I am and what I look like but because makeup is fun.
To me, putting on makeup is a form of self expression. I believe you can tell a lot about a person based on how they do their makeup.
Makeup is something I am good at, so why am I being judged for doing it? You don't judge an artist for painting or a writer for writing.
People are so obsessed with tearing each other down to try and lift themselves up. While that girl on Instagram may think she is more confident and secure than I am, I disagree. If she was truly secure she wouldn't of felt the need to make that post and tear girls like me down. People tear other people down when they're insecure. It's a way for them to validate themselves and gain control of a situation and it's something we've all done at some point.
We should be building each other up. We should compliment the girls who choose to wear makeup and support the ones who do not.
Not everything needs to be a girl on girl war.
