Recently, I have seen a lot of discussion online about how much make-up women are wearing, and more importantly how much make-up they should be wearing. From Alicia Keys ditching make up on the red carpet to an old friend saying she is regularly called a cake face, the topic of make up is everywhere. I have a very simple answer to this question. However much make-up a woman pleases is how much she should wear.

Want to wear a full face of foundation, bronzer, blush, lipstick, eye shadow, eyeliner, mascara and whatever else? Do it. Want to wear nothing? Do it.

Honestly, it's your face girl, if you feel good about it, do it.

Don't let your boyfriend or your mom or some random person on the internet tell you how you should or shouldn't wear your make up. (Unless it's just not your color and your mom is just trying to do you a favor by letting you know).

But seriously, why do we girls feel the need to consult our roommates, friends, and even the internet every time we want to wear our make up a little differently? Admittedly, I often look at the internet for tutorials on cool new looks. But it seems a little self destructive to constantly ask others for their opinion on whatever make up you're wearing.

Maybe we're afraid to wear make up we feel good in because us girls are always tearing each other down. We tear each other down so often over our make up, our hair, our clothes; that we're constantly afraid that some other girl is tearing us down. Why shouldn't we be afraid of another tearing us down? We see it all the time, we might even take part in it.

So let's stop tearing each other down and start wearing what makes us feel good. Or not wearing it, if make up isn't your thing. Because it's your face.
