The 7 REAL Reasons Why Girls Wear Makeup

In This Article:

What some people don't understand is that girls wear makeup for themselves — not for the guy she likes or the guy she has been with. Girls wear makeup because they want to for them. They want to feel confident, beautiful, and mature. Some girls don't wear makeup and still feel confident and beautiful. Other girls do not, let it be from people in their life now always being on them about their looks or people who once were in their life and affected them in this way.

Here are some of the real reasons why girls wear makeup:

1. It's a fun spare time activity.

It's her day off, the weather is terrible, or she has hours before she has to go anywhere and doing her makeup is something some girls do to waste their spare time.

2. It's fun to experiment with.

One day you can wear purple makeup and the next you can wear green. It's just fun to try new looks and not care!

3. Makeup can help to look presentable and awake.

Being up the night before a presentation, preparing for finals, or even an interview, makeup has the magical powers of making people look awake and presentable for the interview and presentation.

4. It balances out the uneven skin tones.

Self-explanatory.

5. You can use it to highlight certain features.

Some makeup highlights the eyes, and the pleasing features on a face; while others don't highlight the unwanted features (acne).

6, It's an easy way for them to express themselves.

Girls use makeup to express themselves in ways that they otherwise never could. They put the makeup on that they think is them, and without that look, they don't feel like themselves.

7. CONFIDENCE.

The main reason girls wear makeup is to feel confident. When they have the makeup on they feel like a queen and invincible. They feel unique and noticed, and that's what is important.

Don't judge a girl because they wear makeup to feel good about herself. Let her be her and live her life. Bottom line is no matter what, wearing makeup or not, all of the girls out there are beautiful, unique, and amazing. Keep doing you ladies!!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
