Internal Beauty and Makeup

Natural beauty is always best

Internal Beauty and Makeup
Irella Francis

Beauty should come from the inside and not from the outside. Everyone is beautiful because we were created in the image and likeness of our heavenly father.

I believe that makeup should be used to enhance someone's beauty, and using too much of it should be avoided. A lot of individuals use makeup to hide their outer beauty because they feel insecure about themselves; some individuals get teased by friends and sometimes even family members about wearing makeup. Others are told that they should at least wear some makeup on their face to look pretty, which I disagree with.

There are a lot of people who I believe introduce their children to makeup too early in life and so as they grow up, they start to believe that if they don't wear makeup they are not beautiful. This is wrong. I'm not saying that wearing makeup is wrong but, it is being abused by people who wear it, I am naturally beautiful and therefore I tend to not wear makeup all the time. When I do I only wear a little bit maybe just some face powder, eye shadow and lipstick. There are many times that I walk around in the capital of Dominica and notice that so many individuals wear too much makeup.

Sometimes, people see that their friend may have too much makeup on and do not bother to say anything to them. I believe that they should say something so that the person would use less, and also learn how to apply makeup correctly. While makeup lasts some people quite a while, it only lasts others a short period of time. Some may feel that if they use a small amount that they won't be satisfied with their look. They always want to look extraordinary when going out. I believe that less is best and I'm happy when I see individuals with little to no makeup, and those that are comfortable with their natural beauty.

Many times while looking at celebrities on the television, seeing them on the red carpet all dressed up in all their glamor, you tend to notice that although they are wearing makeup it may not always show so much while there are others who come on the red carpet natural, most of them don't overdo it when it comes to wearing makeup.

Natural beauty is always the best. I believe that for some of the pageants and modeling shows they should promote natural beauty. What they are teaching these young ladies is that they should always wear makeup because they are now in the limelight and everyone is looking up to them, and so these individuals feel like they should always look glamorous when stepping out I believe that they should also promote natural makeup and tell people to embrace their natural beauty.

My message to everyone is that they should use makeup to enhance their beauty and not be afraid to showcase their natural beauty despite what others may think.

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.
