Why do we choose to wear makeup?

It recently occurred to me whilst talking to someone that people don't actually know WHY they wear makeup upon their faces. 

1. To impress friends or boys. Yes admit it, you've worn makeup at least once to try and impress someone. If your a girl you want people to see the better side of yourself so you doll yourself up. There is nothing wrong with this. As long as you feel comfortable and aren't going totally overboard with the eyebrows/blush (you know what I mean no clowns aloud). It's normal for a girl want to look nice for someone special!

2. Confidence. If people lack in self esteem or confidence, they wear makeup to make them feel confident. It's one less thing to worry about (your appearance) so they wear it. It is known and common to wear makeup and instantly boost your confidence by 100%! It makes you feel like a new and improved you.

3. To cover up. Yes we all go through troublesome times with spots, blemishes and under eye circles. Of course all us girls would want to cover them up with either a bit of concealer or large amounts of foundation but the truth is people are comfortable in their own skin and feel the need to layer up. In my eyes no one particularly needs makeup but it's a good thing for you if you don't feel confident or if you just like the idea of being sophisticated and made up!

4. Because it's fun! Make up isn't all about covering up, that's why we have lipsticks, mascara, eyeliner and eyeshadow. Some people find being artistic with your lips or eyes is genuinely fun and amusing. It really is for people who enjoy and collect makeup. Whether it's deciding on your kind of eyeliner, or what colour eyeshadow shall you wear or what lippy to go for, it's all fun to beauty enthusiastics!
