Makeup
I’ve heard a lot of girls say that they don’t wear makeup and they don’t need it and it’s fake and unnatural and blah blah blah...and sometimes I agree.
But I wear makeup.
Today I did my eyebrows, used eyeliner, mascara, eye shadow, used concealer, all that. I do wear makeup.
I don’t think anyone should feel bad for wearing makeup. People wear it for different reasons. It doesn’t make you fake. It doesn’t make you a different person. I use make up because it’s calming to apply it and it enhances my features.
Makeup was meant to enhance your beauty, not to hid your scars.
Remember that.
And the thing is, I’m not a girly girl. But I still like using makeup. Don’t judge people that use it. XD
Anyone else use makeup?

Okay, I disagree.
When you say “always strive to be yourself” I do. Just because I might use some makeup doesn’t change the way I act or am myself. That’s why I don’t like when people say that, because I am still myself even with or without makeup.

I think what she meant was, don't use makeup to try and change yourself. Of course you can be yourself with makeup on! As long as you aren't trying to hide under it. (Sorry, I can NOT think of words today...) But yeah. I think you slightly misunderstood what Joyner meant.

I feel exactly the same way! I agree with all of that completely.

Thank you Leeli!! That was exactly what I meant. What I mean is, makeup is for enhancing you, not defining you.
@Leeli- Umm....Joyner? Is that my new name, or is that a typo? Sorry, I just think that's hilarious!!XD

Thanks so much, Kyoto! I looked up a few of the things you talked about, and I see what you mean about tape. We do have an eyelash curler, but I don't know if I'll really need it. Everything you said was really helpful, and I actually feel more confident than I did before!
