Let's Wear All The Makeup!

Dear Fabulous Readers,

As I was sitting here applying my makeup and getting slayed for the day (nowhere to go but clean the house), I was thinking about the reason I do this. Why WE do this. I asked myself to impress others? To gain the attention of our male counterparts?? To be accepted by society? NO! None of those things are the reason I choose to wear makeup. Or to wear weaves, braid extensions or anything I feel makes me feel beautiful.

I do it because it's apart of who I am and how I express my individuality. My makeup and weave doesn't define who I am as a person, it's just an extension of myself that I share with the world. And have fun doing it. I love trying new things with my makeup and being creative. I am not creative in other art, like painting, drawing, sculpting, cake designing, dress making, but doing makeup is where I feel I can be the most creative and express myself. 

You know what I find the most funny? When someone says girls/women wearing makeup is 'false advertising'. Umm, how? I would love to have been born with glitter eyelids, but the way it is, I have to apply it. I don't understand what I am supposed to be 'advertising' and what you're mad at that you don't see lol. I don't get it.

I think most women know they don't NEED makeup to look and feel beautiful. We wear it because we are already proud and confident in who we are. And no, I don't need to wear "just to enhance". If I wanted to look the same when wearing makeup, I wouldn't wear purple lipstick! 

So all in all, what's the conclusion? Ladies, continue to be fabulous and don't let people stop you from expressing yourself and your art. And all you naysayers, leave us alone! We like what we like, we love what we love, and that's a matte lippie on sale from Sephora. Or a glowing highlight so the Gods can see us. 

Ciao my loves,

Samantha
