Black African and Female: Makeup Anyone???

Enjoy!!!

Why do women wear makeup??? That would be a billion dollar question, as no two women can give you the same answer as to why they wear makeup.

When it comes to makeup everyone has an opinion about it; how much makeup you wear, whether you should wear makeup or not, or even what we consider or call makeup.

However as much as we all have our preference, our views and opinion on Makeup , we should also respect people’s choices and realize that makeup plays many different roles in every woman’s life. Every woman has her own special reason for wearing makeup, whether it’s to feel more confident, highlight her features, express herself, experiment with looks or just been creative or having fun.

As a matter of fact, women wear makeup for a different reason every single time. She could decide to look like she just rolled out of bed with a no makeup, makeup look, or go for a smoky eye in a night out with friends , or even decide to go for a sultry eye with a bold red lips for a date night with the boo. All these are the different ways women choose to express and wear their personality using the creativity of makeup.

Let's take a look at different scenarios below…

· To those who say “You look ugly without makeup”

It’s not that deep bro! it’s the same face with or without makeup

· To those who say “Why do you even wear makeup? You don’t need it.”

Even Beyoncé wears makeup .. (lol)

· To those that say “I only wear lip gloss and powder , I don’t wear makeup”

New flash boo! You do wear makeup!

· To those who wear makeup to impress a man

Girl!!! Don’t bother because that man can’t even tell the difference between your natural lips and that expensive Mac’s Ruby Woo lipstick you saved for months just to buy.
