As a lot of people think, makeup is an ugly woman’s best friend. Or so I say? From my point of view and from what I can see, people use cosmetics to look sexy. That is, if they use the material neither for wedding nor for any other purposes but to walk along the streets with their girlfriends or boyfriends on a daily basis. Or so I say? Maybe I was just so absorbed with my country girl lifestyle and didn’t know anything about makeup or rather, fashion.

Maybe I was living under a rock for sometime, but mind you, I have risen from ignorance. Or so I say? LOL. Watching Top Model might have aroused my interest, or merely seeing people with their glowing faces made me want to have the same. Whatever was the origin, I am now a believer of cosmetics.

I am now starting to search for written tips and videos on how to do the “natural look” and the “party look”. They will come in handy in the near future. I am especially focusing on how to apply concealer the right way. Applying concealer is crucial because everyone can apply it, but not everyone can do it properly. You need to put enough amount of it under your eyes and on the sides of your nose, then blend it well all over your face. Putting on eyeshadow is crucial too, and I think I need to get back to that. There are these layering I cannot seem to understand ‘cause there are thin layers, and there are dark layers. Then, I thought putting on eye liner was easy, but you need to control your hands so as not to mess up with your eyes. Lipstick/lipgloss is just a slide away. Colouring your eyebrows is optional, I think? And foundation? I need to get back to that as well.

Why did I start having interest on makeup, really? Because I want to look beautiful on the outside. I’m not getting younger. Knowing how to do it now will be a big help. And as Michelle Phan states on her YouTube page, her dream is “To help women empower themselves with this art, makeup. Believe it or not, you can transform your life with one lipstick. Women have stronger careers, future and self esteem when they feel confident and beautiful.” I want to at least feel beautiful, feel confident, and feel proud about myself.
