Beauty – Makeup – Intimidating?

The question should really be; why don’t we all wear makeup? I think it’s funny to hear women hate on each other, and I say this with all honesty because I used to be one of them.  You see, I was the kind of person to hardly ever wear makeup and I admit that I felt intimidated by women who did.

Beauty is intimidating, there is no denying that! Both women and men can feel intimidated by a beautiful woman. It’s not that she wears makeup or how bold she wears it. It’s not her body, shape,  size, or the color of her skin.  In reality it is HER POISE that stands out; She carries herself with pride, she is confident and she owns it!

So let’s rewind for a bit here.  Are you a hater? Have you spoken the words or uploaded a meme on fb that said something like:

“I don’t need a cake on my face to look good!” or my ultimate favorite

“wait till he takes her swimming!”

Ladies, Ladies, Ladies there is no need for all that because you know that when no one is around, you pull out your secret makeup bag and play! You know you watch makeup tutorials and follow @anastasiabeverlyhills and @hudabeauty on IG…

• Girl!!! Shake it off and embrace that beauty inside of you!
• Makeup was made for a reason, use it, play with it, and fall in love!
• Stop comparing yourself to others, relax and focus on yourself.
• Nothing would be the same if you didn’t exist, and that woman that you hated on so much could just be your next BFF! Just maybe for that same reason she feels  alone and is needing someone to talk to.

The struggle is real ladies; we women have created a rivalry where we could have created something beautiful. So I challenge you to wake up and wear makeup, YES, and next time you see someone that brings out that hater side of you hand them a compliment instead. “I love your makeup” “Those shoes are HOT girl” “Nice outfit” When we hate on others we are really just putting ourselves down and stating the obvious, that we feel inferior to others.  By X-ing out that negative thought and sharing a compliment you are also healing that emptiness or dark hole inside of you. So try it even once and you will see that instead of walking away and rolling your eyes – like whatever- you both will walk away with a smile on your face.
