Make-up or No Make-up

Hello Rebel Roses,
    Since we have our Mother’s day event coming up very soon, which includes make-up tutorials and exploring make-up a bit I thought I’d talk a little about make-up today. There's a lot of pressure on women regrading makeup and whether they wear to much or not enough. Makeup plays a major role in a woman's life without even realizing it. This is a post for everyone, whether you wear make-up or you don't, that does not matter here and should not anywhere else!
   Growing up I never felt like I needed to wear makeup, and I still don’t think I need to wear makeup. And when I say that, it doesn't mean the same thing as I think I`m so pretty or perfect that I don't need it. No, I have as many insecurities about my body, my colour, my acne, my face shape and etc, as the next girl, exactly how the media wants us to feel about ourselves. (Which is so bad I know. Everyone says don't compare yourself, your fine the way you are. But media, pictures of women a certain way, one way, are posted everywhere all around us. How do I not feel that way. How do we as women not feel that way when we are not being fairly represented and are treated or are looked at differently because of it. But that's a different conversation for a different day.) I just feel that makeup isn't gonna hide my insecurities even if it does physically. So why should I keep using it as a medication when it doesn't work and just stresses myself out. Makeup plays a very important role in many people's lives, we just have to make sure how much and what kind of importance we are giving it and if it's healthy. Also there are billions others who don't even care for it, and that is a thousand percent okay and should not be pressured on to by nobody. And that's that same vice versa, nobody should stop or start or feel guilty or feel insulted or whatever it maybe because they do or do not where makeup. Because there are a billion people on this world who do not think the same. Because one rude human (feel free to substitute the word human with whatever word you like.) might be like why do you cake your face, while another human might be like, why don't you wear some makeup, you would look so much better, more awake. WELL HU-MAN, I don't need to give you a why! Why do I have to give you a why! Who even are you! Stop speaking to me! Get away from me! The End.

    You do you boo! Makeup should be for yourself. Its an accessory, not a necessity. Another way to adorn yourself. I did do a little bit of makeup for really big events when I was younger, my aunt actually always did it for me. But the people I surrounded myself with, actually did a really great job making me feel and allowing me to feel comfortable in my own skin and that I didn't need any outside objects or materialistic things to feel that way. If I ever wanted a bit of eyeliner or blush, Id just go to my aunt and she wouldn't mind. No one stopped or forced me and I am very grateful for that because I know that a lot of people do not have that kind of freedom to decide for themselves. It was during my high school grad year when I become more interested with the whole process and concept. It became more like a talent that I wanted to acquire. There's so many ways, techniques and colours to decorate yourself with. Everytime I do my makeup, it's like an experiment. I'm like a scientist! I try to find new ways to define and embrace my features. There is nothing to hide in this experiment, like there is no highlighter on if it isn't blinding someone. I'm here to shine bright like a diamond not to blend in.  Its how much more I can bring out and show to the world than to conceal and hide away. Its it's your skills, the way you paint yourself that builds confidence, not just the finished product but the work put in that makes you feel pretty, or sexy or bad ass, however you want to feel.

    And can I also just point out that makeup and hair and accessories and other ways that we adorn ourselves allows us a chance to bond with so many women and men around us and around the world. I see doing makeup as an activity more than a hobby but that's different for so many people. And during that activity, you have another opportunity to talk to your friends or family and share with each other. It something that is so versatile, being used by people of all race, culture, status and ages all around the world and used in so many different ways. It can connect you to people not only around you but from across the world. It also can bring people around you so much closer. Makeup gives you the control to look how ever you would like to look like, whether its for a very special day and or for everyday.
For many people makeup is a luxury, many also don't know how to use it. Like I watched a gazillion youtube videos before and after getting into makeup. I just mean say that it does plays a role in a women life whether you wear it or not. I just think its something fun to do and that it shouldn't be hated on for whatever reason. And that reason should not be projected onto people who do where it and vice versa. It shouldn't be used as weapon to hurt someone. It should just bring a smile to a women face.

    I really hope you Roses enjoyed my post. And thank you for taking the time to read it and putting through yelling. I know i'm preaching the choir but spread the word, give out compliments. If someone's wearing 7 layers, you can bring the chips. And this is not only for your friends, don't forget compliment your aunts, grandmothers and your mother(s). They are like every women who want to feel beautiful and sometimes we forget to remind them that they are. Our Mother's Day event, called Shower of Roses is coming up on the 27th of May. It's an opportunity to bond with the powerful women in you lives, Roses. I know, Im sneaking this in like a little human but its a chance for your mother and or to try makeup and learn to some techniques. Give your mother or grandmother or aunt or friend to take control if they never had the chance before. There will be two makeup tutorials, professional photographer, amazing vendors, free mendi, a chance to mingle and connect, a cash bar to relax a little and food. You can find out more about the event our home page, the tickets are there as well. I hope everybody has an amazing day, thanks for your time and feel free to comment below.
Love Always,
​
