Hello dolls,

Makeup is everywhere - you can't avoid it. Advertisements promise full lashes, glowing skin, and a gorgeous face. Makeup tutorials featuring literally dozens of products are common on social media. But is makeup worth the hype?

Personally, I don't wear a lot of makeup in real life. I don't have the time or the resources to cake on a full face of makeup every day, or even most of the time. I sometimes enjoy wearing eyeliner, mascara, and lipstick, but not much else. I only have mild acne that I don't feel the need to cover up, and the application of eyeshadow and blush will always be mysteries to me.

At the same time, my opinion isn't the same as everyone else's. I know people who can't bear to leave the house before their makeup routine is complete, and their looks are always flawless. Getting a new palette or trying a new technique is a thrill for them. The care they show in their makeup routine is almost like an art form. Then again, I also have friends who abhorr makeup, and wouldn't be able to tell the difference between an eyelash curler and a torture device.

There are all sorts of people when it comes to makeup, and I think everyone's choice is acceptable as long as it's their choice. If someone is wearing makeup just to fit in, not because they personally want to, then maybe that's not the right way to go. Do what makes you feel comfortable, and don't be afraid to try something new if you feel like it! Remember, when you feel beautiful, you are beautiful, with or without makeup.

Are you a makeup person?

Til next time!
