Makeup Linked to Self-Esteem

 Makeup Linked to Self-Esteem

It is a highly debated discussion and in fact New York Times recently posted an interesting op-ed debate on whether makeup is good or bad for a woman’s self-esteem ( as quoted by birchbox.com). Makeup lovers say that they overall feel highly appreciated, confident, presentable and loved by their peers when they wear makeup. It empowers a lot of men and women and raises their self-esteem.

Makeup can actually transform a person. If used with proper tools & techniques it can be a source of extreme makeover for men and women. This is a reason that wearing makeup for most of us is now becoming a part of our daily routine. Getting your dark circles covered, pigmentation hidden or redness corrected is now considered essential steps in applying makeup.

However, for some of people it becomes obsession as one try to feel they do not look good without it. This could be a troublesome issue for many people who loose their confidence and tend to appear less-attractive when they are not wearing makeup. 

In my opinion, as a makeup artist, i understand the significance of looking beautiful and the role makeup plays in it. To fit in this society and look equally good as others, one has to incorporate makeup. But only do whats needed. Applying unnecessary layers of concealer or foundation on your skin if you do not need it is in long term going to harm your skin. So, stick to the demands of your face and try to skip whatever is not needed on daily basis and put all the efforts on occasions like parties, weddings, events or date nights.

Self-esteem should be in your character, skills & abilities. Feel confident in who you are. Have fun doing makeup but do not let it feed your insecurities.
