Make up vs natural beauty?

Hey guys! Just wanna give my opinion on this topic: make up vs natural beauty?

This is gonna be a long post but hope you guys can spend 5 mins reading it :)

Well, I've read many many blogs... Some of the readers' comments to blog posts I saw were really nasty and demotivating. Like some bloggers are really trying their best to give us tutorials on make ups, and there goes the comments like : 

~Ugly. You don't have natural beauty.

~Make up edi still so ugly.

The first thing that comes into my mind is of coz... :O 'Why are you reading their blog in the first place?' like... Nobody forced you to read right? If it really offended you is some ways... Just click the [x] button and you don't havta see the ugly face anymore! But no! You just havta leave ur nasty comment and make other people's life miserable. Maybe you are jealous that she looks prettier than you! Maybe you are ugly yourself and worse, you are ugly inside out! -.-

So first of all... Natural beauty is of coz something that comes naturally. It's in your genes. You can't change it unless you go for plastic surgery. Some people are blessed with good features, beautiful face but some people (like me) are not. Like if you have a flat nose, then you have flat nose for the rest of your life. You have small eyes, then you will have it for the rest of your life. But is everybody gonna be satisfied with what they have? Do they wanna be prettier? Of coz yes! Please tell me anybody who wants to be uglier -.- so here comes make up that will save these poor fellers out of their misery.

I started putting on make up since form 3. Of coz before that I've been curi-ing my mom's make up and try them on when I was young. :P anyway, for me, make up is a tool to boost up my confidence level. I was always a self conscious person. I care about what people think of me, and therefore I wanted to be presentable. 

And yes, I look horrible without make up. I know people will be commenting like 'shyte! Her before and after make up look is so different! So fake!' But hey! That was why I put on make up at the first place no? And so to make myself happy, I often take it as a compliment that my make up skill is good~ *giggles* And some people will be commenting like 'Wahhhh!! Her make up soooooo thick!' Hello! If putting on eyeliner, mascara, foundation and a little blusher is thick for you, go look at those china opera show. THAT my dear, is what you call a thick make up. -.- 

Fine, i know that I'm no natural beauty. I know that well. I have Asian tapered eyelids, flat nose, broad forehead. I couldn't change all that without the help of make up. I didn't wanna stuck being ugly for the rest of my life okay? People need to change. They need to change they misperception on make up=faker. 

I have a question to ask. Who would you approach in a party/gathering/club/pub? A girl with make up, looking presentable (not referring to those with heavy make up, feather length fake lashes)? Or a girl who did not even make up to cover her panda eyes and looking like a zombie? Please don't lie. Anyone would go for the girl with make up. I know we often say : don't judge a book by its cover. But well, who doesn't? Please don't tell me like inner beauty is what you are look for. Hello?? If you look like a zombie -> nobody approaches you -> nobody get to know you -> they will never ever know how beautiful you are deep inside. (For the exception of school friends or colleagues of coz, because they already know who you are at the first place) 

I havta emphasise that I did not say inner beauty is not important. I'm saying that inner AND outer beauty is equally important. I'm not asking you to make up till your mom also can't recognise. But hey, I'm just trying to say a little bit of make up wouldn't hurt. Like just to conceal your imperfections? Maybe your dark eye circles, or blemishes, draw your hairless invisible eye brows (btw eye brows are really important okay. It will change your face shape. Like drawing straight Korean brows make you look innocent, humble and approachable :D ) and so on. 

In Japan, everyone look so decent and well dressed. For them, make up is a kind of respect. It's to show that you respect a certain person, or an occasion. As for me, make up is magic. Without make up, I look at the floor while walking. I don't feel confident. But with make up, at least I can walk looking front, and 抬头做人 lol, it feels magical that make up even changes my inner beauty which is my confidence :)

So pick up some make up and start practising right now! You don't wanna look like 如花 when you have a date/interview last minute just coz you didn't know how to make up but had to do it on your own.

Today's selfie~ :)

Thanks for reading. Xoxo :)
