Imagine being born, only to live a life of torture. You are brought to a lab, and cruelly tested on against your will. Toxins poured into your eyes, painful injections to your skin, then left to die when you’re no longer useful. Although many do not realize it, people use products tested on animals in their everyday lives. For girls, many of your favorite makeup brands, such as Estee Lauder, Makeup Forever, and Maybelline take part in animal testing. Products such as toothpaste, cologne, deodorant, laundry detergent, razors, and even band-aids aren’t tested innocently, either. As a makeup enthusiast, I am passionate about how the products I use daily are tested. Today I will help you understand what animal testing is and how it started, how it’s currently affecting animals around the world, and what organizations are doing to help make a difference in the future. To begin, I will explain the history of animal testing. An animal test is any scientific experiment or test in which a live animal is forced to undergo something that is likely to cause them pain, suffering, distress, or lasting harm.(https://www.crueltyfreeinternational.org/why-we-do-it/what-animal-testing) Animal experiments are not the same as taking your animal to the vet. Animals used in laboratories are harmed, not for their own good, and usually killed at the end of an experiment. Animal experiments include injecting or force feeding animals with potentially harmful substances, exposing animals to radiation,

Makeup: a cosmetic used to make women feel confident. As so it seems right? Covergirl, one of the top selling makeup companies, advertises this idea to both young and older women. Covergirl has been using advertisements to assist in selling their makeup products since 1960. Many women struggle with self-confidence and self-image. Makeup is a quick and effective way to help a woman make her feel temporarily beautiful. The main point of each Covergirl advertisement is to encourage that the use of Covergirl makeup will make women feel beautiful or confident. Ann Marie Britton (2012) stated “By placing photo-shopped and computer-enhanced models in advertisements, society has built up impossible standards of beauty, which has led to feelings of inadequacy among women.” (p. 2)

Because the creams and powders come in dainty cases and tubes with different brushes, makeup can be applied in a certain way with certain tastes and styles. As an instance of this, each Sunday morning, when I prepare for churchgoing, my makeup bag appears on my dresser, ready to add some flare to my features. Usually, I prefer a natural, fresh look: a bit of length added to my eyelashes, a creamy colored eyeshadow, brushed on with a light hand, and a small amount of facial highlighting. There does, however, come a time when I feel a bit more daring. The makeup bag, once again, appears. Occasionally, I enjoy adding petite eyeliner wings to frame my brown eyes, darker shades of eyeshadow, and a swipe of dramatic burgundy lipstick for a more distinguished pop. Taylor Swift's red lipstick could serve as another example; It has become her own iconic symbol. Several of her songs, both in videos and lyrics, sing of how she has “got that red lip classic.” In a way, this crimson hue packs a punch, announcing Swift's strength and independence. Not only can makeup be used to state confidence, but also as a this-is-me

As a result, makeup may seem ordinary and unimportant; however, close evaluation of its presence in the lives of Americans

“As a society, we seem unable to decide whether true self-esteem lies in accepting one’s lumps and rolls or in managing to achieve the discipline it takes to get rid of them” (Brand, 2000, p. 31). It states that achieving the true self esteem or to gain reasons to make your self-esteem higher, people will decide if they will accept all your flaws as a person to be comfortable in everything you’ll do or in the opposite way you have to do something to make them feel you deserve to exist and you deserve to be confident. This is where make-ups or cosmetics entered the life of a woman as the majority of people define beauty in the outside appearance.

What does Colgate, Band-Aid, Tylenol, Kleenex, L’Oreal, Gillette, Ziploc, and Ben & Jerry’s have in common? They all are companies that test on animals. Animal testing has been a routine process mainly in the cosmetic industry, among others, around the world since the time of the ancient Greeks. Not only is this practice inhumane, but it is also thought to be ineffective by many researchers and scientists. More than half of the tests that are performed on animals have different reactions on humans, and innocent animals are unnecessarily put through cruel treatment. Animals do not deserve to be used as subjects for research work or product testing.

When a person puts on make up, they are unifying their personal identity. If we all put on foundation, mascara, eyeliner, and lipstick then we all would look the same.

On July 2015, a popular beauty Youtuber named NikkieTutorials shared a video about the “power of makeup.” She stood up to the makeup critics who claims that women only wearing it to impress men or hide their insecurities. In response, Nikkie decided to make one half of her face “full-on flame” and leave the other half “raw, unedited, nothing, me.” Since then, other women who have been inspired to share their love for makeup start posting similar photos of their own half made-up faces. Makeup is universal and it is used by women and men who want to look pretty all over the world. It is an enjoyment for them to become prettier instead of a thing they need to be shameful for.

Makeup: what is the point? Most women enjoy putting on their makeup for special occasions, such as weddings, dances, or nights out, or their day-to-day normal life, but no one knows the true purpose of makeup. Sure we use foundation and concealer to cover up blemishes, but why not celebrate and embrace the fact that we are humans and humans have acne? Wearing makeup for the purpose of covering up acne and imperfections are not the only reasons women wear it. They enjoy feeling beautiful and confident, being more attractive, and because they just enjoy putting makeup on.

Those who are fond of using make-up probably know how I feel. A person wearing make-up can affect the way they feel, but can their make-up affect others around them?
