Satire About Makeup

I think I started in high school wearing it every day. Then when I had Melody 5 years ago I stopped. I wanted to be a role model and show her you don’t need to wear make-up every day. Besides being vein the make-up isn’t regulated well and is full of chemicals. So I was putting chemicals on my face that sit there and soak in all day! Gross! Now I hardly ever wear make-up. Last time I wore it was when I went to a bar/club with Mary, Vanisha and Tiffany to celebrate my birthday and end of the semester this last December. That was really fun, they are fun! I think when Melody is a teenager she’s going to wear make-up whether or not I do or don’t. But it saves me time and money not putting on make-up. I feel more real. I don’t need to wear make-up to make myself prettier or look better. And my time can be better spent doing something else more productive. There’s a ted talk about that I’m going to see if I can find it. I love ted talks. I feel like I am always learning from them. Haha I typed in “lady takes off clothes ted talk” and found it! It’s a good one, if you want to see it when you have a spare 15 minutes search, “The lady stripped bare Tracey Spicer.” When I used to go to stay at home mom meetup groups before nursing school, some of the moms would asking me why I don’t wear make-up? They would put on make-up just to go play at the park with their kids. But not a single person has asked me why I don’t wear make-up in nursing school! I

Historians believe makeup was invented by ancient Egyptians to enhance their outer beauty, however, the makeup used included lead that was known to be highly dangerous. Once the lead-based makeup was further investigated in the 20th century, it became a thing of the past. (“Color Them Extraordinary With a Makeup Career”) I believe that makeup artists have the ability to create anything out of anyone, and that they have a unique canvas to paint on; the human body. Applying and learning about makeup has been an interest of mine ever since I was little, and it only made sense to start looking into a career in the world of makeup artistry. Makeup artistry as a career interests me because I’d wake up knowing that my job for the day is exercising my creativity and help make others feel confident. If one is truly interested in makeup, this career never feels like a job. (Clark)

Even though I always look for ways to buck convention and societal expectations, I couldn’t ignore how scary my extremely pale skin and malnourished frame looked under the ghastly fluorescent lighting tailored to hair salons, so I gave in. As was pointed out to me, I was working in a job where appearance mattered, and mine was starting to frighten clients. With a few swipes of bronzer and mascara, clients were voicing their concerns less frequently, and the amount of prying questions died down. After some time, it became habit to apply more makeup when I felt worse, creating a thin layer between me and the outside world.

Now day's when you say you love make up it's because you want to look good for boys, or because you're insecure. My parents distinguish make up to be ostentatious, but in retrospect I use it to pop character into me.

I did my makeup on the bus, black eye shadow with mascara and eyeliner, then I outlined my lips in the new dark

Sometime people want to wear makeup that looks so that you do not wear it. First, wash your face with water, or cleanser. Moisturize your skin with tinted moisturizer and wait 3 minutes, then use pigment-rich concealer to hide dark circles and deep under eye circles. If skin gets shiny try to apply some powder with a help of blush. Try to put light brownish tint to shade eyelids. If you willing to use eye pencil make sure that it is soft grey or brown. To get good tint, choose a lipstick that matches the color of your lip. Mascara is very important even when you were natural makeup. Put mascara on lashes but if you want to make kind of distinguish between upper and lower lashes, put mascara only on upper

I applied some blush and highlighter before fixing my hair, glancing at my appearance in the mirror. It wasn't anything crazy, it looked natural, well besides my eyeliner. I smiled slightly, quickly putting on a nude, matte lipstick. I grabbed perfume, spraying near my collar bones and my wrists, rubbing them

If you want to make an impact then this is for you. Subtle eye makeup is may do that thing for some women, but others prefer something a more dramatic eye makeup look. It's so easy to create a glamorous eye look that can take you from day to night. Let's say you've got a busy day planned. Perhaps you are going to the office all day, then to a party directly after work. For your all-business look, do a neutral eye using soft brown shadow and a thin line of black liner on the top lids only. In your makeup bag, pack a charcoal shadow, shadow brush, black mascara and opalescent white highlighting pencil. Highlighting pencils are now available from many different cosmetic companies and provide a shimmery sheen to the skin.

Hey Everyone Happy Saturday! I hope you all had a great Saturday! For today's post I am going to share my thoughts about Kat Von D Shade+Light Contour Palette. I bought this in the haul that I did after christmas. I have to say that I had had a hard time finding good bronzers that were good for contouring. The ones that I had in my makeup collection were shimmery and after I would contour my face would look like one big sparkle. Well I had hesitated in buying this palette just because of the cost however I went to Sephora and swatched it and fell in love. This was back when it was fairly new. Just before christmas I almost went and bought it however I waited until after christmas just incase someone bought it for me. Well I didn't get it for christmas so when I went back into Sephora I Just knew that I would have to get my hands on it. I love this palette! The colors that are in it are beautiful! They are the perfect contouring colors. I love the bronzers. I use the first two colors of the bronzers the most, but I have used the darkest color a couple times. I have used the Highlight shades as well, But i'm still in love with Champagne Pop from Becca that Its hard for me to use anything else right now.

Before I began writing this article, I purposefully put on mascara. The reason being that if I cried, my mascara would streak down my face. Of course, nobody wants that. Crying is one thing, but ruining your eye makeup is altogether unacceptable.

The 80’s was definitely one of the most iconic periods of time. From epochal artists to fashion, it is remembered as a decade for expressing oneself. Conveying personality for all genders can also take form by the usage of makeup. Back during this time, cosmetics were taking a huge turn from the 60’s, with their pastel colors (“Women’s 1960s Makeup: An Overview”), and then from the 70’s, with a total ‘all or nothing’ look (“Women’s 1970s Makeup: An Overview”). The 80’s was a time for bright, unrestrained color. Bright blue eyeshadow and drawn on beauty marks were staples of the decade (Jordan). Fast forward around thirty years, and now makeup is still bright, but much more refined and applied in a more exact fashion. Although the 80’s were a big time for maquillage, makeup then was too garish, applied too haphazardly, and did not blend with each other (Denning).

When I first started wearing makeup, my mom told me that beauty is pain, but it was not until later on that I began to realize the scope of that pain extended beyond the times I would sneeze while applying mascara and accidentally stab myself in the eye.

Mascara? Yes, mascara is one of my totems. I can't live without it, I collect it, I love it. I am not a big fan when it comes to makeup, I just like the natural bronzer, blush, big lash look. Each tube of mascara in my photos is different in how it looks, feels, and makes me feel. I use one of them on a daily basis, another for a big night out, and that other one for a dramatic finish on both days. Mascara is fast, easy, and powerful.

In eighth grade, I started to have little breakout. Ninth grade, I got little dots all over my face and I hurt it. Tenth grade: I have little scars and cystic acne. I struggle with acne. I was insecure about going to school without something covering me. Until I discovered someone who inspired me to think otherwise.

David Sharp (DS): Dirty make-up brushes and contouring during the day. Leave it to the Drag Queens, there's no reason for daylight contouring unless for shoots or TV work. It looks ridiculous.
