The power of makeup

But maybe you can? growing up, i always thought make up was more of a white people thing.  i know that sounds crazy but most black women i was around did not wear make up except for special occasions.  it seemed like all the focus was on hair, clothes, and nails.  even when i became of age to go to clubs, a good number of females were bare faced in there aside from lip gloss.

Right like they wanna make themeselves feel better or something! oh well you need makeup too

I'm def not delusional.
I have gone to stores and they put makeup on me and yea, I looked better.. I just said that most could benefit so... Idk how I could be delusional.
But doin that to my face everyday is just not for me.
My skin isn't perfect (no acne/pimples but texture wise, it could be better) but yea I just don't feel like its necessary for me right now.
In the future Ill probably wear it.

But I agree with wonderland.. I don't understand all this low key shade and what-not over the comments from ppl who feel fine without it.
In all of these threads it's, "hmph.. She could benefit from some liner and mascara.."
But let that be about a weave or relaxed and its a problem

And that people probably form negative judgments about me based on the fact that I "don't care about my appearance" (according to them and their standards). But as long as I'm clean and comfy, I'm good.

I just threw that out there to see who responds.
