I’ve recently read an article titled The Real Reason Why Women Wear Make-Up on vahooo.com, and I was amazed at how deep the blogger goes in describing an action that comes natural to many women nowadays: wearing makeup. I’ve talked about this already on my other blog, Honey-Babe.net, and I shall repeat it here as well: the author of the article and I share a point of view, which is: modern women mostly wear makeup to conform themselves to and idea of artificial beauty advertised by nowadays media. What people don’t understand is that this is manipulation, and that we should do our best not to let anything step over our freedom and our true selves. Wearing some makeup to feel good is okay and it can be beneficial to our self-esteem; too much makeup, so that we can’t even recognize ourselves in the mirror, is acting, it’s pretending to be something we aren’t, and it can hide a deep sense of inadequacy to the world we live in. I guess there’s enough for a week of reflection and a discussion between psychologists.
