whats your opinion? Make up or Make down?

01 October 2014

Am opening up a discussion for you ladies Make up? Or Make down? There are both sides of the story, the good and the bad! Lets talk about it…

Starting with the BAD

Encouraging women who don’t believe to be beautiful is what I like doing the most, because I know exactly how it feels being discriminated on, being told over and over that I am not beautiful  especially with the scar that I have on my face, ending  with me believing that! Hearing such words on a constant basis caused me to lack a lot of confidence…

 But now that I have the opportunity  to talk to other girls/ladies about beauty I might as well go all out.

I have grown to notice that dark skinned women apply a lot of make up, having no idea why? Maybe it makes them feel more confident or it at least gives the impression that I can also be beautiful… let me tell you something there are people like me who have marks on their faces but still feel confident in themselves ,why would you being a dark beauty want to apply make up to look beautiful?

An African woman’s skin is the sun’s  shadow, an African woman’s skin tells others about  her inner beauty, the texture signifies oneness with yourself and the world.

It signifies completeness and self actualization, why cover all that up my dear?

The raw oils, the lines on your face were Purposely made…

I walk past you wearing this mask that makes the outside of you feel confident but leaving the inside of you crying without identity, longing to be real, hear me well Am not saying you are not real BUT YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL WITHOUT MAKE UP, MAKE IT DOWN!,

If you put it on; don’t let it take over you, don’t let it get to a point where when you don’t have it on you feel naked that is a no no!

Control the make up don’t let it control you! Remember YOU ARE A WOMAN YOU radiate beauty, it is in you let it out! Shine like the diamond that you are- Rihanna did not make a mistake by singing that SONG I  dedicate it to every woman out there, you are beautiful like diamonds in the sky.

However there is another reason why ladies MAKE UP…

I was talking to a friend of mine ASITHANDILE MASHALABA asking her what was her opinion: MAKE UP or MAKE DOWN? “MAKE UP! BECAUSE  IT GIVES ME A CONFIDENCE BOOST”-she said

I agreed with her because some of the ladies have been natural all their lives, some just don’t have the confidence to go with their natural skin or some have a problem with their skin like “eczema” and so putting make up is the only way to cover up all of that and it boosts their confidence.

Highly understood and truthful. —JUST A LITTLE bit OF MAKE UP GOES A LONG WAY IF YOU KNOW YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL BEFORE PUTTING IT ON-Lihle Dlova

What is your opinion? MAKE UP OR MAKE DOWN? Lets talk about this…
