Make Up Inquiry

Posted in Uncategorized at 9:04 am by Miracle ♪♫

Why make-up?

Is it an endeavor for beauty?
What is beauty anyway? Artificially luscious red lips? Framing one’s eyes azure? Having Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” plastered on our faces? (Oh, please, we have canvases for that.) Not to mention glitter… on human skin? It is unthinkable!

Is it for concealing?
Concealing what exactly? Our actual selves? Who we truly are? Yet at the same time we ironically plead to be loved for who we “really” are?
(Alright, disguising a pimple on a significant occasion, I can forgive.)

Is it to feign age? Well, I can be lenient to menopause-ing women who are barely in their right minds. As for younger women, make-up does help us feign age… instead of being in our twenties, we can actually fool people to thinking we’re in our teen thirties!

Is it to become sexually attractive?
To secretly wallow in delight if we cause a man to drool? To make legions whistle at our sight so we may act annoyed but sincerely flattered inside? Goodness, why make-up to simply become live baits and end up terrified if a man eventually seizes bait?!

I am concerned at the realization that make-up has emerged as a subtle and crafty drug that has countless women addicted. They are enslaved to this devious material that many even become immobilized and unappeasable without it.

So… why make-up?
Christen me Weird, but I behold the most sublime mortal beauty in a pure sleeping face and during a person’s first waking moments… that’s physical beauty in its best. Raw… unstained… unmade-up.
