Whether I’m wearing lots of makeup or no makeup, I am always the same person inside.
-Lady Gaga
As a child up until about 7th grade I would consider myself to had been a tomboy with girly qualities. I never wanted to put on a dress, wear dressy shoes, heels, get my hair done, and not even thinking about makeup. As I got older from high school on out, I believe I fell more into wanting to get dolled up. So makeup was a big part of that right. I soon became interested in buying foundation, and eyeliners, mascara etc. I liked doing my makeup to an extent and now, I almost wear it everyday. I personally don’t feel bound by makeup because I still go out without it. Another part of me wants to always wear it for the extra confidence boost because its insinuating. But here is where the real problem is; when is it overboard and no longer only insinuating but more trans-formative.
Society now gets on women for wearing too much makeup or making themselves look different from their natural look. When I am around my dad, boyfriend, or brother its always the “ohh she is wearing too much makeup” judgement. Many are now concerned they won’t know how someone really looks. But should that be the main concern and why is it this way. I feel society puts pressure on women to look a certain way. People now go out their way to have a certain look and to still be judged.

I have a friend that will not go out in public or even want to be around certain people without her makeup. I think she is bound by her make up because she will not even go to a gas station and pump gas into her car without make up on. If she has to go an atm at night where there is virtually nobody around, she feels that she needs to wear makeup because it is a major confidence booster for her. I do agree with you that society has now almost shifted and we now focus and criticize women who wear too much makeup. It’s like we cannot make up our minds about which beauty standards do we value most as culture.
I think this is sometimes a no-win situation. The unfortunate factor is that people are going to judge. Whether it be because sometime didn’t try hard enough to look good or they tried way too hard. As corny as it might sound, the only important factor is how you feel about yourself when you walk out the door.
I definitely think there is a fine line between being bound to makeup and just wearing if for yourself. I have a friend who wears makeup everyday at all time, I can’t remember the last time I saw her without makeup and to me it seems like she is bound because she is afraid of even her boyfriend seeing her without it. But I don’t think I get to judge her for that either, if that’s how she’s comfortable then what’s the harm? It’s hard, especially with society trying to dictate how we look at all times.
People who lack experience with makeup usually have no idea just how much work it takes to create the “no makeup” look. And when they find out, they’re critical of the time “wasted” on it, yet turn around and sneer at women who are wearing “too little” or “too much” in their opinion.
I really admire femme folks who can turn their faces into works of art. I’ll just be over here playing with my tropical fish eyeshadow like a five year old.
