Define pretty

There are many reasons why a woman would choose to put make-up on her face. Usually it happens because she wants to be perceived as more beautiful and attractive. What is beauty after all? If 10 out of 12 like the way you look with make-up then... You are officially pretty?

Well you can't deny the power of make-up. Covering acne scars or just spots is a major benefit of that heavy foundation. Just like a decorative paint for your house walls, it gets the job done. The only downside with all of this "beautifying" process is what is left of you after you take it off. Inside.

Unfortunately I think it is wrong to put on make-up to get approval from others or to mask insecurity. If I were a guy on date... I would not like to smear my cheeks with illuminator and blush and taste that strangely sweet strawberry lipstick. I would just run for the hills the minute I would see a false eyelash dropping into the soup. But that's just me.

I would prefer a person comfortable in their own skin. Come on, we both know we are going to see those "I just got hit by a car" morning faces. Putting fancy powder over it won't make it better. And you won't have tic tac's near you all the time to hide that dragon breath and maybe you won't have fresh shaved legs all the time. We're people, not dolls.

I have found that using make-up as a way of being creative works much better than to use it as a cover up. I like to think of doing make-up as being a way of escaping reality. In a good way. In a way that makes me feel good even after I take it off. I now use make-up just in my artistic creations. I do not use it daily. I love my natural look more.

In this make-up look I wanted to go green. I loved putting small pink pearls to make the green pop. A little spring vibes were caught in my eyes. Although I can spend hours to do make-up on my liking, I am sure that the man that I would like to have around me will have to like me the most without it. And embrace the creative weirdo too. For me, that's what it means to be pretty: to be yourself.

Have a productive day and toodle loo!
