Headings like this one have some truth in them. Makeup serves plenty of purposes. Sometimes, it supplies females with a sense of confidence or attractiveness. The equipment of makeup can reveal signs of refinement or care toward one’s appearance, which is not altogether a negative thing. In fact, it seems like standard practice for women to wear makeup whenever they attend formal occasions like weddings, or even when they go to school. Wearing makeup does not make ladies stupid, nor does it make them shallow.

But, like all things, there comes a time when excess leads to error.This is especially true regarding younger females, as the time they spend improving their physical attributes could be spent enhancing their mental abilities. Instead of worrying about how their mascara might run when things get rough, they could be focusing on how they might solve a societal issue when the world gets tough.

Don’t get me wrong, ladies should worry about their appearance. I’m sure that, to some extent, we all do; even guy. But the problem with this is paramount within young females, as they are becoming brainwashed by society from the start to value aesthetics over actual knowledge. I don’t intend to utilise absolutes, as I’m sure this is not the case for every female everywhere in the world, but lately it feels like more people are fawning over looks as opposed to intelligence or morals. When we approach a little girl at a party, we don’t immediately comment on her intellect – rather, we compliment her clothing choices or her hairstyle.

When was the last time a teen female celebrity was praised because of her brains, and not her beauty? I can’t recall Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, or Miranda Cosgrove garnering good remarks from the media for their smarts. It’s not like these celebrities aren’t smart, or that they aren’t remarkably talented – rather, I feel like sophistication is taking a backseat to sexiness and prettiness and all things visually pleasing.

Maybe that wasn’t the best analogy, because it isn’t Mo’cheddah’s job to be smart. Her job, as an artist, is to sing. But in this day and age, when young girls are texting from the age of three and wearing makeup and high heels before secondary school, role models with real brains and strong characters are absolutely necessary. Females suffer from society’s expectations when they are placed on pedestals of aesthetic perfection, and they are hurt when discussions about books are eschewed in order to make room for improving their outfits.

Girls, let me tell you something. Good looks can reel a guy into your circle, no doubt about it. But only a cultivated mind, prepped for clear and informed communication, will keep him there.

Boys, Should girls wear makeup? Why or why not?

Girls, do you agree? Why or why not? https://www.passnownow.com/?p=posts&id=3372

personally, i am not a makeup person. but having makeup is no big deal. the issue is having heavy one on or not knowing what type of makeup to use.

It is a personal thing. Some young girls are not into make ups. The others can not do without it.
It is not something people should cast votes on. It is personal, your own choice. You can decide to, you can decide not to. But if you decide to wear make ups and be a fashion lover, remember not to break the number one rule of fashion.

Surely, today isn't halloween.

Wearing of make ups is really no big deal among youngsters. The problem is that majority of young girls are morally decayed. There is a seventeen year old girl i know, she is a student of j.s.s 3. Would you believe that she is a sex-machine to a friend of mine, she even come to cook for him at home at times. Sometimes i just pity the little girl, cause when something goes wrong, she will be the one to suffer not the guy.

miteolu: Wear or Use make up

Actually, both are acceptable forms of saying it.

I think young teens (<16) should not use makeup..... Maybe 17 year old teens ...just my opinion.

actually your friend is equally culpable if not more "morally decayed" for being an older person and yet taking advantage of this young girl.

I like my gf in make ups, but she's prettier without it.

.

I actually wanted 2 say no but on 2nd thought I realised dat powder is also a kind of make up.
My 5yr old sibling rubs powder so my teenage daughter wil use make up(light make up nt excessive make up.)

Ofcourse they can.Why not?Its in teenage years that girls start to become very conscious about their looks & others start to suffer skin problems like acne.Makeup will therefore act as a security blanket for such as well as highlight their best features. Am all for it.

Comment of the year. If your girl sees this, she must give you 360 tonight. Hail her for me.
Just like my babe.

Please Observe The Following Rules:

2. Don't abuse, bully, deliberately insult/provoke, fight, or wish harm to any Nairaland member.

They can use make up as far as it doesnt take the place of developin their brains/studies nd doesnt take away their focus 4rm more important tins

Little or slightly make up is ok but too much make up which means gang banging your face with crayon is horrible

Wearing is no big deal to the girls who I like it.. But I prefer girls with natural beauty......

NICE SIGHT THOUGH

Na wa o,hw does wearin makeup affect ur mental ability.miranda, selena,taylor and all d celebrities that you mentioned are pple that have excelled in their chosen field due to their brilliance and commitment which is omething that require mental ability.Look I dnt really know if makeup affects some aspect of life negatively but it's just ur basis of arguement that wearing makeup affects ur mental capability as u made makeup sound like a day job that really drains time,energy and focus.
Baseline:A lady who is dull will be dull not because of makeup and not wearing makeup does not in anyway enhance your mental capability

No biggie if done moderately. make up is part of fashion....just like manicure and pedicure, so no wahala IMO

Just make sure dem no waka near our national assembly complex for Abuja o. Pedo plenty for there o

...not bad, even in pregnancy, an infant cann begin to wear make-ups
