While sipping Twining black tea, flavored with mango and strawberry this morning, I reflected on the growing dependence, of today’s woman on makeup. From contouring, to plastic surgery, fanatic exercise and eating regime et al. All this, to attain the perfect peak of “beauty” for varied reasons, which may or may not stem from, self-esteem conflicts and end in one word “MAN”.



Dwelling on this Achilles’ heel of females, I recalled the words of Havelock Ellis “The absence of flaw in beauty, is itself a flaw”. This quote sums up most of my feelings on the issue.
That chin, jawline, broad nose, big lips, overbite, thin browns or round face, you are trying to cover or restructure with contouring and other beauty tricks, may just be the most appealing thing about you that draws the eye. What you perceive as a flaw, is perfection to someone else.



My question is “Why settle for commonality, by looking like a thousand others, than uniqueness by looking like YOU?” Don’t get me wrong, you can be adventurous with makeup just to switch up your looks but over-dependence on makeup is a character flaw or weakness that runs deep. Moderation is key!

Today I leave you with the words of Reverend Sean Parker Dennison “The ability to see beauty is the beginning of moral sensibility”.

Even paint don cost for market![i][/i]

I guess it's sometimes an issue of self-esteem... if you have something else to offer asides a fine face, so much time, attention and resources would not be invested into looking the way u think people want u to look. You would just look like u

Na so ooooo


Nothing dey happen

Haba! E never reach like that now

Lord have mercy

Makeup is not bad.

Girls be scamming guys since 18Bc ...

I know am not the only one who have noticed that excessive makeup...especially the one they call 'foundation' make young ladies look old! Why women have refused to see this or rather find the courage to refuse this thing is beyond me. For me, some makeups are for age enhancements and young ladies (worse on their wedding day), have no business coating their face the way they do!

Na who i go ask

You don't know what many women pass through just to make you appreciate them.

Do you think they are happy spending so much time, money, etc. on such an adventure?

Let's appreciate their effort.

I ve got no issues with make up, but when its too much, it becomes a turn off for me.

I once cancelled a date right at the venue when my gf appeared looking like a rainbow.

since that day she got to know that its either a moderate make up, or no make up at all..

but that's just me, I have no issues with those that use excessive make up cos its different strokes for different folks.


that heavy red lipstick really drives me crazy... it a no no for me

the rate our Nigerian girls do make this days hmm abeg guys make una be careful when toasting ooo cos fake plenty

end time tinz

If you're not proud of what you have, next option is enhancement, or upgrade. Men are guilty too.

hmmm

It transforms simple

Blacks(both africans and black Americans) are mostly guilty of this, compare to asians or Europeans
