[b]I have a colleague who is so pretty (or so i thought  ). She really makes heads turn u know. But just 2 wks ago, something happened. She came to the office for 3 whole days without any form of make up and  we just cldnt tell if that was the colleague we knew! Her lips were so black, her face so dull, no eye brows at all, not even a strand, her eyes looked scary. Her hair was without the usual weave-on and it looked so scanty! We all asked what the matter was, and she said she ran out of make-up and was waiting for us to be paid before she buys new ones. She said she had some old ones at home but she prefers her recent colors.
God! she was so so different from the pretty babe we all knew her to be. And infact i now knew i was 1,000 times prettier than she was because i usually admire her before this happened. But guess what! as soon as we got paid, the very next day, this lady came to the office looking 'take away' as usual, with nice weave-on and make up and even a new trouser suit to match oh
We all hieved a very big sigh of relief at least being spared of that ugly and terrible look because her looks for those 3 days really affected us oh!
So what do u think? how can u tell someone is pretty or not?[/b]

U can tell a beauty if without any make-up,she still looks very beautiful OR Take a closer look at a lady when she wakes up in the morning,some will look like a dragon,

its true,if you are fine without makeup, then you are fine. I have a friend too.Her eyelashes are always fixed,her nails always beautifully fixed, Her weaveon is always very long almost reaching her waist(i'm not exaggerating) and let down. She has permanent makeup on her eye brows, and her face is always beautifully made up.She's a makeup guru. She's always on high heels2.And People are always like she's pretty.

But I believe make up does wonders to beauty. Some people that u think they are not fine, by the time a makeup artist works on them,you wont believe your eyes.

Beauty through makeup is just an illusion.

when she wakes up in the morning that is how you will know either she is urgly or pretty.

gbam!

i believe people look prettier without make up, Thats what i call "Natural beauty'.
But if you know that you are not termed pretty by other people, enhance your beauty through your good qualities,
Then people will over look your outer to your inner beauty,

beauty comes from within

definitely one's natural look is the real standard for qualifying a person as being beautiful, the addition of make ups and other accessories make u pretty, attractive and so on. to know how beautiful a lady is get to see her without make ups and very early in the morning, or see her while sleeping without makeup.

I dont see why getting up in the morning is the standard, most people look tired and disorientated when they have just woken up, I would say if a person is pretty without makeup they are really pretty.

Pretty or no pretty can be determined on the face and not necessarily the other parts of the body. Someone with good facial structures, a well shaped eyebrow, a good nose and nice lips will defintely look good even without makeup now that's pretty.

thats not pretty, its called being artificial something nigerian women do 2 much !!!!!!!!!! all those skin bleachin stuff and the obscure layers of powder and the shaved and drawn erybrows and the crazy lipstick, it justy pisses me off. nigerian women outta be better than that

end of story!

see them 1st thing in the morning

[i][/i] Sum peeple even hav loads of make up on Der Face
Nd still duznt luk Bare preTTy

Beauty is from the inside. I one facial structure detemines how pretty. All make does is to enhace natural looks.

Beauty comes from within. . .that's great and all, but she's not talking about inner beauty.

In terms of the outer beauty, really it's hard to tell. Even Oprah looks pretty when she has make-up on, but when she takes it off I feel like it's proportional to how much make-up you use generally. The more you use, the less attractive you are without it. . .generally. Like if you look great with a lot on, then you will not look so nice with it off (or just look different, like less defined).

you decide

@ PTBnaija

outer beauty reflects inner beauty. You cannot be beautiful if you are either beautiful within or have reconditioned your subconscious to reflect beauty. Ether way ; beauty comes from within. Make-up may enhance but does not reflect beauty.

Beauty is a thing of the mind and not mainly the outward appearance
that is what we call THE AFRICAN BEAUTY it is natural

Well, there are women that people say are very gorgeous but have a bad attitude. . .are they not pretty as well? There are two types of beauty, inner and outer. One can have both, or one can have neither. And one is not a prerequisite for another.

Its true beauty comes from within but if U look like a monkey on crack in the morning,U might just be ugly.Make up or not!

May be hard to tell with make up and all
but one thing I know ARTIFICIAL BEAUTY is far much
better than natural UGLINESS

LOL
natural ugliness indeed!

Beauty means nothing to me

natural beauty goes well with people who're blessed naturally that is those who are beautiful with or without makeup;but what if u are not like that,uve got to 'make-up' for it after all thatz what its made for. its just to enhance ur beauty

chiogo:

ummm, u're pretty when u clean up nice and actually look nice, like for someone who wears make-up, after puttin' your mascara, lipstick, eye-liner and all that and actually look good, then, to me, u're pretty. That's real life for u. humans are not firewood and i don't think it's bein' fake to wear make-up or jewelleries, they just help compliment us. Even in the bible, Jesus gave some little children necklaces and gold to make them look nice so i see nothin' wrong in that. if u don't wear them now, when u get old, is that when u'd start doin' so?? nah, 'cause then there's no need for that. anyhoo, u're not pretty if after wearin' loads of make-up and it doesn't do a thin' for u. Now that's what i call u-g-l-y.

You sound like you are not safe without makeup
Beauty is natural. Have you seen a new born baby, looking so beautiful without any saclux textcoat, emulsion or oil paints in the name of make-up.

Prelude (2) to Grand Filnale
The last few days have taken me offline due to some personal obligations. Pardon my absence, please. The phony wedding of Carmelo to Catalina did not go without its accompanying drama. Gustavo attempted to stop the wedding at the registry but Sebastian advised him to let them be. After the wedding, Carmelo eventually released the documents of ownership of the Hacienda Ranch to Sebastian, as a ransom for 'buying' Catalina from him.

The truth of how Lupe was betrayed began to seep out. It was that desperate and calculating b*tch called Jessica, who stole the Will of Lupe from her father, Don Chuco's law chamber, and conspired with Carmelo to alter the Will, so as to dispossess Sebastian, in the hope that Catalina would leave Sebastian, once he became poor. She had hoped that with the new 'inherited' wealth of Carmelo, he would buy Catalina's love.

Carmelo's elaborate honeymoon plan to go on a yacht cruise with Catalina and Adela was canceled because, Marcelo called Carmelo to warn him that Lupe was proving too tough to handle. Carmelo gave a load of money to his disappointed mother-in-law, Adela, to go on a shopping spree in order to compensate her for the mysterious cancellation of the cruise. On the first wedding night, Catalina bluntly declared that she would NEVER allow Carmelo to make love to her because she would never stop loving Sebastian (and that was exactly how it went till the end) .

She said she would rather commit suicide than allow him to make love to her. She said that, why she agreed to marry him was because she wanted Sebastian and Martina to partake of their father's inheritance which Carmelo 'legally' hijacked (Oops! what a lame and foolish excuse).

Sebastian, with the help of Don Chuco, Alvaro, his lawyer and Romero, were getting very close to unraveling the kidnappers of Lupe. Carmelo got jittery and transferred Lupe for the umpteenth time, this time, to Catalina's penthouse. (part of the divorce settlement from Sebastian). Carmelo employed two snarling and mean-looking thugs as guards to keep watch over the Penthouse's storeroom to keep watch and prevent any busybody from gaining access to Lupe. He lied to Catalina and her family that the guards were keeping watch over his 'money', kept in the storeroom for him.

Emilia was surprised to see to see her lover-boy, Marcelo, driving a new Porsche car. He told her that Carmelo just bought it for him. She began to suspect that Carmelo and Marcelo may have been the kidnappers of Lupe. Marcelo later confessed to her, (as a proof of his blind love for her), that her suspicion was correct. However, Carmelo overheard him when he (Marcelo), revealed their deep secrets to his lover-girl (Emilia). Carmelo decided he would have to get rid of both Marcelo and Emilia before they reveal his secret crime to all.

Gustavo went foul of Carmelo, and his hired thugs beat him (Gustavo) up into a pulp, a beating that made him hospitalized. Catalina was afraid and called Sebastian to tell him the trouble she was going through in the hands of a potential murderer called husband. Sebastian told her that was the price she would have to pay for marrying for money.

She hotly denied it, and declared he was the only one she truly loved, and she decided to prove it by 'giving herself' to Sebastian and showing him that she was still a virgin, even after marrying Carmelo. She agreed with him that he would be her only lover, while she was still married to Carmelo. That one-time love-making eventually led to Catalina being pregnant with the child of Sebastian. A pregnancy that later stirred up the hornets nest with controversy.

One day, Catalina discovered to her shock that Lupe was hidden in the attic of the Penthouse's storeroom, kidnapped by Carmelo. He told her all what had befallen him in the hands of Carmelo and Marcelo. Catalina took a dare-devil risk by releasing him through opening the door. She later pretended that she did not know that Lupe was kidnapped, hidden or has escaped. (since nobody confided in her, in the first place). She later made a desperate call to Sebastian to tell him that Lupe has been found and was kidnapped by Carmelo.

The inevitable death of Emilia was tragic. She was caught in the crossfires between former allies- Carmelo and Marcelo. After the escape of Lupe, the two traded blames for their respective carelessness. Carmelo made up his mind to kill Marcelo to erase every living witness of his heinous crimes against Lupe and family. Emilia and Marcelo planned to run away from Mexico.

Marcelo also planned to kill his business partner, Carmelo. He planted a bomb in the ignition of Carmelo's car. Unfortunately for him, it was his lover, Emilia who snatched the car for her own escapade. But Escape she did, but to hell. As she turned the ignition, she exploded with the car into smithereens. Carmelo knew that Emilia took his place in the death that Marcelo planned for him. A perilous war broke out between Carmelo and Marcelo, something, or somebody must go for the other, but who? What became of Lupe, Sebastian, Catalina? The next prelude would determine that.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder, we cant judge someone based on their appearance because to u if u think someone is jus about hella ugly to someone else perhaps someone they love, they are as perfect and beautiful as can be.
