Make-Up Opinions

I respect all opinions on make-up. I also understand you are self-conscience at times about your skin and prefer to look beautiful. Honestly, my opinions are opposite than most of your views and expressions. Truly, I do not wear make-up, but I used to so I could fit in with my fifth grade classroom. Sometimes, I think girls wear make-up because they want to look more ‘mature’ than others and have the acceptance of responsibility. I strongly believe there are other reasons why girls wear make-up but do not believe it is used for an excellent purpose. You can interpret your opinions and explanations in e-mail to me at green_slime_icecream@hotmail.com or you may reply to this article.

Emily, In my opinion, I believe all girls when young and immature feel the need to start wearing makeup once they hit a certain age. When I was in elementary school, girls started wearing makeup by Grade 6. This doesn't mean they're trying to age themselves or appear more mature. These girls simply are beginning to experiment with makeup (as, if you are intending to wear it, you must start somewhere) - but it is they're choice. Just as it is your choice not to wear it. And if they say anything to you for not wearing makeup, simply state just that. Generally though, the only and main reason for makeup is self-confidence. You can say, "to feel good, to look good", whatever... in the end, it's all the same - self-confidence. But do know, Makeup is not an enemy. Makeup is one of the best parts of being a woman. You get to beautify yourself ( no one saying it has to be for anyone else. Pampering yourself simply makes you feel good and beautiful ), and experiment with different looks. Instead of telling these girls, "why are you wearing makeup? you don't have to be wearing makeup. blah blah blah" Offer them tips of how they can tone it down. Simply say, "you look today. How about tomorrow you try just lip gloss and mascara." Offer them tips of how to tone it down, without knocking them for wearing makeup. Every girl at some point makes the decision to wear makeup or not.

The girls at my junior high school are filled with make up and I'm highly surprised there isn't a dress code for it. By the way, I wrote this article. My school goes up to the eighth grade and those kids are fourteen and younger. They've told me that they've felt immature and a way to look and feel mature would be to wear make up. I have tried to explain to them that maturity is more of the acceptance of responsibility and not the way someone would normally appear. A lot of the girls at my school follow by me because I look to be twenty some years old to them and I have the acceptance of responsibility as well. I look like a man half of the time and some say they wore the make up for me since they've felt I've put them down by talking about maggots and things of that sort. It is a major coincidence to see that the girls have worn make up to look mature rather than to use it like others would which would to be more confident. I am also aware of how the girls abuse privledges at these ages as well.

Honestly, I hate it when girls under the age of 14 wear makeup. Thats when they try to look more mature, but they really look trampy. My sister (going to be 13 this Nov) wears alot of make up, just like her friends and its really annoying and half of them cant even apply it right. I wear makeup all the time, but not to impress anyone. I just it, the way it can change the way you look with a simple application of eyeliner, mascara or anything else.
