The Power of Makeup

The Power of Makeup

The power of makeup is not just a hot trend on YouTube, but it is a form of self-expression. Makeup has the power to change not just how an individual look but how they feel. Using makeup to change your physical appearance have been around for centuries. The power makeup has over the public will always change, due to the popularity of a certain trend or technic that is used in makeup.

 I was always around make up all of my life, but it did not make me a girly girl or as some call Barbie girl. Once I got to college, that all changed. I was tired of being seen as a tomboy or unfeminine to the people around me. I always been a plus size woman and social standards can be very demanding for the plus size citizens. I wanted to learn all I can do to change that. I started to ask around to all my friends that wore makeup and asked them all I could about makeup plus I even asked one of my friends' mom about cosmetics and brushes. I want to see what the power of makeup could do for me.

 One day one of my friends suggested that I go on YouTube and look up makeup videos and tutorials on how to apply makeup for different occasions. I started to look up videos and most of the video was from women who do not look like myself. I decided to look for videos that stared women that looked like me. I came across a video by MsCreativeDiva and I was hooked to her videos. I had to watch all her videos. I just couldn't stop watching them. Every day after school I would watch her videos, and after work and during lunch break I would watch her videos. I couldn't stop watching her and trying to do the same looks she was doing, yet it never looks like her videos but I keep trying.

The power of makeup has giving me the one thing that was buried way deep inside of me, and that thing was my confidence. Now I show my confidence even when I do not have on my makeup because of makeup I can pull it out with or without it. I also learn that sometimes somethings so simple as makeup can go you the power to pull something out of you that you didn’t know you had.
