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.
