Make up.

Why oh why must girls now a day’s wear so MUCH damn make up! Honestly sometimes I find it to be awfully disturbing, sometimes even a bit repulsive. It’s not that I think these particular girls are ugly in any way, because honestly I can’t even see past that Betty Crocker frosting everyone seems to be wearing.

You know what, I’m not even sure what scares me the most about girls who wear makeup. The fact that they look like 50 year old male clowns or the fact that half their face comes off every time they use a napkin. I mean there is sooo much beauty in every single girl, yet some decide to hide behind a mask. Do they feel uncomfortable? Pressured by society? Why must they wear that fake face? It is not attractive in any way! Seriously it looks like someone smeared a birthday cake all over your face. These girls wearing makeup make it so much harder on girls who don’t, and it becomes a vicious cycle. So now these girls who don’t wear makeup feel they have to wear make up to try and compete.

Personally I think that girls are much more beautiful naturally, and I’m willing to bet that so does every other guy out there. Girls that wear this disturbing “facial mask” appears to be two faced; people or maybe just me see her as a fake person probably full of other lies that aren’t as visible. The problem is that the media creates this image of a flawless Aphrodite like babes that all girls feel have to live up to. But in reality it’s impossible because she too is fake. It appears that girls think make up will do some sort of miracle on them, they constantly abuse it and take it to a whole new level. It’s as if they looked at Nikki Minaj for their inspiration: big bright colored lips, layers and layers of foundation, and finally hair bumpetts to give you that watermelon sized head look.

Those girls that overdue it with the makeup should know that no one finds it attractive, it’s one more thing that people will make fun of them for, and that it’s not surgery, therefore it won’t do any miracles.
