pandora's box

A simple blog that pens down my thoughts and happenings, without fanciful photos or sophisticated wordings.

From time to time, i'll come across guys asking questions like "Why do girls put on makeup?" or passing comments like "Natural is beauty..i prefer girls without makeup.." As of now, i still can't come up with the right word to describe this group of people..
To me, the reason why girls put on makeup might be the same logic as why u guys choose to iron your shirts before wearing them, or why u might wana gel or dye your hair..the reason is this: Coz you want to look better/more presentable! It doesn't hurt to make a pale face look healthier/more radiant with a quick swirl of pink blush, cover an angry looking zit or two with clever application of concealer, brighten a pair of droopy eyes with careful application of eyeliner, or make chapped lips more kissable with some lip balm and a dab of pretty gloss.. Some history lesson now: Cosmetics have been around for decades. Egyption queens make their eyes look more attractive by using kolh pencils to line them..If cosmetics do not enhance the beauty of women, or do not help to cover their flaws, big cosmetic houses like Chanel, Dior, Estee Lauder etc. wouldnt be around anymore..
Perharps i should say that i agree to a certain extent of what u guys say about natural is beauty..If a girl can face you naturally without hiding her real personality, and if she doesn't act like who she isn't infront of you, that is what i'll call beauty. Definitely not girls who face the world with her bare face, when she can put a little more effort to make the world see a better looking face of hers.
Perharps guys who made the above comments might have been "terrorised" by girls who put on too much makeup, or girls who ended up looking worse with makeup..If this is so, it's just a matter of these girls grapsing the right techniques and skill, that's all! Don't penalise them due to their lack of techniques or skills, instead, see them from a different point of view..Their intention is to look better, cover up their flaws, or simply, to boost their confidence and make themselves feel better..What's wrong with that? Due to this, it shows that they care. Infact, i feel that they deserve more respect than their sisterly counterparts who chose to face the world with their bare faces, even during days where they literally look like zombies after a bad night of sleep..
Thus, guys, if your dream girl is one who do not fancy putting on even abit of make-up, you better go find this poor girl a social ettiquette instructor! If not, she will go running off to meet her future boss or prospective client with her bare face! (Which is almost vulgar in the corporate world, even if she is wearing her best suit!) However, forget my suggestion if she aspires to work in a factory or as a hawker.

Like what you see here? Congrats! Do buy your g.f. / dream girl a pretty lip gloss to start with!
Don't like what you see here? You need someone of a higher calibre to enlighten you further in the subject of cosmetics..However, (don't leave yet! I'm not done with you!) one last piece of advice! Don't, and i mean DON"T allow your bride to go bare face on your wedding day! ( Yes, i know she looks fantastic like that!) but she'll be a laughing stock amongst the congregation of close friends and relatives! And she'll hate you for not telling her about this particular entry of mine..after being forced out of the corporate world by her boss, and ended up being laughed at on her big day..This poor girl who doesn't believe in the power of cosmetics might just end up being your personal home maker..
Enough said!
Till then,
Wise'n Up!
