Make up: A powerful Tool

Since I was little, I was always fond of cosmetics.  I like how it can make my cheeks so red and glittery. I used to crash my big sister’s purse and play with her make-up products. I always volunteer myself whenever she wanted to practice or try a make-up she saw on a magazine.

Basically, cosmetics make me feel good and confident about myself even when I was still a little kid. As I grow older, I found more interesting things about make up.  A little creativity, and a wide range of imagination, you can create a very beautiful or a mess but magnificent work.

Halloween, just passed by and I saw a lot of incredible works online. One of my favorites is the “zipper” idea. I watched one of its video tutorials, and I can say as a non-professional it is easy to do, so I decided to copy it. But, I am too shy to post it, so sorry.  I posted pictures from the web that inspired me below.

 


There are also online bloggers that used cosmetics as their vehicle to success. My two favorites are KathleenLights and Michelle Phan. I like how simple their video tutorials are, they are easy to follow and not exaggerated. I even bought the book of Michelle to help me more understand the how to's of cosmetics. I understand that it is not just pigments of colors, some dust that you put on your face to add color and change your look.

Make-up is not just an accessory or an ornament that can enhance your appearance.  More than that, it can boost one self esteem, for some they make a living out of it. So next time, don't say it is just make-up, and although I believe that true beauty is in the eye of the beholder, there is nothing wrong in adding some pigmented dust on your face.
