Hey beauties! Welcome back to Creative Contour By Carla™! Today's blog post is a really simple one, but I want to break down this concept a little more to help you decide whether or not you should dive into the world of wearing makeup. There are an infinite number of reasons as to whether or not you should wear makeup, and it is deeply personal, whatever your decision is. However, as a makeup artist, I want to give you all my professional opinion.
Why you SHOULD wear makeup
Choice
As number one on my list, it should be your choice. You are making the decision for you. Wear makeup because you choose to!!! That's all, folks!
Self Expression
This one is number two on my list. I love using makeup as a form of self expression. There are so many fun makeup styles out there. After making the choice to wear makeup, find the makeup style that best suits your most authentic self!
I know I personally love a pretty good glam myself! Sometimes I lean towards a soft glam, other times, I lean towards a heavy glam!
Finishing Touch
Yup, you read this right! It's the finishing touch to your personal style. I strongly believe every person should have their own personal style as part of their self expression. It truly does not matter what that is, as long as you look as good as you feel!
Lifestyle
So those of you who have been following me from the beginning know that I am all about fitting makeup into your lifestyle in the way that suits you best! By deciding to wear makeup, you will find the best makeup style that fits into your life style. It truly doesn't matter where or how. Some of my beauties like wearing makeup daily; others save it for a special day; some do both (yours truly included in this one). All options are valid!
Why you SHOULDN'T wear makeup
Obligation
When I say this, beauties, I mean it. If you are feeling obligated to wear makeup, don't do it! You won't feel good, and people pick up on that energy easily when we are not being authentic.
If you don't want to wear makeup, I am the first person who will tell you not to do it!!
Financial Burden
This one is real. I know that some folks just cannot handle the financial burden, whether it be temporary or not. Makeup is a regular investment every year.
Time Investment
Makeup takes time: to learn, to apply, to research. If you feel that you cannot make the time investment in makeup, then makeup isn't for you! And that is 1000 percent okay!
Authenticity
If wearing makeup does not feel authentic to you, than maybe it is not aligned. It's best to understand this when making your decision. Do what feels most aligned and authentic for you, beauty!!
And the final point here, just because I love makeup myself, does not mean I am forcing others to wear makeup. I love all things makeup and want others to, as well! But, I also only want you to love it, so if it's not aligned for you, that's okay! I have met plenty of people who admire makeup from afar, and do not dabble into wearing it whatsoever. I love encouraging everyone to have their own full autonomy!
Beauties, on this note, we are done with today's discussion! I hope you are enlightened and this helps you make a decision!
Lots of love and lipstick,
Carla
