Why do people think collecting makeup is a bad thing? Today I was talking to my boyfriend about making another online order because I want a new Summer Lorac palette, he said it's pointless. I guess he thinks I have enough makeup and it's not something I should collect. I just don't understand how poeple can't get it in their head how makeup is a great collective choice. For me it makes me feel happy, girly, young and sophisticated. I love sitting in my makeup room and browsing through my makeup. I feel like the hour I get ready in the morning is my happy time and my makeup makes me feel like a grown and beautiful woman.
But I guess it's not the same as shoes, purses, jewelry or clothes. No, too much makeup is considered childish and odd. I mean who has 15 concealers and 30 blushes. A woman like that must be full of insecurities and problems. The truth is, it's artistic and beautiful. Creating a beautiful canvas and chiseling out your facial structure isn't considered art in the average persons eyes. Cut creases and graphic liner isn't art, it's just odd makeup. Even if we're not "artistic" with our makeup, that doesn't mean we don't deserve the right to collect it just because we only love it. Makeup is thrilling. It's like Christmas when a new haul is waiting on the door step. I don't wear it because I think it makes me pretty, I wear it because the makeup is pretty. Scratch that, it's breath taking!
Men say we do it to impress them or to hide our true selves. I say we wear stunning makeup because that's how we express our ourselves and show who we really are. Our beauty starts from within and we let it blossom through the art of makeup.
Anyway, today my boyfriend said when I buy makeup it doesn't make him happy. Well you know what, it makes me happy and I'm going to continue doing it. It's my expression, my get away, and it's a part of me that's not going away. You're going to have to burry me with my favorite lipstick when I die. I'm just that committed.
