Most people will without a doubt agree that makeup is amazing. Why? Well, because makeup can seriously transform our appearance. And while some people may preach that we should love ourselves as we are, there is nothing wrong with hiding our imperfections when we feel like it and nothing wrong with highlighting the features that we are most proud of.
In fact, makeup can help us feel more confident in our own skin which is perhaps the reason why it is so popular. It's also probably the reason that most girls wear it on a daily basis. Yes, daily. Someone don't feel comfortable stepping foot out of their house without makeup. Makeup can help us hide our blotchy red skin, our scars, our dark circles and our spots. All this can seriously boost our confidence and in turn, improve our mood, which is nothing to be sneered at. We each do what makes us feel good about ourselves. And if that means wearing makeup everyday, then so be it!
Of course, just like anything, makeup takes practice. No one is going to be a pro at applying makeup at the very beginning. Makeup is a trial and error process but that is exactly what makes it so fun! With a little bit of time and effort, everyone can become good at putting on makeup. So, today, we are challenging newcomers to the wonderful world of makeup to pass this basic quiz!
