In the midst of procrastinating from packing (seriously, I love going home and all, but I HATE packing. Clothes should just magically fold themselves and walk straight in the bag according to my approval - a nod for "Yes, you get to come home with me" and everything else means "Nothing personal, but you get to stay here in UK". Life would be amazing! #thingsIwouldbuildifIhadthebrainsandmeansforit)
Anyways, saw this article on Facebook about "Why You Should Date A Girl Who Doesn't Need to Wear Make Up" & I thought "Okay, another list to read, let's do this!". I don't know why, I like reading lists (more than articles), whatever the content may be..
According to the article, these are the reasons why & Imma put in my two cents into it (in italics):
This is the appeal of a woman who doesn’t wear makeup:
She’s comfortable in her own skin.
Not necessarily, she might just be lazy. I mean, that's why I don't wear make up. I am lazy; to apply it, to take care of it, to remove it later on.. If it's anything I am forced to be comfortable with looking slightly less than a million bucks when I go out on a daily basis.
She accepts her imperfections.
Forced to accept if I may say so? Sure I like to hid my pimple scars, or maybe my eyebags, and my frackles too while we're at it. But hehhh, applying make-up is too much effort, so lets look like how I look waking up x)
She doesn’t need compliments or flattery to feel worthy.
Okay, I guess this is true. But you know, who would say no to compliments every now and then right?
She’s too busy to take the time to apply eyeliner.
Too busy lazy. Also, I can't apply eyeliner for shizzz.
She’s got good genes.
I got it from my Mama! (& Papa of course. xxxxx)
She’s confident in herself.
That I must admit, I am. But doesn't make a girl with face full of make-up any less confident that I am.
She’s easy to wake up next to.
Hahahahahaha! No. I've been told I look like a lioness upon waking up. *peace*
She’s not worried about her mascara fading.
No. But I do worry about it smudging and the whole process of touching up is a chore. So again, I don't bother.
She travels light.
Hahahahaha! Again. No. That term does not exist in my dictionary. I always pack like I'm moving to a new country or something.
She can go skinny dipping without looking like a raccoon when it comes time to dry off.
Urr, ever heard of waterproof make up?
She’s not always staring at herself in the mirror.
I STILL DO! With or without make-up. As long as there's a mirror, I'll turn and check myself out.. #taktaumalu
She’s accepted her least attractive version of herself.
Because God doesn't make mistakes. <<< What I tell myself to feel better.. Whatever puts me to bed at night right? Oh and who says girls w/o make are less attractive. Some are even more beautiful with less make-up/no make-up okay!
She’s never going to pretend to look like someone else.
In the past I've attempted to look like Blair Waldorf, TinkerBell and blahblahblah. It's called dressing up! Not pretending.. I'm sure those girls with make-up on aren't pretending either.
She’s not scared of what men think of her.
Men schmen. Mehh.
She doesn’t search for acceptance in anyone but herself.
No. I search for my parent's approval.
She doesn’t let her beauty define her.
...
She doesn’t get upset when she’s missing lipstick.
I do actually. Because I don't buy lipsticks often, when I buy them means I really like them.. So of course I do!
She looks her age.
Nope. People have gotten my age wrong.
She doesn’t make you guess what she really looks like.
Yes, you get what you see.
She can get caught off guard and not care.
This is more to confidence than make-up really.
She doesn’t take hours to get ready.
Yes I do. Because I like to laze around x)
She doesn’t spend her money on tubes and compacts.
I do, but they last for years so it's an investment? Hahaha
She’s not worried about smudges and smears.
Because I worry about not getting food on my shirt or face more :p
She can go to the beach and not look like a stranger.
Aisya Amin in a bikini... You'll probably do a double take (like "Nooooo that can be her! Can it? o.O"). So yeah will definitely look like a stranger :p
She finds beauty in the untouched.
And beauty in the "touched"...
She makes people feel comfortable.
Nope. I've been told I can be intimidating at times.
She’s not afraid to show you her true self.
Because I am too lazy to be afraid.
She’s not competitive with other women.
SIAPA CAKAP?! Okay actually wait. No, I'm not competitive but you know I still get intimidated that kind of thing.
She seems simple but has many layers.
Seems simple.. Doubt it :p
------
Anyways. Point is, not everyone who wears make up lacks confidence. Not everyone who doesn't wear make-up thinks they're God's gift to men, some (like me) are just down right lazy (or has no discipline for it).
Yes I agree some girls put too much make-up on, but I think that shows their dedication, to themselves at the very least, more than their lack of self-confidence. I mean seriously, do you know how long it takes to put make-up on? At least an extra 15 minutes of getting-ready time which means less 15 minutes of lazying-around time.. Plus, they're making an effort to make themselves look more presentable. And do you know how hard is it to draw on eye-liner? That is a skill by itself. Plus one appeal points for all these girls who can apply make-up. Another thing, imagine getting a girl who wears make up and when she removes it, she's just as amazing looking as with her make-up on. PLUS 1000 APPEAL POINTS PLEASE.
Also sometimes situation requires you to have some kind of make-up on. I mean going to a formal dinner and you put on a fancy dress, with a bare face.. It's the same of you showing up with jeans and t-shirt jer weih. When you wanna go big, go all the way, or you go home.
But anyways, to each their own. If they're comfortable in their own skin with make-up yay them! They're still appealing (if not to you, there will be others who thinks they are). Let's not boast about our "natural beauty" and demote these hardworking girls who wake up every morning and spend at least 15 minutes improving their appearance.
Putting on make up doesn't make you less perfect, and by not wearing make-up doesn't make you the "perfect girl to date" (as claimed by the article).. I mean come on, I don't wear make up because I'm lazy, not because I take myself too seriously & don't have time to apply make-up, not because I want to demand much more respect because I don't wear make-up. Would you like to date a lazy girl? (If yes, please send in your application to Godblessyoursoul@gmail.com)
