Most important thing, make up has taught you?

Aside from the quick fixes, tricks, and trades... I'm sure we all have a story to tell. So when the doors close, the layering of clothes comes off, and your scrubbing away at that last trace of stubborn eyeliner... Any naked truths, thoughts, experiences any one would like to share? Things you learned about yourself, things you were surprised to find out after the products came off? This is a NON judgmental post.

Hmm, the most valuable thing I've learned from make up is that, being pretty is overrated lol & as the saying goes, beauty is definitely a blessing and a curse...

Makeup has taught me to love myself for me. Some women say they look better in makeup over having a natural face and vice versa. Makeup enhances your natural beauty and it has helped me to become a more confident person :)

Omg, Jacqueline that was beautiful! I sense your passion for what you do, and your really living out your dream , that's the exact reason I didn't want to be an MUA because I don't have that conscious mind for some of the things you listed, I knew I would only be pursing it for personal desires... the way you feel about make up and, ones character, etc.is exactly how I feel about Psychology, I love make up and fashion because they give me life, but my passion is psychology, the understanding of peoples behavior, I plan to pursue it after I finish up going to school for fashion retail management... but yeah I wish you nothing but success, and blessings!

Let me continue from where I left off, with my confession,... I use to believe that being a little more attractive (using help from make up) meant dating would come easier for me Lol I know, I know... silly me, so naive, yet I'm grateful that I learned the hard way, through it all, I definitely gained, more self confidence... truely turned into a social butterfly, open-minded, outgoing, networking is the only thing that really got easier, but dating wise all the effort I would put into my personality quickly became the effort I put into my make up, And now, finally got the kinda guy I thought I wanted to attract, but turns out we're nothing alike! And I feel like I'm losing little parts of myself, in the mist of getting to know him- my thoughts remain the same but most of my personality has taken a backseat while I smile and nod at the conversations he's always struggling to have with me... it's actually funny, but I like him, lol.

I'm working on it though, whenever we finally sit down and really talk, I'll open up to him, hopefully we join common grounds, if not then yeah I plan to move on and put my personality and interest first , and more out there

Up until three years ago I knew nothing about makeup. I can say that makeup has taught me to think more creatively. Every visual aspect of my life is more creative now. It's taught me to think outside the box, to be different, and to take on challenges. Three years ago I would have never thought of how much I would love makeup and jeez, have I grown! Lol. It has also taught me that I am capable of whatever I put my mind to. And it's possible for me to achieve my dream. (Sorry if there are any spelling mistakes)

Its taught me that I can be whoever I want to be. I can make myself look like a penguin, a mutant, a cat anything but its also taught that with or without makeup I'm confindent with myself.

Its all about enhancing not changing, when a woman is wearing something she feels beautiful in she transends that through her entire being :)

That my skin looked better without the foundation, all it did was really block the natural radiance of my face. I naturally have flushed cheeks and I have a pink undertone.

I used to think makeup was only about covering up not enhancing. I would wear unnecessary layers of foundation when I was younger. I started wearing makeup way too young and have been conditioned to think I needed makeup to be pretty. I'm sure the media and its ads has a loooot to do with it and it still affects me to this day. It's been hard for me to get used to myself without makeup. I do have fun with creating looks but I just wish I would feel comfortable without it someday.

Since I was young I've always been an introvert & tend to alienate myself from everyone due to depression, anxiety & self consciousness. Going into highschool I decided to make a change, recreate myself, & my persona. They say if you look good you'll feel good & vice versa. It's true, makeup was & is a major booster for me. It allows me to create beauty & look beautiful even when everything else in the world seems out of place. Sometimes you just have to keep a smile on & wear it like everything is okay, because that's all you can do to make it better. *Beautiful Disaster*

Make up taught me that I am beautiful in my own way which no other can do.

Makeup has taught me to only rely on myself for self-confidence. I'm no longer dependant on other people's opinions of me; I know who I am and I don't need anyone else to validate my worth.

Makeup has taught me that you are in control of the way that you look. So many people believe otherwise. I look like a completely different person without makeup and I'm very insecure without out. But I know if I smoke my eyes out and do some extensive contouring, I can transform myself. So many people don't know about the true wonders of makeup. Yes you can make your eyeslashes look longer and have red lips, but you can also "shed" pounds off your face, make your nose appear to be whichever shape you want it to be, and practically "change" your bone structure. You really are in control of how you look and you can become anyone or look however you want with the stroke of a brush.
