Re: Whats with the clown make up?

I agree that “caked on” makeup does not look good on any women. But…in their defense…here are some thoughts:

Some girls (especially teenagers/college students) are just starting to get into makeup…and in their “experimenting” phase and are still learning what looks good on them/what they like.

Believe me when I say this…trying to find a foundation that makes perfect is a nightmare for some women! Some honestly just give up OR they’re “matched” with wrong colors by sales peoples…and of course…their friends/family never bothers to tell them to truth (I’m actually guilty of this!). Let’s be completely honest…if you saw a friend/family member or co-worker or neighbor wearing the wrong shade of foundation…what’re the odds that you would actually tell them that to their face?

As for women who apply heavy makeup (a lot of eye makeup, blush whatever)…I know this may be a shock for some…but there are women who wear makeup because it makes THEM happy. They’re not concerned about how others perceive them. They put on the makeup…they themselves like what they see in the mirror…and they’re content with that. Being visually pleasing to others is not their #1 priority.

All of this.^^
