A good friend of mine pointed out his disdain for layers upon layers of makeup. Girls usually wear makeup to fix their imperfections, and boost confidence by drawing attention to their best feature. However, guys claim that makeup is equivalent to the tell-tale lie of the Wonderbra. When you wear so much makeup that you don’t even look like the person you are without all of the powder and eyeliner, you might as well wear the mask like that guy in the last season of The Bachelorette.
“Not to sound mean, but it usually sets up for a dissapointment when the sun rises and sleeping beauty is replaced with a drooling gob of makeup residue,” a male NC State student who asked to be kept anonymous said.
With that said, it is important to remember to stay true to yourself. Find your best feature and play it up all you want – but don’t go all plastic surgeon on yourself in the morning with your makeup bag. What’s not to love about a girls natural beauty and the confidence she has in her own skin? OWN it don’t CLONE it!
