I interviewed an infamous makeup artist today for my newspaper. It made me realize how much makeup does have a prime role in our culture. Without it, "models" wouldn't look perfect, actresses would look average and often terrible, and we would have to expose our true selves. How ironic... the world doesn't want to see the face we were born with.

Makeup may be for the soul, but pajamas are just as great. I want some new nightwear. I am getting bored with my flannel pjs and sweats. Of course I always look great in my makeup, but when I'm wearing boring and full nightwear, I look terrible. Who wants to see a beautiful woman with red lipstick and made up eyes when she is in a sweat suit? Not me.

I want to be in love. I really would enjoy having a boyfriend.

Sometimes I feel like my makeup represents who I am and who I am dating. I don't know.. if I wear dark makeup, I tend to be depressed or am single. When I am vibrant and wear bright colors, you know that I either have a boyfriend or am having a wonderful day. For these reasons, I know makeup is my way of expressing myself. Why don't my parents understand that?

I do feel like makeup is good for the soul. So you don't like your appearance... it's okay. Makeup can certainly change it up a bit.

Wear some new colors. Fix your hair. Buy a new cosmetic line. It will make you feel better.
