Make-up Issues




Today, I shall start my post with a picture of myself with absolutely no make-up and hair straightener.


To others, this may be a shocking sight of me. I mean, everybody sees me with make-up all the time.


You see, I'm one of those girls who swears by make-up.


Make-up works wonders.


Eversince I was seven, I was already exposed to make-up by my mother.





With a lil' bit of make-up, I enhance my face into the one above. And mind you, that picture is not photoshopped.


Girls out there may be saying," eeeew. Make-up makes you have pimples./ Make-up is unnatural and you actually look ugly without make-up."


NOT!


To the statement-"Make-up makes you have pimples". It's not true people. I have been wearing make-up since I was thirteen and now that I'm nineteen, look, no pimples! Weeee!


You see, you need to buy make-up products that are of good quality.


And with that, I mean expensive but not too expensive.


My secret to perfect make-up is the brand Bourjois.


The price is acceptable. A bottle of liquid foundation costs $30++.


You do not need to look at Chanel or Estee Lauder. Trust me, I've tried those brands.


Expensive and not worth it.


A Chanel compact powder costs $90++ and my skin became very very dry and dull after wearing the product.


Estee Lauder's mascara doesn't make my eye lashes long. I'd rather Bourjois mascara and it's half the price of Estee Lauder's mascara. It makes my eyelashes look like those pretty fake eyelashes.


Bourjois liquid foundation contains Vitamin E and essential minerals that my skin needs and moisturises my dry skin all day long. Besides that, it actually protects my skin from the harmful UV-rays of the sun.


So you see, my face will always remain fair and smooth.




Of course, never ever sleep in make-up. It'll kill your pretty face.







To those girls who say hat without make-up, I actually look ugly.


Owh well, let me use the Siti Nurhaliza and Siti Sarah example.


The are both famous Malaysian singers.


As you can see from the pictures above, both of them put on seriously thick make-up, but Siti Nurhaliza still looks prettier.


Make-up DOES NOT transform your face like plastic surgery.


It just enhances the natural beauty that you already possess.







Also, good quality make-up is essential for sport activities.


Mind you, my Bourjois mascara isn't waterproof and not once will it ever get smudged.






So basically, with good make-up skills and good make-up products, you're able to


have a pretty face all day long.




Of course,different skin types suit different products. For example, L'oreal products make my skin very very dry but perfect for some people.


Take your time to find make-up products that suit your skin best.




Never think yourself as ugly.


I believe every girl is pretty it's just whether you want to put in the effort to be pretty.
