Power of Make-Up

I personally am dependent on make-up. Is that wrong?

Here is some information and thoughts I put together today.

-LEAH-

Cosmetics have been around for centuries. Their use is widespread, especially among women in western countries. A branch of cosmetics is called "make-up", which refersto colored products intended to alter the user’s appearance. During the 20th century, the popularity of cosmetics increased. In the United States, cosmetics are used by girls at an increasingly young age. Many companies have come to relize this expanding market and are introducing more flavored lipsticks and glosses, cosmetics packaged in glittery, sparkly packaging and marketing and advertising using young models.

So why do so many women wear make-up? Is it because of glamore or attention? Do people wear it because they like it? Personally, I like to wear make up because it makes me feel more confident in myself; in my apperence. Others may enjoy wearing make up just because it has become a habit or something they "just do".

Who are they trying to impress? Some are trying to impress men and attract sexual attention by wearing short shorts and other such things, but not all. Some simply feel good about themselves and take pride in thier appearance, the same way you get a nice clean feeling after a shower, a little make-up and a nice outfit has an affect on our confidence.
