Hey guys it's Cara and today we're going to be answering the very popular question of
why do women wear makeup?
Specifically, do women wear makeup for men?
And for all you curious viewers out there, the answer is yes women do sometimes wear
makeup for men.
But most of the time they don't.
I know I know this is shocking news.
I'm sure there are some guys watching this video like "What?
No, how is it even possible that women are dressing themselves up to look all nice and
not, you know, to please me?
I don't understand."
There are so many different things I want to talk about on this subject, so I'm going
to move quickly.
But first things first, why do people think this?
Why do people think that women wear makeup only for men?
And not everyone think this but it is a very popular argument that I've heard.
And I don't really agree with it.
Personally, I think it stems from this notion that women are superficial and incomplete
without men.
You see it all the time in the media with people making fun of women for taking selfies,
of movies telling girls that they don't have a fulfilled life unless they have a guy.
AKA early Disney movies.
I mean, Little Mermaid, I still love that movie; it's very entertaining, but looking
back the message is kind of messed up.
If you wear too much makeup, you're a "slut", you're "cake face", you're "trying too hard",
you're "not to be trusted" -- which I hate hate pictures like these are you serious,
this is why you have trust issues?
that's why you have trust issues? because really I think that's the reason that nobody
wants to date you.
Because you're a judgmental jerk who bases a woman's morality on the amount of makeup
she wears, while simultaneously implying that these women aren't worthy of your annoying
self.
And if you wear too little makeup you're "not trying", "ugly", "lazy", there are a lot of
quotation marks in this, but you get the point.
And you get those questions like "Did you sleep at all last night?
Are you sick?"
Which I understand are questions that are usually well intended, but you know if you're
not wearing makeup and you get those questions you're kind of like "eh, nope that's just
my face" not really a win win situation here.
So back to the questions "why do women wear makeup?" and "do women wear makeup for guys?"
yes there are absolutely times where a woman is wearing makeup to impress a man or a woman
or anything in between.
Look at Selena Gomez's song "Good For You" sometimes you just want to wear a tight dress
and do your hair up real nice, and look good to impress somebody.
And that is totally okay.
There is nothing wrong with dressing up for somebody else, as long as you're not completely
dependent on their approval in order to feel good about yourself, because that's when it
becomes a little unhealthy.
But it's important to remember that's not the only reason women get dressed up and try
to look nice.
All right everyone, scooch in because I'm about to drop a truth bomb on you, a knowledge
bomb on you come on, come on in.
sometimes women dress themselves up and try to look nice... for themselves.
Mind blown!
Yeah, sometimes we want to be able to look in the mirror and be like "dang, I look good"
or sometimes we want to try a new makeup technique, or sometimes we just like putting on makeup
and getting all fancied up because it makes us feel good and we enjoy it for ourselves.
Either way, it doesn't matter the motivation behind someone looking a certain way, because
at the end of the day it's that individual's face, it's that individual's hair, it's that
individual's body, and most importantly, it's that individual's life.
Also saying "that individual's" repeatedly is a tongue twister man.
So this is a message for everyone regardless of gender, feel free to comment on people's
appearances, but never feel entitled to somebody where you think you can mock or taunt their
choices in makeup, in hair, or fashion.
Because you can't; you're not them, they're not hurting you.
So just don't do it.
The answer is simple: women wear makeup because they want to.
That's it; that's really all there is to it.
And to be honest, I personally dream of a world where one day we can all wear makeup,
men included because I think right now it's thought of as this girly thing but like no
man makeups awesome.
No matter what.
It should stop being seen as this girls only thing.
Because you know what we all get acne, acne sucks, and sometimes good coverup makes you
feel a lot better.
And eye shadow, why's it only have to be for girls?
Everyone loves a good smokey eyes, right?
I'm just saying.
