Please take off your mask

I've never understood why girls (and women) wear so much spac on their faces. I don't actually know how to wear foundation therefore I don't. But do girls really think that layering on mud on their face to the point where it is clearly noticeable is attractive? Oh that's a lovely shade of BROWN you are wearing, not to mention ORANGE face over there. Why is it that young girls and women need to put on so much extra 'layers' on their skin?

Obviously not everyone can have beautiful clean and clear skin. I get that. But does the cover up have to be so heavy? Is it not possible to use something light that you barely notice... or is it the barely noticeable makeup that is really 4 products used to make it look so barely noticeable.

Why can we, as women, not appreciate how we look without make up? Why do women spend time putting on make up to then sit in front of their computers at all hours taking poser photographs of themselves? The amount of photos I see on the net of girls and women using photo booth with a ton of make up on.... Seriously, you're sitting there at 10.30pm at night posting photographs of yourself with a full face of make up. Who are you really underneath all of that?

My philosophy is if I look like shit then I look like shit. No amount of colour to my face is going to make me look better. Men don't get the luxury of foundation or eye make up (although some choose to do so and that's cool by me, I like boys who wear eyeliner (depending on the boy and no crow make up please, that is so mid 90's)) to make themselves look better. I figure if a guy likes me for ME, who can see me without make up and still like me then kudos to me.

I'm not interested in putting on a mask and then being too scared to take it off lest my effect on someone disappears as a result.
