Snog? Marry? Avoid? ...

It has come to my attention, after watching an English show Snog? Marry? Avoid?, that the way you apply your makeup can alter your chances at making friends, or even finding your true love.

For example... although those 5cm fake lashes and 2cm thick eye liner might satisfy your makeup visions, it repels people because I'm sorry to say, but it may look a bit 'crazy'!

I'm sure most of you have seen the Hunger Games, and are aware of the strange looks that the people from the Capital decide to wear. From yellow eye lashes to purple skin, these embellishments are considered 'normal' and almost 'required' in the Capital.

But in our modern world, such looks may only be acceptable in night clubs because quite frankly, the 'natural' makeup look is so much more appealing!

Yes, it is OK to splurge on your mascara and eye liner once in a while, or even wear falsies. But you need to consider whether your makeup look is acceptable for the venue you are attending.

For example, if you are still a school student, wearing falsies to school would definitely be a no. no. However, at a night club would be the perfect place.

So the message today, is to try to wear makeup as natural as possible and only go all out if you consider it completely necessary. Because remember, makeup isn't about covering up your face... it's about show-casing that beautiful and unique face that you were born with.
