The Pros and Cons of Make UPS



Make Ups are good. It brings out the beauty in most ladies if everything is applied very well and accurately. It also makes others feel confident.  On the other hand it can be used to cover up wrinkles on our faces hence making others look young as they will prefer. I am not that a fun of Make ups though. If I have my way I could do so without it completely but that is not possible because sometimes I woke up with a weird face and whatever I do if a moderate make up is not applied I will be lost haha.



I started real make ups somewhere in 2018 when mine younger sister got an opportunity to be a Bride's maid for a wedding of her friend. Of course I was also invited and as a package for my younger sister she got a makeup package form her friend. 



Well, all was set and we got to get ready for a wedding. My sister had to sleep at her friends so as to avoid late coming. I am not that fun of attending weddings but I decided to attend to check on my sister as to her dancing moves and how she gets to carry herself along and so on.



I did mine own makeup and since I am not in so much fun of, it was in moderation. I always hated it when makeups are on the extremes. I have seen few in extremes and I nearly went crazy for them as if I was the one carrying it on my face.



Being very much aware of Africans Weddings, Its delays with dramatics scenes I decided to arrived  late but on time. Meaning I will arrive exactly when it about to start. I wouldn’t like to waste my precious time waiting at a wedding when I could get a lots of things done in the house before.



I  arrived exactly when the Bride was just coming out. And ooh what a shocked, What I did not want to see was just what was before me.  It was a VERY EXTREME,  MAKEUP OOPS.  It looks like I was not the only person who notices it. People where whispering among themselves which I am sure it has to do with the Makeup. Nothing could be done about it at this point though, it was very absolutely too late. This was not the time to redo things. In the first place it will be time consuming. Invited guest have already wasted enough time, and procedures must continue as it was.



What an embarrassment it also was for the Groom when he joined his Bride. The expression was obvious on his face. The feeling for me was oh, why should one be embarrassed on her wedding day? Days that are supposed to bring you happiness. Well, low and below all came to a  successful end but with the fact that guest got more whispering and gossiping to do after closure.



I was surely not left out. I arrived home and keenly waiting for my younger sister to return home so I could find out from her, who was behind those extreme makeups. The Bride or the Makeup Artist.



Mine take home was its the fault of the make up artist. Some are good at their work whilst aren't. 



Who on Earth could have recommended such a make up artist? Well we can all guess.



Dear Ladies I share with you that make ups are good however let do  it in moderation. You are already a very beautiful lady. You have been created with all the beauty in this world.  You are intelligent, smart, and Beautiful. Be very confident of yourself.  In fact beauty is much more related to our inner selves than our physical appearance. A man who insists you wear extreme makeups before he love you is deceiving you. Tell that man you are beautiful and with him or without him you will find your love.



 



Love yourself first and this will be seen in your physical body.



Happy Sunday to Us and Lets stay Safe.



Covid 19 is in Town Remember



Hugs
