There’s no need to sugarcoat it, mainly because it’s already caked over. Ladies, I’m talking about your faces. Your faces are covered in more nonsense than Paulie’s floor on a Friday morning. From blush to bronzer, eyeliner to eye-shadow, mascara to the rest of the makeup that you’ve thrown on, it’s all a waste of time. In what world does a layer of cover-up and blue eye-shadow make you look better than if you’re face was naked?
Yes, starlets like Natalie Portman and Jennifer Aniston have makeup artists that spend a lot of time making them look perfect. But I have yet to see anyone at this school that looks like them, because if I did, I’d spend my time drooling over them rather than schoolwork or writing this column. On top of that, it’s a bit more important to look good on the red carpet than walking to class.
I completely understand insecurities. Guys have them too. Nobody enjoys having blemishes or bags under their eyes. But I know I’m not the only one that would rather see you after you roll out of bed than after an hour in the bathroom mirror. If I say hello to you, give you a kiss on the cheek and need a wet-wipe to clean my face afterwards, that’s horrible and you should probably reevaluate your life.
This stretches out onto so many different levels as well. If a guy spots you from across the room and thinks that you’re cute, it’s not a good look when he gets close to you and sees some crusted gook on your face. No guy wants to wake up in the morning and have to wash his pillow case because he took you home and your face got wiped off in the middle of the night. And for the record, please stop fake-tanning. If you’re Irish and tan in the middle of November, I know it’s not normal and when we make jokes about you looking orange, it’s because that’s what half of you look like, an orange.
Suck it up and be confident with yourself. I’d love it if a girl went all naturál, or maybe just eyeliner when she went out. It really shows that you have confidence. Hell, I don’t know many (or any) guys that wear makeup so I don’t see why you need it on while you’re around us.
If you’re going out somewhere that you need to be looking your best, than I understand but if you’re headed to the townhouses or the bars around here, let’s be honest… nobody’s expecting anything spectacular.
