I hide behind makeup

article image placeholderUploaded by @ashdew
I do get a lot of compliments, but I feel like my eyes could be brighter, my nose could be slimmer, my lips could be fuller. Oh, my God, I would just love to have fuller lips. I hide my insecurities behind makeup, and I'm sure so many women do. I've also slapped on makeup when I've cried the entire night, and I had to rush to school the next morning. Now, I couldn't afford looking washed out at work

If you're happy and if you're comfortable with makeup on very well. But if you're not happy and you're doing it just for the sake of it, I don't feel comfortable. So, yeah, each one has his own view, but have a wonderful evening again. Bye. Bye

I cannot think of that. And yes, you were right that these days, celebrities and actresses and all they are putting on their no makeup looks. But what I think is that they go through so much of skin pampering and skin different kinds of skin surgeries and also their skin and our skin is totally different. What we have is a natural skin and with all sort of pigments, dark circles, pores

I definitely do not agree with you on a lot of things here, but nevertheless, thank you for sharon your viewpoint, because it's always good to know how people think, and that is why we have these discussions. And it's interesting to understand the psychology behind every human being, what they're saying and why they would think that. And it's just interesting for me to get different perspectives

But I think it's important to know that it's also about taking care of the well being through a balanced diet, a positive mindset, and the important factors, as we all know, that come within for looking beautiful. But nonetheless, the truth of the matter is, for people like us or women today, the empowered women today strongly say glam on, why not? Right? And a messy bun with that perfectly blended eyeshadow tells you that you can take it and you can slay it

It's important to feel good once you go out of your house into the world, and the world also takes you any shabby, dirty looking, unshaven guy should not go and meet him and will not be a pleasure to sit around with him. Whereas a well groomed guy I'm sure you would love to, who can talk well and carry well, you'd like to spend time and engage both professionally and personally to him. So reply to that. Yeah. Agree to disagree

You. So what I didn't like was the parts where you said that when women are well dressed and clam and things like that, then the men around them, they enjoy looking at them and you said something on those lines. Although, yes, I agree. It's always good to be well groomed and presentable. But then why are we doing that? I mean, what is the reason behind it? Is what I'm talking about is it because I am insecure about something in my body?

And you won't say artificially life is artificial. So if you have to carve out our face or carve out our body or carve out our mind, we are just shaping it out for your own self. Don't get me wrong that you're getting up or making up for somebody else. No, it's you. It's you if you feel confident and nice, do it no and why do you need validations from others?

@ashdew The day I learnt the white beard theory 🥲

So it was not very pleasant to say. But that being said, it also did instill a bit of resilience in me. It gave me strength going through those challenges, so I wouldn't have it any other way. But it did have a lot of insecurities. It did create a bit of insecurities in me. And so into my teens, when I started sporting a beard, I thought, okay, maybe I'll cover up the white patches with a beard

You don't do makeup to your mom or you don't do makeup to anything, which is very cute. So when somebody is beautiful from inside, check it. My makeup Lagado Nail makeup kitna berlo, I think feel good. What is inside. I don't want to Gan into it

Hello. Thank you for sharing such a personal experience. And, yeah, I like the white beard theory. And, you know, thank you for understanding what I was trying to say through my swell. It just reflects that you are a mature person who understands the deeper meanings behind things. And, yes, the beauty standards said by the media are definitely there's a lot of pressure on women

Hi, Ashdew. A very good morning to you. I loved reading and listening to what you said about makeup. I think you are beautiful with makeup or without it. I would only want you to be confident and be yourself with makeup or without makeup. Makeup is not to hide your flaws or anything. They're just to enhance you. If they make you feel confident, that's fine. That's where you should be focusing about the use of your makeup. You're flawless

Hi, Ash. Interesting poster. I hide behind makeup. It's deep. Look, you girls are beautiful and valuable with or without makeup. So according to me, it's just a tool for self expression and enhancing one's appearance. So it brings confidence for some individuals. However, it's very important to maintain a healthy balance and not let it become an addiction or, what do you say, a source of dependency for your self esteem

And I want to feel that it is okay if I go in for a meeting without any makeup or if I go and meet a friend at happening place. I don't always have to wear makeup. So that is the confidence I'm looking for. Anyhow, thank you so much for your response

I guess you could do the same maybe with as we age and as we mature and gain more wisdom through our life experiences and also heal those areas which are in deep need of our own self acceptance. Women then no longer need to wear any makeup or any false self to either protect ourselves or to feel belong

Ah, yes. Hi Ash. This is exactly what I was talking about. And in my reply, if you look at it, I am also sharing a link with you. This is again will redirect you to my podcast on it. It's a guided meditation, basically where you visualize, listen through it and kind of you it's like kind of connecting with your inner self in order to heal it

So I feel like makeup just really allows me to express myself. It makes me feel good, powerful, especially on days when I feel really like crap, when I feel like I haven't had a good sleep, when I feel like I'm just really sad, when I feel like I have very dark hyperpigmentation under my eyes and all of those dark circles and all of that stuff

You. Hi, Ashmi. How are you, my friend? Thank you for the invite. But you know, after listening to your swell, I was just blank because makeup is more personal. I don't talk about personal things, but okay. After listening, I do have some thoughts to share with. And no doubt makeup is a woman's personal choice. Just joking. At best, it is the observer's headache, whether he likes or not

But then, you know, I always like to wear it whenever I go out, and I don't feel guilty about it, and I don't feel insecure that, you know, even I'm not wearing doing my makeup because I always want to put my best foot forward. And when I am well groomed, we all get more confidence when we are wearing makeup. And because I think maybe we feel that that is the best version of ourselves. I don't know

Pic1 - without makeup and unwell pic 2 - without makeup and with beaming under peace. Pic 3 - with eye make up ☺️

I am a big fan of eye makeup, so I try different types of eye makeup and even eye colors at times. But it's not like always. There are days when want to do that, and there are days when I don't want to do that, and I love myself either ways. So, once again, thank you so much for bringing in this topic. Really love the discussion. Lots of love to you

Hey, Ariana. Thank you for your response and sharing those picks. I think you look beautiful in all three of them, seriously. And as far as how do I feel when I don't put on makeup, you know, I actually do feel great when I don't put on makeup, because at home, I have nothing on, and when I'm meeting my really close friends or they're coming over to my house, I don't put on makeup
