There was a day where I saw an advertisement for Personal Image Branding & Consulting workshop in Bangsar. The workshop - which includes make up classes - boasts that attending it would boost self-confidence. I could not disagree further.
If anything, I think that make up makes a person less confident.
Has anyone really thought of the implicit implication to their ego and "being"? (In comparison, the implication of applying all these chemicals to our skin becomes quite minuscule 1 A blind allegiance and focus on the tangibles with a complete disregard of the intangibles breed ignorance and suffering - without one even realizing why one's suffering.)
How can a person be more confident when they don't even love themselves for who they are - as they are?
I beg to digress.
I accept that I have dark eye circles, wrinkles, and I don't have flawless skin. The list goes on.
Regardless, I will love, accept, and take good care of myself.
"You, yourself, as much as anybody else in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection."
“Love yourself—accept yourself—forgive yourself—and be good to yourself, because without you the rest of us are without a source of many wonderful things.”
I interpret it as if you spend all your time drilling over your "self" how you look etc etc, and forget about giving and helping others; really, you will only devise your own demise and misery. You will never feel good that way - maybe only as long as your 'mask' is on. And, is that even a real good feeling?

1. The author have been washing her face with nothing but clean water for the past 6 years. Nil skincare routine. She wonders if that "time savings" have bestowed her extra time to do things like this:
Singing to "I feel good nananananana, I knew that I would....without make-up!"
Lalala, I'm gonna dance away, then read some law before sleeping.
Oh life, oh joy! :D
