Both men and women love to look good. A man’s way of looking handsome is to enhance himself, while women like to play with colors and enhance their appearance. Makeup should not be seen as something that helps you hide your flaws (although it does), but rather as something that helps you enhance your features. It should blend in with your natural appearance rather than make you look like a completely different person.
You can use cosmetics to feel confident and attractive. But there are several other benefits of wearing makeup which are explained below:
1. You feel good, positive and confident
We are not being vain or superficial here. But admit it, don’t you feel happy and positive after a makeover? When you are well dressed and have your hair and makeup done, it gives you the confidence to take on the world. Cosmetics have colors and fragrances that make us feel great; therefore, we are tempted to show off every time we have a special meeting or event to attend.
2. Protect the skin
Moisturizer, primer and foundation form a protective layer and prevent dust and dirt from entering the pores and clogging them. This barrier created on the surface protects the surface from exposure to sunlight and dust. We agree that there will not be total protection; however, the damage will be limited.
3. Therapeutic and creative activity
Ever since we were children, we all had a penchant for playing with colors. It feels refreshing and exciting to draw, paint and have fun with crayons. This activity isn’t that different either, except we’re using cosmetics to paint our faces! Whenever you feel stressed, go to your dressing room, use those products and see how you feel.
4. It makes you look spectacular in photos and video calls
Images preserve moments. That’s why we go the extra mile to look fabulous in photos. But the thing about photos is that our natural features sometimes go unnoticed. This is where you can use a bit of eyeliner, lip gloss, or highlighter to make your features stand out and your face look vibrant. Similarly, since we now spend most of our time in the high-definition virtual world, we need the help of cosmetics to make us look smart and animated for video interactions.
5. It is an excellent time ritual for me.
The time you spend doing your makeup is the time you can be alone. Taking care of our needs must be a priority. And daily skin care is a great way to take care of yourself. We all need time to focus on ourselves before attending to the needs of the world.
