Beauty Department: A makeup artist's perspective on beauty

Makeup is a tool, it helps to cover imperfection, enhance natural beauty and boost one's confidence.

In recent years, with all the mixed of misconception of beauty, the misused of photoshop, some ladies begin to feel inferior about how they looks. Perhaps it's the pimple mark/scar, open pores, uneven skin tone or mono lids (small eyes) that bothers the hell out of you. 

I chance upon this video, a talk by Eva De Virgilis about makeup artist's perspective on beauty. 



Video from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gto6w0a13B0

In the video, she spill the truth that none of us (the makeup artist) have mention, but might silently agree - we as makeup artist is treading in the deep end of a shallow profession. She said, makeup is her tool, like a therapy puppet, to help a woman open up about how she feels and her concern.

The message here is, with or without makeup, you are beautiful as who you are. You just need to believe in it. Some people find confidence in love, find confidence in their career, and others find confidence in how they looks and feel. It's all a mental thing. It all boils down to how much TLC you gives yourself. You would have to learn to love yourself before anyone else does.


Valda says:

To me, makeup should be an enhancement (bringing out your natural beauty), rather than a transformation (tuning to look like someone else).

Love yourself and love how you look, it do shows.
