Also animal testing has been shown to fail on humans. This is because of the many differences between them. So many types of makeup will more likely fail because of this. Also studies show that 92 out of 100 animals that are used in testing die because of the harmful tests that are used on them.
Teaching Them Young
Simplest example being old Disney princess movies. These princesses lived miserable lives until someone thought they were beautiful and wanted to marry them.
PROS:
- Can bring in some extra cash if won
- Bragging rights
- Gaining some self confidence
CONS:
- Kids will not be able to experience the normal childhood a typical kid would have
- Costs for these competitions are ridiculous and just overall not cheap
- The child could lose confidence due to losing or scolding from the parent.
These are just some of the pros and cons to Beauty Pageants. We should teach our children and have them grow up to believing in themselves and seeing the true beauty of every individual. Let us now continue this trend of wanting to look like the "perfect person" onto our upcoming generations.
Criticism comes in many directions:
Weather its a male giving an opinion or female there will always be people who have something to say on how you look.Some comments from guys might be “Why do you where so much makeup” or “You look like a clown, with all of that on your face.”I say why do they care? Is it affecting them in any way? NO ! Why do they feel the need to put a women down just because she feels like expressing herself.Men don’t see makeup as us women,on that note they shouldn’t have to tell a women anything for wanting to make herself feel better.Its not always for them we live in a new generation where makeup is a big part of out society and is used im mostly everything.Some examples would be models when posing for magazines which are purchased everywhere by many people.Also celebrities have been using it for many year.When it comes to females judging other females on their makeup things could get intense.Something a taught at a young age that they have to be better then everyone.Which gives them a mentally that using make-up should be a priority.Most people that see females without make-up usually say that they they look dead or sick.This is why females feel the need to always have make-up even if they are not doing something that should involve them having to look nice.For example if lady's have to go to the store for a few things they will get on a full faced make-up because they feel the need to look "pretty" instead of having to feel "ugly".What does that mean? "Pretty" "Ugly" Most people have a different definition for those two words.Now-a-days to be considered "Pretty" you have to wear make-up and it even goes beyond just the basics such as foundation,eye shadow,eye liner and lipstick,People now are have gotten into the habit of false lashes and contouring which is even more damage to the face,Mostly if you do not prep your face before all of that make-up.
Boosting your Self esteem:
People react to negative comments in many ways,Some good others not so well.The people who deal with it in a negative way usually have a low self-esteem.They might react by not wearing makeup at all or maybe just being quiet about it. We live in a new era where people are not afraid to stand up for themselves.We live in a world where most people don't know what words like : ugly,too much and not attractive don’t exist when it comes to outer beauty.Make-up artist quote that “I wear makeup for myself because I like it.:” They have a good point why try to impress anyone if all they are going to do is judge you. I like to believe that makeup was made for those who don’t like their physical appearance as much as they should.That doesn’t give anyone the right to judge on whether you look good with or without makeup.
