Wanted to post an entry regarding the guess show on Saturday. In a segment of the show, it featured three girls with and without make up. One must not underestimate how marvelous cosmetics are and the miracles it can perform. It transforms a plain next door girl into someone else entirely, simply gorgeous.

Yet, we all know under that thick layer of mascara, lipstick and what not, Im not very good with cosmetics, lies a simple, plain face. The makeup, now, is tantamount to a mask, a false front a girl wears to hide her blemishes, and make herself presentable. This may be advantage to her initially, but immediately when she shed the makeup, it is often responded with disapproval from friends, and even boyfriends. The three girls who appeared in the show were examples of that.

This is exactly why I dont like my future partner to be obsessed with cosmetics. Lots of friends have questioned my intentions in doing so, and I was even labeled as too traditional. The reason is, I dont want to be attracted to the 'mask', but rather the person for who she is.
