Girls seriously we need to talk.

Jacqueline. I understand where you coming from.

However, I can't just sit and say nothing. There are a lot of people that hide behind a mask because some idiot out there told them their ugly and another idiot out there never told them they weren't.

I dealt with a mother that wanted me to make her daughter "beautiful" by changing her daughters natural beauty as she wasn't happy with it. I've had clients and worked with colleagues that hate the way they look an escape to contouring the heck outta their face so they look "beautiful".

If my topic has offended someone I'm sorry.

I had to just let everyone out there know their beautiful no matter what others say about you.

I love what Jacqueline said.
It is rather annoying and rude when people assume I do something make up wise because I'm not happy with the way I am. If I wasn't happy I'd constantly complain, I'm loud and speak my mind.
I contour all the time, every time. I weigh 116lbs, and I'm almost 5'8 in height... now tell me do you think it's because I want to be obsessed skinny or just want to define my cheek bones a bit and bring dimension back into my face after making it flat with foundation?
People wear mascara now don't they? Makes their lashes look longer and more volumized but no one says anything about mascara. So why is a different make up application so different! I will never understand!
We need to stop assuming that because someone does xyz they want to change something about them.
For all you know they wanted to try something different that day.

We're human and our nature will always be to assume, but lately it has gotten a bit out of hand. The other day a young lady on here wanted to give herself a make over, asking what type of make up looks and hair cuts she should try out.
I was so disgusted and upset when I saw that a group of girls were telling her that she needed help and that she had a disorder and that she needs to get help.

This should be printed and framed and put on blast for the whole world to hear!
' My thought is this: Assume nothing, and just appreciate people for who and what they are. If someone is truly unhappy and feels they need to attempt cover their face with makeup to hide inner discontent it just won't work, and telling anyone that their own personal philosophy is slightly skewed when it comes to makeup is wrong or misguided is awfully presumptive as well. '

It seemed to me that Hibz was not criticizing the fact of contouring everyday so much as she was pointing out the desire to completely change the way you look because of a feeling if inferiority. I know that I can contour my face all day long but this won't apply to me because I don't have feelings if inferiority toward myself so I did not take it personally at all.
It seemed she was describing a dynamic that she has noticed but there is no reason to assume she was speaking of every woman who favors contouring.

Thank you Tara. You took the words out of my mouth.

I was talking about all those girls that look in the mirror and hate what they see. To all those girls that have been told their flaws more then worth.

There are people out there that use it as a mask. Which makes them happy but how do they feel once the mask is wiped away?
If there are any women in here that feel that way I just wanted them to know there beautiful.
That's why I said about complimenting the person above you.

To kitty, Jacqueline and others that have been offended I apologies a million percent. I just wanted everyone to feel loved.

You didn't say anything wrong Hibz apologizing for offending others is one thing. You should never apologize or be apologetic for your opinion because it is just that your opinion and in the world we live in not everyone is going to agree with your point of view and that is okay!! :-)

Thank you BG **virtual hugs**

Thank you Hibz and Kim C. So sweet! <3
@hibz you honestly could trust me with your life savings! Haha that's funny that you got that vibe from my face...
@Miss Jackie...wow that's such a beautiful thing you wrote there...

Lol

Oh Amanda's reply to me.

Sorry it thought I replayed to you.

I understand where you're coming from. I was just so heated from a mother that couldn't see the beauty in her teenage daughter and it got me so mad.
I understand I shouldn't think people here are going through that kind of problems at home. I guess I just has to tell everyone that they were beautiful because that's the truth.
