MizzWorthy's Tag!

So one of my followers, and someone I follow started a Tag.

What makeup Product started your love affair /obsession with MakeUp.

Well let's see, I have dabbled in make up for the better part of this past year, and did my eye make up but nothing that really made me love it dearly until really recently. And that would be the tokidoki collection done with Smashbox. I love tokidoki, and when I had found out that they did a collection with Smashbox that was all I needed to hear. I eventually got the entire collection on Ebay, and love the packaging, the colours, the textures, although I don't use it often for fear of it running out because it's a limited edition, I take very good care of it. After that I got really serious about make up in general.

I started watching makeup video's religiously after that. I watched some before, only one or two people, but I really branched out after that and found so many great people, and wanted to learn more about the art of make up. Because to me, Make Up really is an art. Alot of Mac Artists agree that it's a way of transforming yourself, but I prefer the ideals of Kat Von D. For those of you who don't know who she is, she's a tattoo artist. She was on a show called Miami Ink, where she guest tatoo'd for awhile but problems with her personality and the owner of the shop Ami (pronounced Ah-me, not amy) caused her to leave. She eventually got her own show cause her personality is just that great, and she said this about make up.

"Makeup is part of my daily routine. It's the time in my mornings when I can concentrate on me, and me alone. Giving yourself that kind of attention is so important—and is something that is definitely glossed over by too many women."

So after hearing that, how could you not love make up? It's a confidence booster, it's a girly thing, that only other girls, or transgenders, or tranny men will understand. I don't judge. It enhances your features, it's fun to collect, it brings you back to a time of playing dress up and pretend, a time when things were alot more simple, alot easier, and taking that 5 - 20 minutes in the morning to yourself, when you get ready, to sit down, and decide, "Who do I wanna be today?" harkens back to when you truely believed you could be anyone you wanted to be. And that fact seems to fall away as we get older, and the reality of bills, and money issues, and relationships of the romantic kind sort of take over our life. And then kids, and worrying about having enough time for everything and everyone, and all your make up goes to hiding in a drawer and all you're concerned about is time, and not having enough of it.
That is why on so many make over shows, they tell you that you can have a 5 minute face, and look fabulous still, but just taking that extra 5 minutes to really concentrate on yourself is what makes all the diffrence. Make up is a way of taking care of yourself, of bringing out your creative side, and showing your individuality, because not all colours look the same on everyone. The same make up colours even applied with the same technique will make two people look very diffrent. It just has that power.
It's also been ingrained in us that make up and looking polished is part of a higher standard. You'd never let yourself go out of the house looking a tragic mess. And because I went to Catholic school from 7th to 12th grade, and was made to watch documentarys on the Holocaust and Hitler, and read the Diary of Anne Frank EVERY year, here's a little known fact for you. Women who were held in interment camps, corraled like sheep, would mix a drop of their water rations, and dirt to make a sort of makeshift eyeliner, they would pinch their cheeks to make them look like they were wearing rouge, and they would suck on their lips to make them red to give the illusion of lipstick. Why? Because it was a standards thing. Make up to some people may seem materialistic, but to others, it's a means to an end. It's something that becomes a part of you.

Now with that being said, do I agree with Haul Videos on youtube? yes, and no. Yes because people who do reviews on things, like Pinkiecharm (if you haven't guessed with how many times I mention her Miss Irene is onna my favorite people on youtube. ^^) it's a necessity. How are you going to know what to ask for if you dont know if she has it or not?
But there are some people who do brag. Like haul videos that span 3 and 4 videos at 10 minutes each or something of that sort, that's going a little to far in my own opinion. Then you really are just bragging. I personally like watching haul videos and really could care less if it's bragging or not. I'm just saying, you can tell who's bragging and who isn't.

And i've really just rambled all over the place with this haven't I? Well I'm really tired, and just started typing about something and kinda couldn't stop with just one topic so forgive me if this Tag turned into a makeup vlog of sorts... sorry about that. Lets see, about the Tag part, I tag whoever wants to do this. :) It's just the easiest way. ^^
