An object that I really dislike is makeup. The reason I dislike it is because it is very messy and I think unnecessary. I think there is nothing better then a women's natural beauty. I understand that at times makeup may be needed for jobs, television, modeling, work, or any other personal or special reason but some people completely over do it. There is no reason a person should have on so much makeup that you can see a significant color difference between the person's neck and face. When I asked a couple of friends why they wore makeup almost all of them said for confidence. Some of them believe that without it they are ugly or less attractive. It has become a habit in is now a part of their daily routine when getting themselves together in the morning.
Makeup has come a long way. Back in the 1880's paleness was considered good and makeup was frowned down upon and considered a big no no. The only people that were allowed to wear it was actress and that was strictly for work. It wasn't until 1886, when Harriet Hubbard Ayer, started promoting the use of face creams, and various anti-aging products. Before then majority of the products available were either chemically dubious or could be found in the kitchen. Women use to use burnt matches to darken their eyes, berries to stain their lips, and young boys urine to fade their freckles.
Today makeup has a big effect on culture. There are now makeup ads like Cover Girl influencing the ideology of people into thinking they need makeup in order to get a celebrity or hollywood look. It also influence people into buying certain products or makes them believe that one products is better then the other. Makeup has gone so far as to cater to all the different races/shades of women. Women can now buy makeup that is suppose to "work better" for their skin complexion whether its white, light, or dark. Women can even find makeup/mac stores, and mac counters in the mall where women can go to get their makeup done.
There are a lot of reasons why women wear make and there are a lot of reasons why they shouldn't. There are a lot of harmful effects of makeup the very few women know about. They solely go by what the product says or by what they see on television. The makers of cosmetic products only tell the good. They won't tell you that makeup has a link to different kinds of cancer the main one being breast cancer. It also causes aging of the skin and clogs your pores. Why do you think certain makeup effect different people? The reason is because the chemicals used the different types of makeup.
