Not Wearing Makeup is Sexy
There is a lot of things about todayโs society and media images that I have grown to resent. I resent the message that it is okay for women to do crazy things to their bodies like booty injections, corset sculpting, huge breast implants, and lip injections. I resent the idea that it is okay for women to refer to themselves as bitches in an effort to empower themselves by turning a word that is derogatory and demeaning for the sake of empowerment and upliftment. Finally, I resent the โmascara effectโ of suggesting that in order to be seen or validated that you have to be โonโ by wearing stiletto heels, wear makeup, and always having your hair done. Iโm talking about dressing up just to go to the corner AM/PM corner store for some Now and Laterโs and Chiko-Sticks. Donโt even get me started on women who takes selfies every damn day with something really revealing on, half or fully naked.
I meanโฆDAMN IT OKAY! WE KNOW YOUR CUTE AND HAVE BOOBS! DO WE NEED TO SEE YOUR NAKED ASS BODY, BIG ASS CHEEKS, OR FACE ALL THE TIME? NO!
Okay, I had to get that out. But like really, it gets on my damn nerves. Show me something of substance or somewhat intriguing aside from your ass! This is the part of social media I absolutely canโt stand. Social media has provided the world a bigger Red Solo cup so they can get more drunk off of vanity. We are just playing beer pong of attention-seeking. Now this is all my opinion and you most certainly donโt have to believe me, but it is how I see it.
Now, I am not saying that there is anything wrong with having self-esteem, looking cute, and taking a cute selfie of yourself every now and then. Hell there are times I wear my stilettos, buy me a cute lace front wig because I want to try a different look, and take a cute selfie but it isnโt everyday and it isnโt to grab attention toward myself or the private things about myself like my ass, boobs, or sex appeal. I keep all that stuff for my hubby, not the rest of the world. There are a few exceptions that I do support and that is mostly for women who may be posting results of working out and getting healthier. I love those pics because they give me hope. But damn it, donโt post a pic of yourself everyday because I will not be following you. I mean come on, its annoying. Now I know that I may sound like a hater in some aspect and that is not the case. I love women. I love the sexiness of women. I love the confidence of women. I am not afraid to admit if I see an attractive woman that I may check out her entire body for inspiration. Yes. I am very comfortable in my sexuality to say that I have glanced at a womanโs ass before and if you say that you have never looked at another womanโs ass your lying. We all have done it and it is okay to admit it.
I simply want to send a message to women that as sexy as it seems to put a bunch of gunk on your face and wear shoes that you can barely walk in, it is just as sexy to just be yourself and embrace your natural beauty. That means your natural hair and your natural face without the manipulation of makeup. Every dimple, stretch mark, birthmark, blemish, and black head is where it should be. Now we all have our insecurities (I know I do) and that is what makes us use those artificial supplements to cover up what we have difficulty facing every day. There is nothing wrong with doing things to make you feel good, but when you start to allow the makeup and the things that you wear to be all there is to your identity, that is when it is an issue. I feel if you canโt be comfortable in your own skin and canโt stay off of social media for more than 1-2 days then you have to question who you think you are.
Thatโs the thing about social media! People only show you pieces of their life and not show the entire picture. If you are going to post pictures about yourself, let me see you when you wake up and when your made up. Show me all of you. When I say when you make up I donโt mean put on some concealer first and then show me your pretty self. Iโm talking I want to smell your morning breath through your pictures. Be real! To me, not wearing makeup is being real and it shows courage that you are not afraid to step out to the world and say โThis is me. Take it or leave itโ. When you see women who are drop dead gorgeous and they are all done up, donโt go judging yourself thinking you are not pretty enough or gorgeous enough because you donโt look like them. Donโt internalize what someone else is projecting on the outside because you donโt know their struggles or life story. The purpose of this blog is to let women know that you are beautiful without you make up and I think we should make this day #nomakeupday! If you are down with it, take a picture of yourself without makeup and tag me in it on Instagram @brownsugarfoodblogger and put the hashtag #nomakeupday! Letโs begin to take real selfies and not beautiful fake ones!
