I wish I didn't need makeup to be beautiful.
Who gives a **** that cover up brings out my natural skin tone?
Why wear eyeshadow if it makes you look like you have two black eyes?
What is the point of mascara?
Who is going to care that your eyelashes look longer than usual?
Who cares how red your lips are?
THEN THE HAIR AND CLOTHES!
Why damage your hair to the point it looks like hay?
Why put so much hairspray in to the point your hair feels like a rock?
Why spend so much much time trying to wear the cutest, sexiest, most revealing outfit?
Who do we have to impress?
Why do we have to impress everyone we come in contact with?
Why is the world so obsessed with looking good?
I hate having to put in so much effort to be beautiful but I do it anyways.
I cover up my pores,
give myself black eyes,
make my lashes longer,
burn my hair and dress fancy all for what?
The boy who doesn't know I exist?
The mean girls who won't talk bad about me now that I've impressed them?
It won't matter. They will still talk ****.
Myself?
Do I really need to go through all this effort to feel beautiful?
What's the point?
Have I really let society brainwash me into thinking that I won't be beautiful without makeup?
I hate putting myself through this beauty rollercoaster
yet I do it every single day and I have no idea why.
