Why do women wear make up?

I thought about it for awhile and i figured out this.

1) It is really an appearance enhancement thing = vain
2) Interest in colours
3) Hide insecurities (Edwin's point of view)
4) "peer pressure" from magazines
5) Masking inperfections aka face flaws

Actually the list could just go on and on. Why do we pluck our eyebrows, go for manicures, pedicures, facial, rebonding, perming, perm our eye lashes, wear falsies, buy push up bras etc etc etc. Some women dress up because when you look good, you feel good. Some women dress up for their men and some women dress up to be admired by men and women. So the world is a stage to showcase their enhanced and "not so natural" beauty. Not many women are natural born beauties and if make-up can do some enhancement, why not? Imagine this, a plain looking gal walks into a room, with really thick and shapeless eye brows, would men bother looking? Then again, if she doesn't really care that she is not a natural beauty or equates looking good to feeling good, then it's fine. Some girls just want attention, lotsa atention...so this probably means make-up, low cut tops, short skirts and any other ways to get attention...including being loud.

Then again, there are women who never leave home without make up...these are probably very insecure women...maybe they don't feel pretty and even ugly without the mask.....this would be a mental thing. Some women do all these things deemed unneccessary by men because we feel pampered when there is someone fussing over our nails, eye brows, hair, lashes and whatever. Touch is a wonderful thing..like hugs and kisses *smuakz* Don't really care if men are admiring, but of cos the attention given is an ego booster, feeling good about yourself is more important. And life can be boring if we don't do all these girly things with another gal pal to bond hahaha

Almost all the men i "interviewed" prefer natural beauty.
- no need put so much make up la, like wayang
- aiyah who will see your nails
- wear short skirt can liao ma
- show "half cup" lo
- simple better
- natural beauty is best la

Strange to say, these are the very same men who gawk at women walking around with make up and a well groomed face. I have such a typical man at home..hor JFK?

To conclude, it's really a personal choice la...and actually, these are the things that make women intrguing hahaha the men that i "interviewed" are all not metrosexual men. These are typical MEN. I would like to think of it this way...you like to look at those nice and expensive looking french cuisines but you prefer eating char kuey tiao or wanton mee heehee *Men like fresh meat* Rubes ;)

Jervis, Alex and Jeremy will probably understand why women go through all the hassles hahaha

Me, i love MAKE UP because it makes women interesting and feminine ;)
