The Beauty Industry Has A Way of making You feel less Beautiful.
However much 'Make Up' salespeople/spokespeople will tell you or say to you how their way or product will boost your self-confidence or make you look, and THEN feel better, the truth is- you are giving away your power, and making THEM look better by supporting their industry by using and inevitably advertising these ‘services’ and products.
If you think Making Up makes you look more beautiful, you're wrong. You were beautiful all along! You are a piece of the universe, let that beauty shine though. Represent that!
I believe that true beauty comes from adhering to Mother Nature’s laws within one’s lifestyle, and sickness is what stems from violating them. S-ickness is not attractive. Being healthy and fit for sex (reproduction), is!
Airbrushing, tanning, fried hair, makeup enhancement, false eyelashes, plastic surgery and botox are all ways to hide away the detriment of your physical- or, your natural beauty ...trying to stick with the status quo. They are ways to escape (self-)judgement. Why do we accept and allow the suppression of our truth within ourselves and from others?
What is this abuse?
Simply put, Fear – of Loss, Change, and of being Embarrassed, or as I like to call it- ‘I’m Bare Assed!’ lol.
Babe.. let's face it.
You was born naked!
You was born naked!
Anyways, last night I was thinking about what to write, and because I don’t believe in most of what we are lead to do and believe by corporations, the government, the media, and society- I thought I would write a blog post about Making Up (For 'Shortcomings') and how it is oppressing people, ruining people’s lives, and relationships with and as other people.
My thought was something like this:
Now my thought also includes:If we wear makeup and believe it makes us beautiful, and make others believe it ‘makes us’ beautiful- then who are we to ourselves and others when we take it off?
If we believe we are less without, or more with Make Up, we forget that we are all Equal and One, with and as the physical- not Ego! You can make yourself up to be more, but in the process you are putting others (and yourself essentially), underneath your ego- which is abuse.
If we created a situation where when we put on makeup we are more, then when we take it off of course we become less than with the makeup, or so we think.
Sadly, men and women alike are both conditioned by these corporations into believing that makeup makes us look better.
Fuck that, though.
Fuck conditioning.
I don't care what other people think.
It's so irrelevant- and limiting.
I'ma just do what I wanna do.
Q: What kind of relationships do you create when you yourself and those around you believe that you look more beautiful with makeup slathered on your face than with no makeup at all?
A: Relationships where you feel insecure, and where your partner, family and friends all believe in the beauty of your makeup rather then the beauty that is you alone.
Total prison if you ask me. Total shit-hole of a life. No room for true self-expression.
I don’t know about you, but I just can’t accept someone telling me that I should go put on some makeup to look better.
It’s not going to change who I am, and I’m not going to do it. I know that without the makeup I am more beautiful- It’s just that most people are conditioned into believing that Makeup is beauty, Eyeliner is beauty, Mascara is beauty, Lipstick is beauty, Blush is beauty, Face Contouring is beauty, Plastic Surgery is beauty, Botox is beauty, Bed tanning is beauty, False Eyelashes are beauty, Concealer is beauty, ‘Stylish Hair’ is beauty, and Colored Contacts are ‘beauty‘… How fucked are we?
What about Self-Acceptance? Self-Honesty? What about the beauty that shines out from your soul?
What about You?
From my experience, all that fake shit attracts more fake shit. You end up living a fake lie for a life.
Now, if you’d rather attract the good things in life, Be Yourself. Be-You-To-Full. If you accept yourself alone, that is enough. Don’t buy into what the beauty industry is selling to you, ’cause no matter which way you slice it, if it isn’t you, it isn’t real. Real is beautiful. Are you for real?
Clearly these people are putting on a fake face, and for what? Sometimes I wonder if people even know how to be BEautiful anymore. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! BELIEVE IN YOURSELF! Take the time to get to know the real you, without the mask on... You are not strictly limited to how you look/appear, by the way.
To continue, nearly everyone knows that (most) makeup companies test on animals, which is another reason I abstain from using makeup and giving people the wrong idea about what my stance is on it. Because I care. I love bunny rabbits, cats, dogs — you name it. Below is a complete list of the companies who test on animals. Boycott much?
This list includes but is not limited to; Burt's Bees, Urban Decay (L’Oreal), Yves Saint Laurent (L’Oreal), Almay (Revlon), American Beauty (Estee Lauder), Avon Products Inc., Bobbi Brown (Estee Lauder), Chapstick (Pfizer), Estee Lauder, L’Oreal USA, Lancome (L’Oreal), M.A.C. Cosmetics (Estee Lauder), Mary Kay, Maybelline (L’Oreal), Revlon, Shu Uemura (L’Oreal), and Sinful Colors (Revlon).
Stop abusing animals, Stop abusing others, Stop abusing
yourself.
We are all one and equal here, the universal language is not words, is not thoughts, that is separation from who you really are- as the universe, and as love. You are love. Support all by accepting yourself, and toss that makeup for god’s sake. You are perfect. Let it Shine through.
