In present times, a lot of people tend to wear makeup every day. This is because it makes them feel good about themselves and builds a sense of confidence to take on the World.

Men and Women can wear makeup for different reasons and there’s nothing wrong with it. Similarly, there’s nothing wrong with people who choose to not wear it at all. Now, because people who choose not to wear makeup, might seem to be pretty comfortable and confident in their skin, it doesn’t mean that people who wear makeup aren’t confident. In fact, in most of the cases they are more confident.

It’s just a matter of choice. And either way, it still makes them beautiful!

Why Do People Wear Makeup?

Different people wear makeup for different reasons. Some wear it to gain that extra confidence, while some wear it to hide their flaws, which hampers their confidence.

Different people have different reasons for wearing makeup, here are some of the common reasons why people wear makeup-

  • Cover up their flaws like acne marks, blemishes, etc
  • Cover their uneven skin tone
  • Express themselves
  • Feel more confident

And somehow, even though it may not appear on the outside, the way women wear their makeup, speaks something about their personality. Makeup to a certain extent can even change the way you see yourself, for instance, putting on red lipstick can instantly make you go from a timid little girl to looking like a bold, bada** woman!

However, this should not be the case. Your personality shouldn’t be dependent on what makeup you wear. You should be feeling confident with or without makeup. Makeup should only enhance your confidence and not be the sole reason for it. Little girls, in their teens, these days don’t know what to do without makeup. They say they aren’t confident without it. That’s not how it should be. Being in an age where your self-esteem is building up, it is important to teach them to be comfortable and confident in their skin.

Research has also stated that the kind of makeup you wear can vary depending on your mood. It can also affect your mood. Different choices say different things about your personality.

Here’s How You Can Choose Makeup According To Your Personality-

  • If you’re someone who has their own ideologies and eccentric beliefs- You can rock any makeup look that you choose to go with. If needed, you can choose to go with a matte, dewy look with a subtle pink shade for your lips.
  • If you tend to be pretty versatile and intuitive- You can go with silvers and rose golds that can enhance your natural features. You can also experiment with highlighters and bring out that extra glow on your dewy makeup face.
  • If you’re fierce and bold- You can choose to go with bold dramatic eyes, with shades of orange or red on your lips. It’s a perfect look to bring out the feisty person that you are within.
  • If you’re strong- willed and naturally pretty- You can team up berry shades with natural blush to complete your look that will reflect your strength, out and about.
  • If you’re fun, lively, and a little bit unconventional- you can play with all sorts of vibrant colours that you like. Bold colours will truly reflect your nature and the fun person that you are.
  • If you’re sensitive and caring- You can go for a silver look and subtle pink stained lips for your inner moonlight reflecting outside, on your face!
  • If you’re bold and beautiful- You can pair your makeup with dark shades of lipstick with a good amount of mascara to complete your look.
  • If you’re social bee of your group- You can never go wrong with a hint of red on your lips with some light shade eye shadow. And for the night, you can opt for some metallics for your eyes to complete your look.
  • If you’re a classic at heart- You can opt for browns and nudes for your lips with a hint of smokey eyes and highlighted features.

What Does Your Makeup Reveal About Your Personality?

  • Bold Eyes- Stands for making a statement. If you’re someone who wants to let people know who you are and what you bring to the table, a bold, eyeliner look is for you. You can pair it up with a subtle pink lipstick, giving an impression of being sure of yourself.
  • Stained lips- You are pretty confident about your decisions and are not afraid to face the consequences. Your face is perfectly matched with a little colour on your cheeks to enhance those features and make you look like you know what you’ve got! After all, those perfect lips never hurt anybody!!
  • Black Lashes And Vamp Lips- This again states that you’re not someone who’s going to be laid back and wait for the opportunity to come around. You know who you are and what you’ve got, so why wait, when you can go and get it yourself. You have this love for drama in your life and why not? I mean, who doesn’t like drama???
  • No- makeup, makeup look- This doesn’t mean that people can take you lightly. Because you wear a very natural look, it means that you’re an easy-going person. You don’t like being told what to do. You have your own opinions about things and you like to do things your way. One that’s always there when someone needs them.

Here’s probably almost everything you need to know about makeup looks and your personality. Though we love some tint of colour, it’s absolutely fine to not like makeup or find it exhausting. What matters is you love yourself with and without it. You shouldn’t feel implied to wear makeup just because your friends are wearing it. You can choose to wear it because it gives your extra* confidence, but we still find you pretty nonetheless! (*No terms and conditions apply!)
