COSMETIC CRUELTY

 


There was a department store I occasionally went to, in which I always had to pass through the cosmetics department to get to the floor I was visiting.
If ever you needed a visual reminder of how to not look beautiful, then the cosmetics department was it.
Hideous, is the word I'd use, not beauty.
All the assistants were absolutely caked with make-up, and you could tell they'd been doing this for many years because the cosmetics chemicals had done so much damage to their faces.
The more mature ladies seemed to go as far as use the make-up to try and fill the crack & crease damage the cosmetics caused, similar to grouting with mortar.
You could see the true colour of their skin on their necks compared to their their faces which were thickly painted masks.
It had gone way beyond the idea of applying just a little touch of blusher.
I'd say the cosmetics industry is not a female's friend but their enemy.
All the gals should quit this habit. Stop falling for their fake advertising sales pitch. Stop following their guidelines. Ignore peer pressure. Stop hiding non-confidently behind the masks of make-up and be your beautiful self.
Be radiant and shine naturally.
