Butterfly, yea get you a Clarisonic girl, you will not regret it!
Ultimately, I believe that if we are wearing makeup, we should be doing it strictly because we want to, and not because we think we have to do it out of obligation to other people. I started hearing a certain theme in a couple of the posters that seemed to say that women wore makeup to please other people--ladies, I personally have been delivered from folks! Praise God!
There ain't nothing that I do or don't do to satisfy folks, 'cause folks are never satisfied regardless of what I do!
Makeup is a funny thing in the Black community...I can remember growing up, I would experiment with it as a teen...now my girlfriends, and most girls in my 'hood (Queens, NY) weren't into much makeup, it was almost a taboo for some of them. But when I went to my 50% white H.S., well then it was different, girls there were rocking all kinds of crazy 80's makeup!
The point is, I was fascinated with it, but my peers at home weren't feelin me. I put it on 'cause I liked it.
Moral of the story, Do YOU! It's not about pleasing men, being accepted or not accepted. Folks are gonna talk, maybelline or no maybelline, so if maybellline is what you want to put on at 7 AM on your way to work, help yourself! But keep it all in balance. As it has been stated, the inside is where your beauty is really coming from. What you do to your hair and put on your face is simply the finishing touch.
