It has been a norm for ages among married women and unmarried ladies, they cannot do without wearing makeup. Some say it makes them feel confident, while others say they love exploring different looks as a way of expressing themselves.
Some women just tend to have harder times feeling good about themselves putting on make-up reminds them of the beauty that they possess. It makes them feel presentable, confident, and pretty.
Our reporter from New Nigerian Newspapers, Hauwa Adamu Kidah, went out to get the views of ladies on why they indulge in wearing makeup.
In her own opinion, Habiba Adamu, said the greatest benefit of wearing make-up is that, it makes ladies look younger and helps in concealing wrinkles, aging, spot and other blemishes.
“With the right make-up artist, you will never have to worry about your age showing. Infact, you will look younger than you have ever looked. Wearing make-up can give individuals confidence by making them feel more physically attractive and it gives women confidence and also makes them feel smarter,” she added.
According to Deborah Samuel, “Just the way that makeup can make you look older, it also has this uncanny ability to make you look younger as well, especially if you know those tips and tricks that can make you look younger with the help of some makeup.
“There are quite a few beauty products out there that can help in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on your skin, thereby, making you look much younger.
“With the help of makeup, you can easily cover up all those complexion-related issues that might be troubling you. From acne and dark circles to an uneven skin tone, make-up can help you effectively cover them all up.
“However, the only way you can achieve a seemingly clear complexion is by applying makeup correctly. This way, your skin will look clear and free from any blemishes and discolouration”.
Similarly, Hauwa Garba, said that “because I love makeup doesn’t mean it’s some sort of mask. I am comfortable walking around with no makeup, and do it pretty frequently. It’s not that I have to wear makeup; I just enjoy putting it on.
“I feel happy when I wear makeup. It makes me feel more put together and ready for the day. On days that I wear makeup, I feel more alert and ready to take on the day. I’m more motivated and clear-minded. It’s like wearing a real outfit, instead of walking around in sweats and slippers; you just feel better about yourself”.
According to Precious John, “Personally, I’m glad that makeup is easily accessible and accepted, because in my experience, it’s like a weapon. I’ve noticed that my confidence was higher, and this allowed me to do things I wouldn’t have done if I didn’t wear it. It’s also a happy pill because it makes me feel good about myself”.
