Yasss!! My thoughts are true beauty comes from within. I'm a minimalist with makeup more so because I don't know how to beat my face for the Gods. But the days that I do wear it ironically are to hide how I'm feeling or that I stayed up late the night before. It helps mask our insecurities and gives us a literal mask to feel beautiful from the outside. We garner so much more attention when we are wearing makeup, so I understand how it can be addictive. We all love compliments :)
Oh wow... another important point made . Make-up actually hides ALOT. And I have to admit there are days I've also used it to hide sadness or stress... thanks for your comment @tigiriseye.
