What is beauty?

I have been reading this weeks literature and have become more aware than I think I have ever been about how the media plays tricks on women’s psyche to sell a product.  It is sad that so many fall victim to this.  I had fell victim to it when I was younger, but even though I am not immune to it now, I will say I am more aware.  I am what is known in popular magazines as a natural woman.  This means I don’t wear makeup, I prefer to go natural.  At most I will wear lip-gloss and some mascara, but that is about all.  I was walking thru Walmart and I couldn’t believe how many foundation and cover-ups I saw to give me a “natural” look.  It made me laugh a little.  The main reason I don’t wear makeup is I don’t know how to put it on and I refuse to look like a clown with too much on.  But if I did decide to wear it why would I put it on just to look “natural”?  Gimme a break.

    Interesting how they market it to be “natural,” isn’t it? Good posting!
