True Beauty Is Never Covered with Any Concealer
Opening up my newly subscribed Cosmopolitan Magazine, it just dawned on me that grooming is one of creation’s natural instincts, and I say creation, because even the simple pants mange to produce flowers just to attract insects for pollination. Of course, men can never be exempted from this naturalistic ritual.
Aiming to get a lifetime partner, people do everything possible in order to be attractive towards their prospects, and if their own bodies lack attractiveness, they resort to employing all external stuff that would transform their unattractive bodies into wonderful sites to behold.
And this external stuff that I’m talking about may simply be called make-up.
But beautify is relative matter. As the saying goes, “beauty is in the eyes of the beholder” men prefers women with not so much exposure, but somehow gives a little bit of mystery and an aura of beauty, which attracts us to seek for more.
Say, at the beginning of the new millennium, I’ve noticed a trend among women to make their faces seem to glitter like innocent angels, while some others would prefer applying heavy eye shades to make them look stunning. Such styles are already long outdated, and some critical eyes might not see angels or raccoons any longer but exposed resurrected zombies instead.
But what I think is more important in trending make up is not the time factor, but rather, the perception of persons who are practically the rot cause why women do their faces. And I’m talking about the guys this time.
I chanced upon a Cosmopolitan Magazine article entitled “Guys’ Secret Beauty Thoughts.” The article Cosmopolitan Magazine presents seven make up points a man may (or may not) consider as attractive for girls – from mascara to lipstick, to blush-ons, to foundation. I find it entertaining to note that what has been written there is something that I personally believe – me, who am a man who has swooned over a number of women of different shapes, sizes, colors, and what-nots.
And if I may squeeze in my own words what I’ve read from the article, I have to say that we guys never want to date Barbie Dolls ever in our lives – or perhaps I’m not for stunning women, and what I’ve just said is true for men.
I am turned off by women who wear heavy make up as if there’s already no tomorrow, and they have dumped in all the make up they had in their kits for they would never use it again. Consequently, I drool over ladies who exude a certain natural glow, those who have learned to forgo make up and considered themselves as naturally endowed with all the beauty in this world.
Cosmopolitan magazine has that kind of magic which makes women have that natural glow, not too heavy just right. Though, I think the models should leave guys some things left for the imagination, like not too much flesh exposure, but rather a highlight on the face, which makes us think what is more in the inside.
Perhaps that is really the mark of true beauty – true beauty that can only be achieved from within. Unfortunately, Cosmopolitan Magazine is one thing that takes a lot of personal acceptance and understanding.
