In early twenties I was starting to more interest with make up, in second or third year of senior high school first make up product I like is eyeliner and sometimes using baby powder. In early year of university my interest on make up level up to lipcream/lipstick and facepowder, then to blush and macara (actually I don't have any blush product so I only use my lipstick then upgrade using eyeshadow) my interest still level up to the point I actually buy an eyeshadow pallet. Every time I am in mood to dress up I will do my makeup, or when I hangout, go to campus and special occasions I'll using makeup.
E'id Mubarak last month when I at relative house one of my aunts said. "You became beautiful now you start using makeup" It is compliment yet somehow I feel insulted. Those words then somehow opening my eyes. I realize something that I am not beautiful according people standard. I knew it long time ago. Therefore, I admit that I was obsess to become beautiful. I actually ashamed to say to the other that I'm obsess to become beautiful, because I fee I am not beautiful. My mind was shallow at that time. My beauty standard is having white skin. So in senior high school I start taking care of my skin, I start using face mask, sunscreen, moisturizer which is contain whitening effect. Every items that claim will make my skin white I try it. Fortunately, my shallow standard didn't drive me to the point using harmful skin care which is usually contain hydroquinone or mercury, skin care that according other people review and result in real life proven works because I doubt of its safety. Can you imagine if you use it your skin will become white and pale and flwaless while your body still tan, then if you aren't using it your skin will became the same color (and maybe more worse) as before use it just inshort period of time.
I admit that I want became beautiful so I will attract opposite sex, it start when I was in junior high school. Actually I am quite envy of others, well not envy for long period just for a moment sometimes when talking about boys especially about crush or boyfriends. I envy with the others having boyfriend or male attract to them. I also want relationship of boyfriend-girlfriend. I want male attract to me so I feel beautiful. But, now I realize how shallow my though, how narrow minded I am. I also re-thinking why I want a boyfriend, is it because I want to love and be loved or is it because I want taking of advantages of having boyfriend? you know free ride, free food something like that. Hahaha
I love makeup even though all of my interest start because my narrow minded but I know I'm using make up for my own satisfy now. I use it because I love makeup and I want to do experiment using make up. Eid Mubarok last month make me realize that, I know I am not beautiful in people standard but I am beautiful in my standard and it is enough as long as my own self feeling that I am beautiful. I won't deny it is nice when people giving praises, but I am not someone who easily flattered. Well, as for male I won't focusing to them anymore, I won't desperate, daydreaming for having boyfriend and I won't active seek for them. I just will enjoy my times as usually. Since I know what I am looking is someone who make me comfortable when I am with that person not someone who I NEED to love.
