the Magic of Make Up

Earlier today, a friend sent me a pic of a doll like girl named Kotakoti..she has flawless skin, bambi eyes, and soft hair.. I really love her face!
Then I went to google her and found out some photos of her BEFORE the flawless make up.


She's a pretty girl but she looks completely different with the perfect make up..
Then I went to search some of female celebrities I adore so much for their beauty..

Drew Barrymore

Not so great without make up, although she's still the same Drew Barrymore..

CL (a band member)

She looks HOT isn't she???
Well, scroll down..


The same person, CL..
Without make up


Now, I love CL, but sans makeup she looks … what’s the word..what’s the word…oh right…UGL…I mean…DIFFERENT.

More example, my beloved Tiffany Hwang, the flawless beauty.. (Member of band Girl's Generation)


Care to look up her appeareance BEFORE debut?

Although the ‘before’ photos are taken from Tiffany’s teenage years, no one goes through puberty and ends up looking like she does now (unless you’re Neville Longbottom). I mean, all I did during puberty was gain weight and get darker.

And please look up this pic below. Before and After picture, taken from a popular Taiwanese makeup show. It is a prime example of how makeup can drastically change a woman’s appearance.


I once heard that in a certain Asian society, an important piece of advice that mothers often give to their sons is to take their girlfriend swimming at some point in the relationship. Studies from gossip circles have shown that such precautions significantly reduce the likelihood of a heart attack after the couple is married. Why is this so? The answer lies in the power of makeup.
Although one third of me feels ill at the objectification of these women and the other third feels indignant at their narcism, the rest of me is screaming: ‘TEACH ME HOW TO DO THIS! TEACH ME!!!’ I do know how to apply make up, but I want to be looking as gorgeous as these women above.

Now you’re probably thinking WTF! Makeup is totally distorting the hunting ground and making victims out of innocent men! And I agree, to an extent. On the other hand though, I believe that men who are superficial enough to like a woman for her looks alone, probably deserve to be ‘tricked’ as such.

Oh, one more picture for the bonus
