Sola fide, Sola gratia.

According to researchers, a third of women wear make-up every time they go out – even if they’re only shopping for groceries.

Six out of ten wouldn’t consider going to work without it – and almost half of all women say they prefer wearing cosmetics than going bare-faced.
‘Wearing and buying cosmetics is not about vanity. It’s about giving a woman confidence to succeed in every area of their life,’
‘Make-up can help with a sense of self-respect. The reality is that we do judge people by how they look, and this can be especially important for women in business who often need to appear professional. But there is another side to it.
‘If the reason for wearing make-up lies in the woman feeling worried that people will judge her for the way she looks rather than who she is, that’s a problem that needs to be addressed.’
More than a third of the 3,000 polled were convinced their other half would not have been attracted to them had they not been wearing make-up when they met
.
And even as the relationship progresses, they’re not convinced that natural beauty is enough.

As a female I have to admit that this is evidently true.
I still hesistates at the thought of leaving the house without any make up on.
It makes me feel very vulnerable.
Because Im risking the chances of being mocked at by the public.
You might think that this is rather ridiculous but when I was younger, I was mocked at more than once from strangers, people I dont even know of.
It dealt a huge blow on my esteem and I was very insecure and very cautious of people for the longest period of time.
(It got so bad I feel ashamed to even look into the eyes of the people talking to me.)
As I grew up, I started learning how to dress up and how to enhance my looks using make up.
Started reading magazines like Cleo and started researching on the web on fashion.
And that was it. My first step towards building my self-confidence.
As the years go by, I changed by leaps and bounds.
Not just in looks but in character as well.
I am now able to communicate with others without feeling like a lowly , undeserving creature.
I have a fair share of admirers.
I had a boyfriend.(Both of which I thought I would never have.)
But i realised, i still have a small part of it that remains in the past.
And it haunts me.
Slowly, Ive learnt to grow to love myself.
Bit by bit.
I learnt that people who matters dont mind and people who minds dont matter.
And if people mock at you for how you look, dont let them get to you.
Cos they dont matter and you dont have to bother.
You know you are way better than what they think of you.
You are not perfect but so are they.
Start loving yourself.
