Why Wear Makeup?

Listen ladies, I am all for going au-naturale. Lots of us play sports and all of us are gorgeous enough to go sans-makeup. BUT, to start off this blog, I want to emphasize how much makeup can do for us. We are proud and beautiful women, but sometimes late night studying and playing (lots and lots of playing) can leave us looking less-than-perfect. Don't we all want to feel confident and sexy, not drab and tired? Makeup, at least for me, can help give me the confidence to ace that presentation, rock those stilettos and walk up to that cute guy and go "yeah, I saw you looking" :).

There are little things you can do to change your look, and that doesn't mean wearing a ton of eyeshadow, lipstick and foundation. It is what you do with your makeup, not how much you have on.

People have been wearing makeup for decades, and one thing has remained the same; less is more. 

We aren't all Lady Gaga or Nicki Minaj that can rock all that crazy makeup all the time, so finding out what works for your look and your style is the most important thing.

  I love you Nicki, but this is a little much for us everyday folk.

For those of you who aren't sure about makeup, its use, or application, I hope this blog will enlighten you and get you excited to get ready for a night on the town (or the row, as we here at Stanford like to call it) because I know that once you know how to use makeup correctly, there is no turning back. :)
