Why women do makeup? Why doesn't men (usually) do the same? It's interesting that women's makeup isn't only for making them look attractive and pretty, as widely recognized. In fact makeup is a public, social requirement, just like a fair attire. I can't imagine for example the First Lady or any other responsible women no matter what their occupation is, appear in the public or at their office without makeup. Of course men also does their grooming (hair-styling and beard-care, or skin-puryfying) and in that sense the requirement for women and men in public are the same; to be tidy, clean, pleasant in appearance. But women's makeup can carry more than that. Their skill of bringing beauty out of their natural-born face may lead to confidence, sense of protection maybe, and enables them to play a role, and change that role through the choice of their makeup (i.e, red lip, dark eye, healthy cheek, long eye-lush, or totally colorless?). In short, it gives a power, dignity, elegance for women to stand out.
No doubt about it, but I guess only thing that women sometimes might wonder is the definition of beauty. Makeup creates fantastic beauty, but would we come to the point where women really look beautiful with their own face with no makeup, just as children and wild animals never need it to be fine.
