Make-up is fun and makes you look fantastic, if done right. I wear make-up almost everyday. I just find it absolutely fascinating to see how a woman is treated differently when she's wearing make-up as opposed to when she's not, and how make-up is viewed on men as well. A woman wearing make-up will be looked at far more than one not wearing make-up. And the type of make-up a woman wears does mark her place in the hierarchy of her peers. I mean, in high school I could tell exactly what clique a girl belonged to by the make-up she wore, without even bothering to look at her clothes.
And I also find it interesting, as I said before, that women put so much effort and money into make-up. After all, it takes at the absolute least ten minutes for me to put on my make-up. That's ten minutes I could have spent doing something else. And make-up can be darn expensive, too, especially when you go for the good stuff. Every time I buy make-up, I think about the manga I could have bought instead. (LOL) I read a poem one time, written by a woman with two teengage children, a girl and a boy. She wrote about how her daughter would get up at six thirty in the morning to shower, do her hair, and put on her make-up. The brother would get up at seven thirty and just get dressed. Then the daughter would go to sleep at eleven, but the son would be up to one in the morning because he'd been working out all afternoon and needed to get his homework. It was such a good poem, contrasting the female and male experience.
