We here at Project Inspired want to guide and inspire teen girls to be true to themselves and to God. We want to show young girls how to be people of value and confidence – how to be your own best selves – through leading a Christian life. Who are we? We're a team of girls, like you. We edit the site, we post to social media, we hang out in the chat rooms and forums. We talk with you, we listen to you, and we love you!
I rarely wear makeup. I only wear it for special occasions or for a Halloween costume (I’m trying not to get too much into Halloween though–if I just think of it as the holiday invented less than 80 years ago for neighborhood kids, then it’s not that bad, even though a lot of it is based on ancient traditions).
Anyway, I think it’s sad that girls feel like they have to wear makeup every day to be pretty or attractive. A lot of times, I think people look better without their makeup. In movies and theater, I think people’s faces show up better with makeup, but in everyday life, it doesn’t seem necessary. Who are you trying to impress? I don’t feel like I need makeup to be pretty, I am pretty, and my mom tells me that all the time too (and my guy-friend told me I have beautiful eyes). My aunt treats makeup like a rite of passage for girls, but I think it’s just a little extra, for a certain occasion, I don’t know. All I know is that as long as I take care of myself the way I should, I don’t need theatrics to be beautiful everyday of my life, I am beautiful.
Sometimes I feel insecurities and I sometimes feel inadequate when I see girls who look like they put more effort in their appearance (clothes, hair, shoes, etc), but I have to remember that somewhere inside them, they must be feeling insecure themselves. I don’t like conforming to trends, and when I’m out of high school and on my own, I can present myself how I really want to and feel good doing so knowing God and Jesus are with me, and I probably won’t even remember what the popular girls were wearing! It’s be old news by then!
Besides, doing your makeup every day sounds like too much work anyway. 🙂
