It's almost a shame that no matter what anyone like me says about the depth of a person being their true beauty, the media continues to bombard everyone with fashion models, movie and TV celebrities and all the other beautiful people to fool us into believing fake is real.
Most people in the public eye tend to use cosmetics, makeup, chemicals and even surgery to create their attractive masks in an attempt to fool us all into thinking how wonderful they all look.
Luckily, they can fool some of the people some of the time...
The problem is they also manage to fool most of the people most of the time!
However, I'm not one of them! I can tell a fake makeover from a dozen paces and I can also tell a fake person just by the energy they give out!
I'll accept that many people use cosmetics to make themselves look better more out of habit than anything else. I'm not a hard-liner in that respect. If you want to enhance your look a little with some light application of make-up, go right ahead!
It's only fair to make use of something like concealer to cover up those unsightly blemishes that would otherwise leave you feeling self-conscious. And girls do look more appealing with longer, prominent eyelashes!
Oh, and there's lipstick to add to that look. Mustn't forget that!
I will concede that much. A girl can look really good with just a little makeup in the right places.
What does make me cringe a bit is when some girls go way over the top with their makeup and end up looking like department store mannequins!
Too much!
One thing that all the cosmetics and makeovers in the world cannot match is when a person is truly beautiful on the inside.
Inner beauty stems from having a really nice personality, being happy and having a positive outlook on life coupled with a firm but humble approach to people. You probably know some people like that.
These are the people that you always feel comfortable and relaxed when in their presence. They make you feel good and bring you up if you're feeling down.
It doesn't matter much what their outward appearance is like (to a certain extent), because their beauty comes from inside and is reflected in their face, manner and demeanor. People that are nice on the inside are generally pleasant and nice on the outside too.
They may not look like made-up supermodels and they probably wouldn't want to in any case!
But their smile will light up their face and radiate happiness out to everyone in their presence. This is inner beauty that cannot be faked!
So while there is a place in this world for cosmetics and beauty products, they should really be there to be used lightly to enhance a look, rather than to create a false one.
True beauty comes from the inside and reflects outward. It is so much more than just an attempt to satisfy one of our five senses, sight.
It also gets picked up by our other senses as well as that sixth sense that is a deep knowing far beyond the capability of the other five senses to interpret or decode.
When you're beautiful on the inside, the outside will take care of itself adequately enough!
