I have always been amazed at the incredible transformation
of drag queens, Rupaul pioneered the incredibly beautiful face of drag queens.
His show drag race, brought us into the world of makeup and
transformations. Contouring has always
been a drag queens secret to getting a look that made everyone say, you got
your face “BEAT”! But what does this phrase mean. Urban dictionary says that it’s
when the makeup applied to a person's face is so powerful and amazing that it
makes them look truly stunning. “Beat” can also be used to describe any variety
of things, not just one's face. The term is popular among make up enthusiasts
and the gay community. I can remember when Oprah shared her makeup tips and
revealed that she slimmed her nose by using contours. This incredible tool is used
by some of the most Gorgeous drag queens have also been utilized by Hollywood. Stars
like Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj and Kim Kardashian have mastered the art! We
have watched plain canvasses turn into some of the most beautiful women in the
world. So it’s, not surprising that this has become an everyday occurrence,
with everyday people. Make up is an enhancement,
like weave I think many people use it to exemplify what they already have, but
can it also be used as a con? I mean really, so what if you use make up to hide
blemishes, make your nose smaller, hide the dark circles under your eyes, make
your eyes “chinky”, increase the size of your lips, make your lips smaller,
change the shape of your face………..and even change the color of your skin. Is that really a crime? With this new contouring
technique, woman have taken the “beating of the face” to a whole new level. Let’s look at some individuals who have
masterfully change how they look.
Do you feel that this is deceitful, or just plain art.
I can see how some would find it deceitful, but I get wanting to get that look of great skin, etc. i say do what makes you feel good.
ReplyDeleteSometimes we have to stop and put yourself in a persons shoes. What would you do? Insurance doesn't cover dermatology. And dermatologists are extremely expensive. How confident would you be walking around feeling exposed?
ReplyDeleteMakeup can be good, but using it without ever addressing the issues you're covering up seems to ultimately defeat the purpose. Even if you attract someone with it, you can't wear the stuff 24/7 and what if they don't like what's underneath? Not all skin care regimens are expensive and when you are spending that much on cosmetics when you could be correcting the problem, it seems to become a 'wash.' Pun intended.
