The stereotypical teenage girl comes to school with designer fashions, a Vera Bradley bag clutched in her hand and the inevitable pound of make-up that is caked on her face. The idea of make-up has grown immensely from a way to cover up a few pimples to completely remaking a young girl\u2019s face. <\/p>\n

For me, make-up is usually an \u2018if I have time\u2019 kind of thing, but I often feel the need to swipe on some mascara, just to make it look like I tried to fix myself up in the morning.<\/p>\n

However, if you look around the halls of DHS, you\u2019d see mascara, eyeliner, eye shadow, bronzer, lip gloss and tons of foundation on the face of nearly every girl around you.<\/p>\n

The views on the use of make-up and how much it should be used vary some, but a lot of girls have similar opinions on the topic.<\/p>\n

\u201cMake-up just makes girls feel more confident in themselves,\u201d junior Hyejoon Kim said. \u201cWe feel more comfortable and it\u2019s easier to approach people because we are less shy.\u201d<\/p>\n

For some, like Kim, make-up is just a \u2018safety belt.\u2019 It isn\u2019t a necessity. <\/p>\n

\u201cI wear make-up as an accessory; for fun,\u201d sophomore Sabrina Orbeck said. <\/p>\n

Kim agrees in the thought that using make-up for fun, or just to hide little blemishes is exactly what it was made for and that is what it was meant to be used as. She does have some concern for those who see it as an essential thing to have on them at all times, and I agree with her. Make-up should be used to enhance someone\u2019s natural beauty and boost their self-confidence, not create that confidence.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople use it to hide themselves,\u201d Kim said. \u201cKind of like a mask, and people act totally different, in my opinion, with that mask on.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pressure society has put on young girls to wear make-up has also had a great influence on the amount that they feel they need to wear. Television and, magazine ads and other types of advertisement show women of every age wearing make-up. I myself feel like if I don\u2019t put it on in the morning than people are going to assume that I was lazy to not put it on or that I woke up late and didn\u2019t have time to.<\/p>\n

This need to \u2018fit in\u2019 or meet societies standards has taken a role in every girl\u2019s life in one way or another whether she wears make-up or not. <\/p>\n

\u201cI only wear make-up on occasion but I see other girls wearing it all the time,\u201d junior Rebecca Johnson said. \u201cMake-up is just fine, but not if you cake it on.\u201d<\/p>\n

For those who do wear make up all the time, it becomes quite a hassle. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt takes me 20 minutes to do my make-up in the morning,\u201d Price said. \u201cMy make-up takes time because it is partially caffeinated.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pressures of wearing make-up will never go away but hopefully we, as a society, will learn to value more what teenage girls and women look like without make-up on. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
