Blog #5

          In earlier blog posts I had stated that make-up could improve a persons self esteem. With that statement I would also like to add that make-up is not the only way to make a person feel better about their-self. It is possible for a person to feel perfectly confident in their natural skin just like some feel confident with make-up on. Cultures use make-up in different  ways and there are different types of beautiful, which I will further discuss on thursday. Bullying has occurred toward some who did not wear make up which one issue that people were not aware of. My hypothesis is that I want everyone to see why make-up should be and is worn and solely that purpose. The facts and examples of culture, beauty and bullying will convince my audience, I still must acquire all of my sources before putting all of my work down in  writing. Make-up is not an enemy, make-up haters need to know that.

             For my annotated bibliography I chose to write about make up. Although I thought that I knew everything that there was to know about make up, I figured out that I still had some things to learn. A cool fact that I learned with my research is  that make up can determine whether a person is going to catch a ride or not. Another thing that i learned is that make up can take years off of a persons appearance. Makeup can also determine whether or not a person gets a job which is very important to know if job interviews have not gone as planned with women. I really enjoyed the simulation that the make up news paper had made. It used a house in comparison with a person. It stated that if a house is freshly painted on the outside with nice cut grass and clean windows as opposed to a house who's paint is peeling and not in good shape with lousy curb appeal it is going to be more approachable and have more buyers. The same goes for a woman. If she is polished, dressed and has her make up nice and neat, she is more approachable and hirable. I also learned that there was a such thing as makeup haters. People who deny the fact that using makeup can be beneficial at all are makeup haters. It was also noted that people who have self-esteem issues can be strongly benefited if they wear make up and apply it correctly. Why? because they actually can get rid of some of their deficiencies as perceived by other people. With this I close saying that I learned a lot by writing about this topic.
