Some time ago, my younger sister asked me to list down the things that made me happy. It's an interesting question because nobody ever asked me that question before. I began to list down some things that I think that would make me happy. The list includes, from playing with my dogs to buying new makeup.
After that encounter, I began to wonder the relationship women have between cosmetics and happiness. Does the makeup itself is what makes women happy or the idea that they'd looked better after applying it that makes them happy? I think most women would agree to the latter.For me, makeup gives physical and psychological effects that makes women happy . If enough makeup is applied correctly ,chances are it could enhance ones physical appearance and maybe becoming more attractive. Psychologically, the idea of being presentable makes women feel much better with themselves thus gaining more confident . Being happy I think, entails being loved and appreciated by others or one's self. For example, one time somebody complemented that my eyes were nice. It made me happy because I never realize that people could actually see or notice my eyeshadow behind my thick black rimmed eyeglasses. Yes, positive reinforcements always makes me happy. If I follow that logic above then the reason why many feel happiness when they purchase a new makeup is because they like that version of themselves better when they are wearing cosmetics and could be that they got something new too.
What about those makeup addict? Isn't it too much of something is bad for you? There's always limitations in life but as long as a person can afford it and it makes them happy then why not? If you can't afford them , don't dismay and try singing " My Favorite Things" from the sound of music then try to revised the lyrics and list down all the things that makes you happy.
