ROYAL BLUSH

Every woman wants to look their royal best. As little girls, we used to dream of becoming a princess or to look like Barbie when we grow up. We were delighted to watch our moms apply make-up and secretly tried them out when they were not looking. Growing up we get to learn more about make-up in fashion magazines with your girly girl friends. Experiments on make-up would be limited to compact face powder, some lip balm, an eyelash curler and a touch of clear mascara (if you had the allowance to spare) as wearing a little more obvious trace of cosmetics such as blush was not exactly welcome in schools. Although not all high school girls would be obsessed about being able to wear make-up, the desire to look and feel good and accepted has always been there in their hearts. Simple proof would be the fuss over a stubborn zit that mysteriously appears out of nowhere on prom night.

Fast forward to college and graduating to be part of the workforce where we were supposed to put on a little more make-up to look presentable, some women never graduate from the face powder-lip balm routine. On the other end, some would go overboard and slap on purple eyeshadow, dark eyeliner and mascara, a bright lipstick, and heavy blush on top of foundation that’s too light for their natural color and end up looking like a circus clown in broad daylight. Every woman wants to look good but most women are confused and either try all that there is out there to look pretty or never venture to try anything at all because it seems too complicated. Who could blame them? With the boom of the beauty industry with the countless spas, health clubs, makeup brands and counters and salons that have mushroomed all over the city it could really be overwhelming for both the experienced and the late-bloomers in this field.
