Not too long ago, a columnist in a local paper wrote about her observations of women and their grooming. She said that while on the mrt one day, she realised most women are complacent about their grooming, despite being blessed with fine features. She was perturbed by the fact that we women do not pay that much attention to our personal grooming. Specifically, we don't groom our face. Yes, the lack of cosmetics on our face. She said that some colours on the face would bring out the beauty of women even more. But, we don't even bother to touch up our faces with powders or lipstick to add some colour to our otherwise greasy(?) face.
I am one of those women who do not apply anything on my face except lipstick and that is only once in the morning before I stepped out to work. I don't even bother to touch up my lipstick when it's gone. I used to be more vain when I was younger. I applied compact powder and would constantly touch up the powder or lipstick. But, not anymore. It has been a few years now unless if I have to attend some weddings or formal events, then I'd apply cosmetics to make myself look more presentable. Otherwise, nothing. The most important for me now is to look neat.
But, everyone likes to look at beautiful things or nice things, things with colour..do you like your life to be black and white all the time? Guess not. So, I do think that I've been rather complacent in my face grooming..but i don't want to block my pores and prevent it from breathing which would clog it even more with dirt and grime. Consequently, what do you get? Pimples! So I'd rather not take the chance and remain colourless on my face.
