Makeup 101: Celebrate Your “Imperfections”

[Make-up is wonderful, but it can also be confusing. There are so many shades and colors and sheens and reasons to wear it, that a girl can get completely lost attempting to find what fits her face best. What’s the best blush color for a redhead? How do you really put on lip-liner? Is there such a thing as too much eyeshadow?

In this weekly series, actress / model and fabulous CC blogger, Jen, will be using her makeup know-how to teach us all how to look flawless in class, out at a party, or grabbing coffee with that cutie from Psych 101.]

Got a big nose? An ugly birth mark? Something else on your body that you just really, really hate? Have you ever asked yourself why?

This week, instead of focusing on products and tips to enhance our beauty, we want to stop for a moment and be thankful for the beauty we all already possess. No advice for bronzer here. No tips for the perfect bun. Just you. As you are.

    I admire the whole “everyone is beautiful” thing, but allow me to be cynical and callous for a while.

    First of all, it’s so easy for you to preach “love thyself”, isn’t it – you’re classically gorgeous. I’d like to see a girl who’s 300 pounds and has acne scars go down this route for once!

    Second, there are two types of imperfections: the type which can be quirky and endearing, and the type which is just ugly. Moles have been considered so attractive throughout the history of fashion that people started gluing on fake ones! Hardly an “imperfection”. Same goes for a broken nose (Adrien Brody totally rocks this), or freckles (I’ve been trying to make mine more prominent for years). Scars are also a good example, especially on guys, they can be very sexy.

    Having said all that, there are imperfections which will never be attractive to anyone on the planet. That’s things like a double chin, sun spots or lip hair.
