All over the world women get up in the morning and one of the first things they do is put on their makeup. Whether it’s just a little mascara or everything, including contouring, women feel the need to purchase and wear makeup for different reasons. It’s easy to think that they just wear makeup because they think that it makes them appear better, but there are other reasons as to why women choose to take the time to do their makeup. Here are some quotes of students who answered the question of “Why do you wear makeup?”

“Well I wear it pretty much everyday because I like makeup and I think I look really tired without it.”

“I wear makeup to feel more confident in front of others.”

“I’m pale so it helps with that.”
