Most of us have women in our lives and this may be of interest to you, and maybe your woman.
A huge number of women in our hemisphere wear make-up every day, beginning from early teen years., sometimes earlier.
Cosmetics is not merely popular it has probably become a fail-safe industry that will almost certainly survive even a depression.
The logic for women doing it fails for me.
Many, many, early-teens begin doing it to look older: they want to appear as glamourous and sophisticated as they perceive others who are closer to or at adult-age.
To achieve this they add the make-up and often change their attire and mannerisms.
Make-up does work this way for them, so they develop the habit of using it, and, hopefully, get better at its application.
What fails for me is why they continue doing it and seldom recognize what it can do, and very often actually does, to their skin over time: it causes damage, often long-term damage.
This is an example of some of the problems, and how to avoid them.
Personal experience:
I am not a fan of the stuff, and believe it continues to succeed at the initial goal for many young girls or women by making them look older well after they become adults.
As example, my wife and I were going to Toronto's major fair, Canadian National Exhibition, before covid and had this discussion before we left home.
She decided to challenge my views and applied her own choice of make-up before we left home. She looked great, as usual, and was anticipating an opportunity to prove me wrong.
At the CNE we found a couple of stands where you pay an entry fee and hope for a prize when they wrongly guess your age and/or weight.
We observed a number of people paying for the opportunity to go forward and submit themselves to the "guesses"
Presuming the visitors were speaking the truth when they responded to the "guesses" we saw few prizes were won and it appeared those doing the guessing were definitely good at the job.
My wife went forward at two separate locations, where the respective guesses gave her age as five or seven years older than her real age.
That did not go over well.
No, I did not gloat.
