Not to say that women are the only people who wear makeup, of course, but we are generally the ones who receive opinions about. People tell us we don't need to wear so much. That we look better without makeup. That we look tired when we're not wearing any. The truth is that there are dozens upon dozens of reasons why women wear makeup, and they rarely have to do with gaining approval from anyone else.

We are not hiding, we are not lying, and we are not trying to impress you. It's just that we are warrior goddesses and this is our war paint. But tell me – why do you wear makeup?
