*chukles*

Now this word is one I hear a lot and yes, it’s referring to me. I laugh.

In a world full of filters and make-up tutorials, one person decided to shade me for using lip gloss and mascara. She thought she was being witty, but she only revealed her own insecurity. It’s as if she has forgotten that make-up can be fun and expressive, not just a tool for insecurity. Her words fell flat, but the laughter that came out from my mouth echoed in the air. A gentle reminder that beauty is more than skin deep.

I remember a time I suffered from acne, that was one part of my life that contributed to me loosing my self esteem. I had acne all over my face, I resulted to using foundation on my face everytime and everywhere because I looked hideous. The only smooth part of my face was my nose. It was horrible. People usually looked at my face in disgust back then..it wasn’t easy for me. I used a lot of things but none worked. The only thing I was confident in was make up and I kept using it. .when my face finally cleared, I was so eager to go to places without make up. I was so happy that even though I had lot of spots on my face as a result of the acne, I still felt good without make up . Make up and my face is the least thing you can use to shade me.

Team natural, team we don’t need to put on make up to look pretty, team” I don’t need to put on make for a guy to start calling me on the street “..Now, the last statement is my problem. When has a ” guy calling you on the street” be seen as a quality of being beautiful or attractive or even seen as an achievement..

Sister, do you need me to remind you of all the irresponsible guys you’ve attracted as a result of your ” so called natural beauty”.

Sister, do you need me to remind you of how you’ve constantly begged guys for money and data subscription and forget that there is a thing called shame.

Sister, do you need me to remind you of all the times that you would wear skimpy dresses, with no specific location in mind, but to walk around aimlessly all because you want a guy to call you.

Sister, do you still need me to remind you that the so called ” cement” that I use on my face made you go get yours and for someone who didn’t like putting unnatural things on your face, you started using them too.

Sister, do you want me to remind you that the so called tildah that’s unnatural is who you’ve tried copying her style of glam

I laugh..

Sister, of all the things you can use to shade me, using my natural face to shade me is the biggest mistake you can ever make.

So because I make use of lip gloss and mascara, I am Unnatural 😂😂😂

Sister, do you still need me to remind you that the thing you’re using to shade me , you’re still making use of it too.

Shade me with something more serious my dear.I know most times, I’m not confident about how I look but girlllll, one thing I know is that leaving mascara and lip gloss aside, I AM BEAUTIFUL , I AM A SPEC, I DON’T NEED ANY OF THOSE THINGS TO LOOK BEAUTIFUL AND I DON’T CONSIDER THEM AS MAKE UP.

I have only just gotten used to it.. I can go anywhere confidently without the so called things you term ” make up”. I don’t need to dress like a slot to look attractive. I don’t need to start yelling about how i was toasted on the road by numerous guys to you to prove that I am beautiful.

Sister, who don fine , don fine😂

If you’re reading this, and you feel offended.i am sorry. This particular article is dedicated to one person who has left other important and more useful things to do and has now been saddled with the responsibility of shading every aspect of my life.

It’s no problem if you don’t like make up and it’s also not a problem if you do. Personally I love making use of lip gloss and mascara and it has become a part of me and my signature look.I don’t really use other make up items, I only use the others on special occasions that require it and on some of those special occasions I end up not even using it.. Don’t use your opinions about something to affect or subtly shade people. Every body has the right to their own opinions. Don’t make people feel bad about something all because you don’t make use of it.

It’s not until you stab a person or kill the person physically before it can be termed as murder. You can murder a person with your words. You can murder a person’s confidence, you can murder a person’s self esteem with what you term as just ” mere words”.

Don’t allow anyone make you feel bad about yourself or because you like something. Most people are just jealous of you and because they have no other way to bring you down, they decide to make use of the most unique and pretty thing about you to shade you. They try to make you feel insecure about your looks. Everyone is beautiful in their own way. Just do you and be unique in all you do. BE YOU TIFUL♥️♥️✨.
