Emely Santiago

I have a love/hate relationship with make-up. I hate how make up perpetuates the idea that women must be “perfect” at all times. I sometimes see women wearing make up to go to the gym or hear how they're afraid to be in front of their significant other without make-up.  We become obsessed with fitting into societies unrealistic standards on beauty.

However, I think make-up can also be used to enhance features we really like about ourselves. I love going out and wearing a lipstick color that makes my smile pop.
