Artificial Beauty & all that crap


Lately I have been to a lot of '3azas' in which everyone mourns over the dead. People go to pay respect for the family of the one passed away, and this respect is shown by women wearing black 3abayas, and no facial cosmetics. I repeat NO cosmetics.

Well recently the trend has changed. Women and girls began attending the Funerals with cosmetics applied on their face. Why? It's insulting to the mourning family. If you have come to pay respect then SHOW respect.

Cosmetics is used in most cases for festive occasions. So why use it in Funerals?

I researched and found out the following:
This is not facial cosmetics that they have on, but tattooed eyeliners, and lipstick. IMAGINE you are permanently make-uped, if there is such a word!! You wake up in the morning with make-up in your face. I mean how stupid is that?

As I was growing up I began noticing that women have tattooed eyebrows. Is it supposed to show? No it's supposed to look natural. BUT women it shows!! I also know that its '7arram' but what the heck, mara7 adish eb hal mawthoo3.

So now that the eyebrow trend became old, women began taking it a step further, lets get permanent eyeliners, lip liners, and lipstick. I'm telling you this is ALL new to me.
I am PRO natural beauty and against all this ridiculousness.
Actually its getting quiet scary, I don’t know what to expect next. Of course I will not mention lip inflammation which increases the size of the lip to give it a more round look.

Usually when I feel down I would go for a hair cut, or a new hair color (but I quit dying my hair now, Never AGAIN), something to make me feel good about the way I look, which makes me inner happy therefore it influences my external environment :P. But PERMANENT makeup?? What if it turns out wrong? IT'S permanent damage.
I think this permanent damage is ruining the image of beauty. Beauty nowadays is becoming more superficial then natural. The more artificial ladies become, the more attractive they are. And of course some believe otherwise
The extent that they go to gain this artificial beauty is horrendous. Not only is it applied to their faces but some go all the way to take out two of their ribs, one from each side to give her a more narrow waist. How sad is that?

I have no idea what to classify as good looking, and what to classify as attractive-artificial anymore. What has our world become to? What trends would our children bring back home to us tomorrow when we're all grown up and accustomed to these ridiculous new trends?

That's sad. BTW, you're giving it more credit than it deserve. Tattoos on face got another name for it: Dagat and it shall be addressed as such. But if people took as much care applied to their looks as to their brains.
