Makeup

patriarchy

Vanity

empowering 

embarrassing

a nuisance, a chore 

Joie de vivre, j'adore. 

For ego 

For protection

Cover scars

Display 'perfection'

attract, lie, entrance the weak

make money, make masks, designs of deciet 

must wear it 

patriarchy demands it? 

Beauty has never been more accessible. 

Trained to be ashamed of the natural.

 

What of those without blessed complexion. 

cursed, disregarded, desperate for recognition 

salvation may only come through

shaded contoured painting.

Ego?

It is the natural world

It is how bloodlines grow

Only groomers successful

Will have their oats to sow.

Why do Women wear make up?
