Conceal or... reveal..
The art of makeup was always an art of interest to many women.. and men to be realistic. Let me take you quickly through the basics ..
Conceal the darker spots.. Layer the foundation (thats the thing that makes a dark girl turn white :p ) and then .. you have a face which you can do just as what you wish to it.. inshallah draw a clown's smile ! it'll still be art..
Those different brushes each has a purpose.. each covers something or adds a color or a texture..and what is the end result...
A beautiful face with loads of makeup.. yet it is terribly unhealthy.. Another face that has colorful makeup... and a dull soul.. A face that looks like a 20year old.. instead its soul is as old as a 60 year old women.. A 60 year old face with a soul of a 20 year old.. A perfectly toned face.. with loads of makeup that cover an abused woman.. a bruise or a scar..
You see.. the thing with all those cosmetics is that if you know how to use them.. you can so easily cover many of your scars.. dark spots.. bruises.. you can make your puffy eyes .. less puffer.. just practice..
We all wear masks.. some of us wear those masks to hide their sorrows and scars.. some to hide their age.. some to hide their personality.. and some.. to live and move on.. !
Today i read "Behind this mask lies a face full of flesh and ideas" .. SZ.. is it from V for Vendentta? Well.. in all cases.. i say.. behind every mask there is a face that is full of mysteries.. and secrets ... full of many things that cannot be reveiled..full of life.. or full of death.. full of contradictions..
We manage to successfuly use those "brushes" to conceal our personality.. or even our sorrows.. sometimes we are so good at it that not many "dark spots" are obvious.. we have that sweetest cutest.. loveliest smile ever... the face is toned and perfect.. and the soul is damaged and shattered..
The question would be.. shall we keep having those masks to move on.. ? or reveal our real "face" .. ? Should we keep practicing with our brushes until we master this art.. ?

your conception of concealing and revealing makes me think... how much does how artistic one is about one's soul really tell about a person?
can you really imagine a world where no masks existed, and no makeup was invented? how would it be like?
u know sometimes ppl carry their masks around for so long that they start to believe that they actually are the person that they seem to be to people.. its only the last years of your life that are like the end of a masquerade party when all the masks come off.
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

I don't know how true the quote is, but it's pretty interesting

i wish i was in a world with no masks.. God it would be like living in heaven.. ! You know what gets on my nerves..not the fact that i have a mask and you and the rest.. but some would just methl ma gelti believe ineh its how they really are.. !

I don't know what ANY of these brushes do...lol! I'm fine without make-up.
I can't stand masks. Concealing is lying, sometimes.
Loved what Seraph said in her comment. Yes many ppl use masks not to fool ppl but rather because a masks help them reveal the real them. Yet others conceal their personality with masks to hide a real them that would only reveal itself in situation of need, either run away or support.. which many would go for the first.
I tend to use a mask to be able to talk sincerely and from the heart as I find it hard to do it face to face.. fdeetni dam3eti 3a 5adi .. :P and slo to hide my temper:P
