Looking your best and feeling your best can boost your self-esteem. Feeling good about yourself is important because it affects how you communicate with people around you. Wearing makeup has become a daily ritual for women of all ages. 

Here is a piece from an article from the National Counselling Society:  
“A spokesperson for the chain, Sara Wolverson, said in the Daily Express: "For many women, putting their make-up is an important part of their day, and the thought of people seeing them without can be horrifying. We know that when it comes to cutting back, cosmetics are seen as an essential."
Women are relying on makeup to solve the problems regarding their self-esteem.  However, there are some women that were makeup to cover-up blemishes.

According to the National Counselling Society, “A highly effective way for women to improve their perception of themselves and build much-needed self-esteem is to attend counselling.  By talking their issues through with a trained counsellor, women can identify the underlying issues contributing to their low self-confidence and find a more effective way to work through them, other than piling on the foundation”.
 The media has made women think that they should always wear makeup.  Now, it has come to the point that women are developing are low-esteem because of makeup.  A lot of people can be judgmental when it comes to the appearance of what a woman is wearing.  

 Life coach Jackie Fletcher gives her expert opinion: "Make-up can help with a sense of self-respect."
"The reality is that we do judge people by how they look, and this can be especially important for women in business who often need to appear professional. But if the reason for wearing make-up lies in the woman feeling worried that people will judge her for the way she looks rather than who she is, that's a problem that needs to be addressed." (Also from the article from the National Counselling Society)

Society has given women the notion that wearing make will cure all their problems and mental issues that their holding on it. From magazines to television realty shows; the media displays a wide variety of makeup advertisements targeting women with low esteem. Many women are now leaded to think that wearing makeup can change how they’re feeling on the outside.
