About the GrumpyQueen

A.K.A Gatekeeper

I love food, don't deprive me of it.

I'm not Princess, I'm Queen

I can be quite grumpy and when I am, I hide here, my dungeon for reflections, ramblings and ranting.

Whatever I write are opinions, and may not be the whole truth. Do not read it like the Gospel.

I hate as vehemently as I love
I already know I'm crazy, be my friend, it's safer

Different is not bad, just not the same as the rest

If you don't like me, it's probably mutual
But I'm nice, really :p

Natural's the way to go

Today, I went for facial and while doing my face, this gal came in and wanted the beautician to do her eyebrows. She was apparently going for some stupid competition. The beautician asked if she wanted to do some professional makeup since she offers makeup service too.

"No need la, I think 自然就是美."

"Huh？ Cannot la, how can like that?"

I nearly shouted from inside my curtain, "then why the hell are you plucking your eyebrows? Go there with unruly eyebrows la!"

Because the eyebrow plucking thing's gonna cost 5 bucks while getting makeup done will prob cost anything between 20 to 30 bucks.

She's so unwilling to invest in the audition, I think she doesn't deserve to win.

My sis was waiting outside. According to her, the girl is not pretty at all and wearing really thick makeup with lots of eyeliner to make her eyes look big. Give me a fright! She said natural's the way to go, I really thought she's only go there with plucked eyebrows to scare the living daylights out of the judges there.

Cheapskate dun say, say you are going for the natural look. Pui!

Thing is, I don't buy this natural's the way to go crap. Then don't pluck your eyebrows and shave your armpit hair. Don't rebond or cut your hair. Don't brush your teeth, dont wear perfume. Heck, you should even bathe with flowers since soap is man made.

My stand is this, girls should make up. We should do whatever we can to improve our natural qualities. If your eyes is small, use eyeliner. If you got bad skin, go for facial and use concealer. If you have ugly hair, fix it. Not for anyone but ourselves. Girls are made to make the world look better. We can be rich and smart while we're at it too. :p

I don't mean we need to look dramatically made up. Makeup is used to bring out the best qualities in you and to hide the flaws as much as possible.

And if you've done at least one thing in your life to improve your look, don't be a hypocrite and tell me natural's the way to go.

I don't believe in going all natural. Neither do I believe in overdoing it. But covering our flaws and bringing out our best features, that's basic respect. For yourself and whoever's going to meet you on the streets.

Post note editorial: I should go and die. I just allowed myself to go downstairs with pimple cream on my face, oily skin and messed up hair. This natural's the way shit is getting to me. I will not repeat it again, I will make sure I fix my hair and face before ever stepping out of my gate. No need to make up la, making up to go downstairs is overdoing it.
