Ulzzangs and Makeup.
Saturday, October 8, 2011 // 8:43 PM

Okay, i admit it. I used to think people who caked on the makeup daily were.. weird. I didn't despise them.. cause that's just stupid. But i do admit that my respect for them would fall slightly, cause really, no one needs makeup to be beautiful. Truly beautiful, from the inside. 





You don't need photoshop, you don't need plastic surgery, you just need to be true to yourself and being so insecure of yourself as to take those drastic measures to enhance your beauty.. well to me.. before, i thought it was just crazy. Now, not so much.


I've seen some drastic changes that makeup and a shifty camera angle can make on a person. Really, it's amazing how much one can change from being, well not as pretty to amazingly beautiful. And then, for some, they spend hours every day just fixing their hair and makeup. I used to think they were stuck up, but it's their decision. Now i truly admire how much work and effort they go to just to look pretty. Which in itself is a stupid concept. As my friend static.dream. said,
they really had to go through pains to look the way they do now, and for what? To conform to society's ideals of what's beautiful? A transient idea that will fade as soon as the next trend comes in.
 So yes, i guess i admire them in a way to be so...dedicated to such a shallow idea. And then there is the concept of 'ulzzang' which literally means 'best face'. And i have to admit, that yes, those ulzzangs are really pretty. They are cute, beautiful, statuesque, etc. But then again, they themselves seem to have many insecurities about themselves. I've been thinking that being an ulzzang must be great right? I mean, they are so pretty and they have the bext photographers, cameras, they get to go to wonderful places and meet wonderful people. Wrong. Sure, some, a fair few get famous and make it. But then their photos are photoshopped and their makeup takes ages. seriously, i don't think it's really that worth it.


Which then makes me think, why is an idol held in such a different light? Well for me anyway.
