Blog 4 : Brand Identification

                      Bare Minerals Makeup and Products. It was not always the first brand of products I have used when it comes to makeup. There was many different ones such Garnier , L'Oreal and FIT, all served to cover up and make you feel beautiful. In fact, they were great in masking natural skin and making it look picture perfect. Yet, after every use, my skin felt trapped behind layers of foundation, but what could I do when it was just perfect in covering up what I didn't want to show.
                         Ever since I was young, I had visible scares on my face. Everyone use to ask me, "how did you get those?", or "what happened?. Of course, my mom use to say  " I cant see anything," but that was my mom, she just wanted to make me feel better. It was tough for me, but when I got into reach with makeup, it changed everything. I began to use it in order to cover up. I was a bit too young , just beginning eight grade, to be using so much of makeup. But I  looked better, maybe even felt more confident. Makeup became my obsession. Buying new foundations, and skin product was exciting. Something new to try out, constantly hoping " maybe this one will make me look even better."
I remember how much I stood out too. A young girl like me wearing makeup to cover up, why.?            
                      Everyone is school brought attention to what I was wearing on my face, like I was not aware of it myself. I began to feel trapped, layers of makeup covering up my true look. It bothered me with everything I did. Simple things like working out with makeup. Clearly working out on my own, or with people who had seen me without makeup before wasn't a problem. It was another story for those who knew me as a girl who always wore foundation. When the makeup came off, the questions kept on coming. I was tired of it all. Until my best friend introduced me to a product called "Bare Minerals."
                     This one was special. After the first use, I could feel my skin breathing even with the foundation on. I felt more open. There was no more hiding my real skin. I looked great and felt great as the time went by. Overall the appearance of my scars went away, and till this day I cant let go of it. I find my true match that helped me feel free.
