Should teenage girls be wearing makeup?

Should teenage girls be wearing makeup?
Makeup is a huge aspect of teenage morden society and has been flooding around schools for as long as I can remember, mine particularly; it is an all girls school. Some teenagers come across as orange (can be a sign of exsessive fake tan) some can't be bothered with the hassel, and others keep it natural but cover unwanted blemishes. However, do the girls with orange makeup intend for it to look so fake, or do they apply they're makeup in the wrong lighting? After all, we all have days when we apply to much makeup without realising, and its only until later until someone comments. Or could the reasoning for overuse of makeup be a form of insecurity? Could be, as I'm constantly spotting the same people, who always wear far too much as if it were intended...

So what triggers people to wear too much of these achne-multiplying products? Linking to the insecurity aspect, peer pressure could be involved, or trying to fit in with the popular crowd. Maybe its the 'cool' thing to do nowadays, but is it REALLY worth  sacrificing your true beauty to an orange mess, so you can fit in with the popular crowd?

Some beauty therapists have claimed that makeup as encourages a series of skin conditions, ranging from 'achne' -which is said to be common teenagers, to very dry and damaged skin cells. This doesn't nessasarily apply to all makeup users, but if the makeup builds up (from not washing of sufficiently enough, or using vast quantities so skin becomes irritated and damaged) then it becomes an issue.

So now we've established using vast amounts of makeup not only makes you look tarty, but it also damages the skin and is to blame for all the agrovating skin conditions as I stated previously. If you are one of the people who wears too much makeup, it may not of have caught up to you yet, but sooner or later you WILL regret how much you damaged your beautiful face, and the consequences can sometimes be incureable. Its not worth it, just to fit in. Accept who you are, don't be fooled by barbies, the media or pressure from other girls to look like a prostitute. It WILL come back to you, trust me.

So what can you do?
If you absoloutely HAVE to wear makeup, at least wear it naturally, a bit of concelear here and there, and some foundation-but NOT so it forms a orangeline around your chin. Wearing makeup naturally is completely harmless, so as long as you wash it of you can comprimise with fitting in and start thinking about what your face will look like in the future.

Accept yourself, and stop sacrificing you for a bunch of people who will be worthless to you when you walk into the real world.
