I only wear makeup to fancy events (proms, weddings, etc.) but not normally. I think there are a few different sagot to this question. Some girls wear it to feel madami secure about themselves. See, girls tend to freak out over their appearance, and many girls believe that they are not pretty enough. Many girls believe that all guys look for in a girl is her physical appearance (which, I've found, is only sometimes true, not always). Also, those girls who are beautiful and know it often pag-ibig to rub it in everyone else's faces, making their self esteem drop even lower, until they feel that they are ugly. Thus, they wear makeup to, well, make up for it. But it's not always like that. Sometimes, girls wear makeup simply because it's "cool." It's like fashion, where so many girls wear the same sort of things just because everyone else is doing it. Or it's like having long hair, in that girls are expected to have long hair or they are considered a freak (like me; I have a pixie cut, and I've gotten lots of crap about it). Then, there is peer pressure. Girls can be very nasty to each other, so that many people are actually afraid of ipinapakita their individuality. They conform to the norms out of fear. I personally have been told blatantly sa pamamagitan ng many girls that I'm a freak simply because I don't wear makeup. Finally, some girls do it because they want to ipakita off. I've seen girls in school with the tackiest makeup, because they want to ipakita off. They want to ipakita how cool they are, and they think it'll make madami guys want them, and they want to ipakita that they are sophisticated, and for them, makeup is just a mark of how amazing they are. So there really is no simple answer. It all depends on a variety of factors. For some girls it's about improving their low self-confidence, for others it's about ipinapakita off. For some girls it's about conforming because it's cool, for others it's about conforming out of fear. And there are madami reasons. It's pretty complicated.
