In life, not all things appear as they would seem. For example: clowns. Clowns are often symbols of comedy, but for the longest time, they have been known to be sad people who paint on a smile. I mention this, because I have found that makeup and lies are one in the same.
First of all, makeup and lies cover up the truth. When someone puts on makeup, they are either hiding or adding onto their natural complexion. Your face is what it is, and in that way, it is equal to the truth. By putting on any amount of makeup, you're not showing what is really there. By being the opposites of truth, lies do the exact same thing. Lies will either produce some version of the truth, or will change it completely. Next, makeup can be layered and layered upon. The ladies know what I'm talking about. First you put on the primer, then the liquid, powder, etc. Lies can be layered upon as well. If one tells a lie, he/she must often layer upon more lies so that it all works together and seems realistic. Lastly, makeup and lies both bear the ability to create. You can create a comfortable, or even new, version of yourself with makeup. Makeup can create anything from a super model, to a character in mythology. Lies, on the other hand, create situations, some of which don't turn out pretty.
I am by no means saying makeup is bad, or that you're a liar if you wear it. I just wanted to point out what I believe to be similar between the two.
If anyone who wears makeup is a liar, then I admit to being one. I love mascara D:
This is a great comparison - two completely different topics that you found similarities with. Nicely done :)
