Many in our society claim that they appreciate natural beauty, but the truth is that many don't know what it really is. People who look good with makeup on are beautiful, people who look good without makeup are also beautiful....but I admire most those who are willing to admit their insecurities. Earlier I was just online looking to pass some time before class when I came across an article about a video posted by a teen model. The video shows her without makeup, covered in severe acne. She then shows how she applies her foundation to give the look of flawless skin. This girl is a model. It says a lot about her character that she is brave enough to be in the field she is in with her skin like that and posting videos exposing it. Most models now are airbrushed and shown at the peak of perfection, but she is brave and is showing how she really looks.
We need positive role models in our society. She is a young person with a good attitude...and that is something we need more of. People tend to lose focus on what is good in the world...and not to be overly critical, but I do think that is because of the news people are exposed to. Most of everything is negative. People focus on what disaster has happened, court cases, and drama. People focus on getting degrees, higher education, more pay, and more benefits from our government. But we need to stop and think about the simple things in life. We need to really try to be positive and not all gloom and doom. This might just be a makeup tutorial, but the bigger picture is what it says about her (Cassandra Bankson) personality and character. We need more positive people. We need more good news. Especially at a time where people are so bombarded with news from all angles...it is a good thing to have just a dash of something else in there.
