Hello! My name is Aleyda and this blog is going to be mainly about experiences with makeup that has to do about myself and others and why they wear it. I'm writing about this because I have always been interested in make up as well as liked playing around with it when I was bored. I usually only played with eye makeup because my mom never bought me anything else. However I wasn’t allowed to wear makeup outside of the house until I turned 15 because my parents didn't allow it, so it’s been a little bit less than a year that I have been able to wear it. My mom didn’t allow me because that was a sign of growing up and becoming a "young lady" and she wanted to wait until turned 15 so when I had my quinceanera, a celebration which signifies a Latina’s transition into adulthood from their childhood, it would surprise the guests and show that I was starting to “become a young lady”. I ended up surprising everyone on how different I looked that day including myself, it was really weird seeing myself with a full face of makeup. That’s why I wanted to write makeup because I always liked it and I’m allowed to wear it whenever I decide. I am 15 and about to turn 16 in a little less than a month and am a sophomore. Some of my hobbies are playing with makeup, playing my saxophone, reading and hanging out with my friends.
