Paint my face
I have never really loved the idea of painting the face. Apart from the fact that it is artificial, it also contains some chemicals that can be unfriendly to the skin. I really don't know why folks do not put these things into consideration.
A very good example is the women's makeup, I hear even men are partakers in it now. You can barely recognize some ladies after they apply their makeup heavily, it is like they become someone else all of a sudden.
The basic use of this kind of materials were in the circus, where shows are being made constantly. The act as someone else, hence they need to be that someone else. That's the act of showmanship!
