Here we have a picture of a girl getting ready. She has her make-up out and contacts. Her glasses are just thrown carelessly in the pile of her never ending make-up. All you can see of the girl is her reflection. You only see this part because, to her, it’s the only important part. It only matters who she can make herself into that important. In regard to the picture she only takes up a small part of it. The objects around her are more important to her. She is not looking at us, this shows she is not confident in the person she is without being fully done up. The fact that her glasses are thrown is important too. Society has a problem with them, so she got contact to look normal like everyone else. While doing all this she doesn’t look very happy. She does this to know that people will find her pretty. She might not enjoy doing all of this, but she knows if she doesn’t then people won’t like her or won’t find her attractive. The reflection of her is blurred; you can’t see anything that might define her as an individual. The girls nowadays all look the same. There is no way to tell which is which. The girls all try to look like people in the media because they feel that’s what everyone should look like. It the picture the lights are bright so she won’t miss anything. If she doesn’t have all these lights she might not be able to see that a piece of hair have falling out of place, or that her make-up isn’t perfect. I took this picture at an angle to show all the girls’ make-up and things she has out. In the mirror you can see that she is looking into another mirror. The other mirror is a magnified mirror, with another light built in. On the smaller mirror she is looking in, there is an even smaller mirror! In this mirror you can just about see every pore on your face. When girls need to see all their pores up close there have to be a problem.

I agree with this picture a lot!! Especially on the fact that she looks very young and she is wearing contacts, why are they allowing kids wear contacts? Contacts are a big responsibility, you need to be very careful or you can get some nasty infections that can mess up your sight for life. Kids now days won’t even conceive the idea of wearing regular glasses, contacts seem to be the norm along with wearing make up and dying your hair. What happened with the washable hair color? The fake sticker tattoos? Clip on earrings? Girls are so desperate to look like adults that they missed on having a childhood, and having fun by not having to worry about anything. It’s like they don’t understand that being an adult comes with responsibilities. I think, or more like we know, media plays a big role on turning these little girls into little women. Characters like Hanna Montana make these girls truly believe that if you are 13 you should look like you are 20. This picture is a very good representation of this, they do it whatever it takes to fit in, even if they don’t like it.
This picture shows how the society is telling girls that they have to use make up to make themselves look pretty. The make up, perfumes and nail polish on the table shows how young girls try to use these things to be able to fit in with others. Also the fact that she doesn't show her face shows how embarrassed she is about her face. that she has to put her make up on before she can reveal her face.
This is a good representation of everything girls go through to feel pretty. It shows all the makeup products she has to use to impress others and feel better about herself. When looking at a girl getting ready compared to a boy, the girl uses significantly more products and takes more time to get ready. It makes you wonder, why is it that we put in so much more time than males into getting ready?
