Covering yourself with shades of red 
Look at the artificial taste you have 
 
Pleasing others with shades of pink 
Why can't you understand you’re more than that? 
 
When you look into the mirror why can’t you see a beautiful person shining? 
Why don’t you see your beautiful flaws that make up who you are 
 
Instead, you suffocate yourself with lipstick, hide away those chapped lips because no one likes it 
Put on foundation so no one can see your face because in the end to you it’s a beauty race 
 
Put away the lipstick, put away the blush, you are perfect just as who you are 
You do not need the fake lies to tell you how to get a guy 
 
Makeup doesn’t make you any better, in fact, it just drowns when there’s bad weather 
Makeup only stays with you when days are sunny but it won’t stay with you when rain pours down and then you look funny 
 
Makeup is your toxic friend who only leaves you again and again 
It’s like drugs you keep using and how you never seem to think 
 
One day you’ll forget who you are when you’re smothered with makeup for so long 
When you look into the mirror one day who will you see? 
 
A beautiful girl inside and out who lives her life without a doubt? 
Or will you see someone different than that?

             Someone fake?

                      Someone trying to win the makeup race? 
No, you find someone who’s lost their face 
 
Makeup does not heal you, one day it can kill you 
That girl forgot who she was and now she’s out there, one of us 
 
She was one time the moon, but now she’s a tiny star 
She just had to be one of us and I liked it when she wasn’t 
 
I hope when she looks into the mirror, she’ll see the artificial taste 
She brought upon herself, and realized she lost the race 
 
Because makeup was just her artificial taste
