Girls And Their Looks

If teenage boys believe teenage girls wear makeup mainly to impress them, they’ve got another think coming. According to a YM survey of readers age13-19, a plurality of the girls (42 percent) wear makeup chiefly “to cover flaws.” Thirteen percent said it’s “to make myself feel pretty,” 3 percent “to experiment and look unique” and 2 percent “because my friends do.” More flattering to the lads, 35 percent of the girls said they wear makeup “to make myself look more attractive,” and 5 percent “to impress guys.”
