How Makeup Affects the Senses

Unknown to many, makeup affects more than just the sense of sight in both men and women. There’s a positive stimulation that one can get when applying makeup, and this is what makes you feel the need to put on makeup every morning. This is why it’s important for you to learn how makeup affects the senses. Here are some of the ways:

Smell

Out of all the senses, the sense of smell is the most subjective and sensitive type. This is because what might smell good to you might not smell good to other people, and what irritates your nose might not do anything for other people. This just goes to show that the scent of an object or an item such as makeup greatly affects the way that they are perceived.

Even though the smell of a particular product may repulse certain buyers, there’s a reason why manufacturers still choose to incorporate different scents into their makeup. One of the reasons is that humans naturally associate certain scents with certain moods or outlooks. The more pleasant the scent is the happier and motivated you feel. This is why air fresheners, vaporisateurs, and other types of scent dispensers are still quite popular. For makeup users, the right scent can become their pick-me-uppers whenever they are feeling down or whenever they feel sluggish. They use these scents to motivate them to get going with their day.

Touch

The mere touch of a makeup brush or the mere stroke of an eyebrow pencil can already affect a woman’s day. However, this simple fact is most often than not forgotten or just disregarded by women. This is because most makeup users only focus on what makeup can do for their outer appearance that they forget that the mere act of applying makeup can already affect them on a deeper level.

The power of the sense of touch is best exhibited by the fact that tactile communication is one of the most efficient ways to convey a particular message from one person to another. That added touch on the shoulder can bring forth waves of comfort that no other words can. This just goes to show that the sense of touch can also affect the way you feel about yourself and other people as well as how you choose to go about your day.

Whether you’re using a foundation brush or a concealer stick, the way that you apply makeup onto your face can greatly affect your mood. This is the reason why there are some people who prefer to put on foundation using their fingers since it allows them to perform a light massage on their faces. The feeling of the soft bristles on the skin can also stimulate the positive feelings and outlooks that can last for the rest of the day.

Sight

The sense of sight is the most obvious type of sense that is greatly affected by applying makeup. If you see that you look healthy and radiant on the outside, you won’t be able to help but feel healthy and radiant on the inside. Knowing that you look good (or at least better than your normal self) will also give you that boost of self-confidence and empowerment that you may need in order to get through the rest of your day.
