Liptember, Lipstick ubomi!
Abasetyhini kunye nabantu abachonga abafazi bafuna ukumelwa ngcono kwindawo yempilo yengqondo. Yeyiphi indlela engcono kunoncumo lwe-lipstick?
I-Liptember, iphulo lenyanga elide elenziwe yisiseko sase-Australia esifumana ukuduma kwihlabathi jikelele, yasungulwa ngo-2010. Kunyaka wabo wokuqala bakwazi ukwazisa kunye ne-$ 55,000 yenkxaso-mali yemibutho yezempilo yengqondo. Ukusukela ngo-2014, uLiptember ukwazile ukuxhasa ngemali ngaphezulu kwe-80,000 yezicelo zenkxaso.1.
Iqela lifumanise ukuba uninzi lophando lwempilo yengqondo olwenziwe kuluntu lwethu luvavanya impilo yengqondo yamadoda kodwa lusebenzisa ezi ziphumo kumadoda nabasetyhini ngokufanayo. Isiphumo yaba kukuba iinkqubo ezininzi kunye nezicwangciso zokuthintela azikwazanga ukunceda iimfuno zempilo yengqondo yabasetyhini kunye nabasetyhini-abachonga abantu. Ngabathathi-nxaxheba abadlala umlomo onemibala, uLiptember unethemba lokuqalisa incoko malunga nempilo yengqondo. Umbono kukunciphisa ibala lokufuna nokufumana inkxaso, kunye nokuqonda ukuba bonke bayazuza kolu khathalelo ngaxa lithile ebomini babo. Inkalipho yokuba sesichengeni kwesi sithuba inokusindisa ubomi.
Imbali yokuqala yempilo yengqondo yabasetyhini lixesha elimnyama ngokwenene. Ukusukela ngo-1900 BC, amaGrike okuqala namaJiphutha athi "isibeleko esibhadulayo" okanye "intshukumo ezenzekelayo yesibeleko" njengonobangela wazo zonke izidubedube anokuthi azive umntu wasetyhini. Isicombululo yaba kukutshata, ukuhlala ukhulelwe, okanye ukuyeka. Thetha ngemiyalezo edibeneyo! Igama lesiGrike elithi “hystera,” elithetha isibeleko, liyingcambu yegama eliyingozi elithi “hysteria,” nto leyo ebangela ukuba kubekho ingcamango engokwenkulungwane yakudala yokuphazamiseka kwengqondo kwamabhinqa. Nkqu noHippocrates watyikitya kwithiyori ye-hysteria, ecebisa ukuba isisombululo “se-uterine melancholy” yayikukutshata kwaye ube nabantwana abaninzi. Kwakungekho de kwangowe-1980 apho eli gama lathi lasuswa kwi-Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM)2.
Njengoko ixesha kunye namayeza ayeqhubela phambili, kwanezona ndawo zingcwele zabasetyhini zathatyathwa ziingcali zamadoda. Ukhathalelo lwezifo zabasetyhini kunye nokubeleka, obelunikwe ubukhulu becala ngababelekisi abaqeqeshiweyo, lwakhutshelwa ngaphandle kwaye lwathotywa. Lo msonto othile wokhathalelo lwempilo yabasetyhini ngokukhawuleza waba yindawo yendoda.
Ixesha elinobundlobongela neliphazamisayo kwinkcubeko yethu liguqukele ekutshisweni nasekubulaweni kwabasetyhini “amagqwirha,” ababengabantu ekusenokwenzeka ukuba bajongana nemiba yempilo yengqondo engakhange ifunyanwe, isifo sokuwa, okanye abantu abazimeleyo nabanqwenela ukuzicingela.3.
Ngoku sikwimeko engcono yokuxhasa abantu basetyhini kunye nabachonga abantu basetyhini, kodwa iyantlukwano isekhona. Iingqikelelo zesini ziyaqhubeka kwishishini lokhathalelo lwempilo kunye nowasetyhini kunokwenzeka ukuba alinde ixesha elide ukuxilonga impilo4, okanye ade abe lixhoba lentetho evuselela inkanuko yesini ethi “kusentloko yakhe” okanye “uphambene.” Ukongeza, ubuhlanga buyaqhubeka kudala imiqobo ekufumaneni ukhathalelo. Ibhinqa eliNtsundu eMelika linamathuba angama-20% ngaphezulu okuba namava empilo yengqondo kwaye kusenokwenzeka ukuba abhencelwe kucalucalulo ngokwesini kunye nobuhlanga kwishishini lethu lokhathalelo lwempilo.
Njengomntu okwishumi elivisayo owayenengxaki yokudakumba ngeminyaka yee-'90s, nam, ndifumana lo mahluko. Ndineengcali ezininzi zokuzama ukuxilonga kunye nokunyanga intaphane yemicimbi yempilo yengqondo. Ndanikwa amayeza ebekelwe kuphela ezona ziganeko zibukhali zengqondo—amayeza angazange avavanywe kwiingqondo eziselula. Ndihambile kwaye ndibaleka kuhambo lwasendle olungenzanga nto ingako ukuthomalalisa umntu oneemvakalelo owayezama ngako konke okusemandleni ukuba alingane nabo bonke abanye “abantu abaqhelekileyo.”
Ngoko ndasebenzisa amandla e-makeup ukuze ndikubonise ngaphandle oko ndandikuva ngaphakathi. Ukuba bendinosuku oluqaqambileyo nolonwabisayo, ubunokundifumana ndikwimilebe ebomvu ngokubomvu eyayimema abantu ukuba beze baze baqalise incoko! Ukuba bendijongene noxinzelelo kunye nosizi, unokuba undifumene kwi-cocoa okanye kwi-merlot. Ukuba bekukho usuku olutsha oluza kuba nalo, ukuziva unethemba kunye nesiqalo esitsha, i-lavender okanye i-pastel ebomvu inokuba yinto ekhethiweyo.
Yayilixesha elibuhlungu ndikwishumi elivisayo kwaye, xa ndijonga ngasemva, ndiqaphela indlela ubuchule bam kunye nokuzimela kwam kwakungeyonto eyayibhiyozelwa okanye iphononongwe. Akumangalisi ke ngoko ukuba ndisokole ukungena kweli bhokisi lincinane loluntu! Ndiyathemba ukuba ezo zithintelo endiye ndazifumana ziye kuncipha kwisizukulwana ngasinye kwaye, mhlawumbi, intombi yam iya kuba nakho ukufikelela kukhathalelo lwempilo yengqondo kunye nonyango endingazange ndilwazi mna-kunye nabafazi abaninzi ngaphambi kwam.

Isinika ulawulo phezu kwethu kwihlabathi apho abafazi abaninzi baziva bengenamandla. I-Liptember isinika ithuba lokubhiyozelwa kwaye samkelwe njengoko sinjalo, kwaye ndiyathemba ukuba uya kunye nam ekubhiyozeleni yonke imihla!
