face makeup is evil. i donāt care. like eyeshadow can be a fun and creative thing and itās not like anybody is going to think you genuinely have purple eyelids but face makeup thatās made to lookĀ ānaturalā just ends up making you think your normal skin is something to be covered up and distorts your perception of your face. the wholeĀ āit makes ppl more confident!ā thing is a lie because itās not that the makeup itself is making you feel confident itās that it creates an association with confidence and the results of that is you end up hating your face which is the opposite of building your self-confidence.
i keep getting (and blocking lol) comments like ālet people do what they want with their appearance!!!ā on this post when like thatās literally my point makeup should be a thing you wear because you feel like you want to be creative and fuck it why not have black eyelids and purple lips today. foundation and contouring and colour correcting that look ānaturalā are the opposite of that! youāre not doing it because you want to youāre doing it because you feel like your face is lacking without it after wearing it for so long and makeup companies prey on that. itās a good business model because a foundation bottle is something youāre gonna have to replace once a year if you wear it every day but eyeshadow and lipstick will last you several years even with daily use like iām a goth i wear heavy black eyeshadow on my eyelids every time i do my makeup and i havenāt had to replace it in years. ābut foundation helps people go out in public because they have low self-confidence!ā is a myth, and just because itās a coping mechanism doesnāt mean itās a good one like it will in the long run make you think your naked face is lacking which is fucked up because itās your FACE. thereās nothing wrong with it and the industry that is selling you the foundation that āempowersā you is actively working to make sure you need to be empoweredĀ
āletās totally erase cultural makeup!! youāre evil and mean!ā i know the reading comprehension on this site is low but come on you know thatās not what iām talking about at all. ah yes the ancestral and sacred practice of contouring your face and covering every single blemish youāve ever had because god forbid someone sees you have acne like a real human person
