South Korean beauty standards take shit to the next. Fucking. Level. Women are evaluated in totality based on every minor physical detail and whether it matches the ideal to the point where their decision to go under the knife for procedures the likes of blepharoplasty (surgery on their eyelids) is a main determinant of whether they get a job. For them, shit like this is an expectation. Fuck that garbage, burn it up ladies.

skin care is basically the new makeup industry and y’all are gonna fall for it all over again. stop wasting ur money on over priced products and treatments, everyones skin is different do your research and tailor your skincare to yourself and not to a certain brand. if you’re buying all your skincare from one brand you’re doing it wrong 

“let women get plastic surgery!” is such a cold take like please think critically for once and stop trying to turn it into an empowerment movement for women. growing up arab, i have several cousins who were pressured into getting a nose job since it’s so normalized in my culture and i’m constantly shamed by my family members for not considering it. it’s hurtful and awful especially now with facetune and snapchat filters making your nose look more narrow 

i didn’t realize this morning rant gathered some notes until now so i’ll add on to this. plastic surgery companies capitalize on the insecurities of women of color and it’s based on racist beauty standards it should never be glorified

people in activist movements are constantly getting these concepts confused. “let’s not jugde a person for doing this” is not the same as “this is empowering” 

Well this is the worst thing I've ever seen

not to be all “we live in a society” but ig beauty culture is evil and is actively rotting brains

god what fucking level of gender are we on when having natural looking eyebrows is a trendy look but it’s referred to as “boy brows” i’m gonna scream

I’m sure I’d feel the same way if I was a skinny white girl with blue eyes and blonde hair

THANK YOU. shit.
