let me correct myself i mean this econs prof’s voice is nice 

1) The last time he saw me was during chinese new year and guess what? chinese new year is a big occasion to celebrate so of course im gonna put my face on.

2) When i wear makeup, i do it for myself, not for anyone. yes, NOT EVEN MY MAN. Think of it this way: makeup is like painting. it’s just that it is a different medium and the canvas is on the face and too bad he saw my canvas. Don’t tell me that he can appreciate my painting in the museum (yes, im an art student) but he can’t appreciate the painting on my face even if it’s the same colour palette.

3) IF HE REALLYYYYYYYYY CARES, HE WOULD KNOW WHAT TYPE OF ACNE I SUFFER SO TO PUT IT OUT THERE, i used to suffer from cystic acne. It’s hormonal, not because of makeup. whenever my period comes, i’ll break out. simple. and if he COULD DO THE MATH - I WAS HAVING MY PERIOD DURING CHINESE NEW YEAR.

4) Clear skin DOES not need to be the default. clear skin does not need to the ultimate goal to beauty. it’s ok to have acne skin. it’s ok to be comfortable in ur own acne-scarred skin. it’s ok to put makeup over ur acne if u like it that way. People do things differently - so stop making things the default. 

5) It’s so dumb that if we don’t wear makeup, we look tired and we don’t look ‘presentable’. AND WITH THAT, it is worse that when we wear makeup, it gives off a vibe that we are all about looks only and we are soooo vain. SO WHAT DO U WANT US TO DO???? Like i said, i wear makeup for myself so yea, deal with it. 

6) I DO NOT CARE about what your intent was. if you say or do something that is douche, the action and words has NO MATTER affected the other party. it is because of people like you that make people who is out of that ‘perfect beauty’ category out of place and alienated. I have been taunted by exes and relatives that im ugly and because of that, i hated myself and wished i look different. it took me years to gain some self confidence and be proud of my skin and be not afraid to show it because people like my friends and my man helped me through it. if you could make a 10 yr old girl hate her body, don’t tell me i’m out of my mind. your body is a temple, why don’t we decorate it - with non-permanent stuff like makeup or even permanent stuff like tattoos. it’s their own body = their own ways of dealing with things and their own way of living, so stop implementing things on people. it’s not going to make us go ‘HMM YEA RIGHT THIS GEEZER IS TOTALLY RAD WE SHOULD LIKE THROW AWAY ALL OUR EYESHADOW COLLECTION AND NOT WEAR MAKEUP 4 LYFE’, it’s going to make us go ‘idc, i’ll wear it more to show off my artistic flair in ur face. Here, take a good look at this perfect wing’
