This is makeup and facetune.
Disclaimer: I am in no way trying to put down the women in the second photo set. They look great, they’re doing as they please, but I wanted to use their public photos in order to make a point.
Often times I hear the argument, “but makeup is an art form! How can women be harmed by the makeup industry if it’s a CHOICE and an art form?”
There is a gigantic difference between the two photo sets. The first are women who have applied makeup, face paint and other materials in order to create something on their faces that does not enhance their appearance or follow beauty standards. They are literally creating a painting/piece of art on their faces. The second photo set shows women who are using makeup in order to enhance their looks and quite honestly change the appearance of their natural facial features.
The makeup looks that are shown are what the beauty industry distributes their products for. These looks are what is deemed “beautiful” and “acceptable” in our society. It is what 10 year old girls are trying to achieve in order to feel pretty and gain attention and acceptance.
It isn’t an art form to put on eyeliner, eyebrows, matte lipstick, contour your entire face to the point in which you are unrecognizable from your bare face. It may be aesthetically pleasing, but it isn’t art. Women and girls are pushed to wear foundation, eye makeup, and whatever else every day. No one is pushed to look like a Rorschach test (see third photo in first photo set, lol). No one is pressured to wear makeup in the form in which we see at the top, but girls are pressured beyond belief to make their noses look smaller. Their eyes look bigger. Their eyebrows more shaped. Their eyelashes longer. Their cheeks higher. Their neck slimmer. Their eyes lighter. Their lips bigger… more seductive. And it goes on.
Know the difference between conventional makeup and artistic makeup. They are not the same, they are not to be conflated. We are not smashing the patriarchy with our winged eyeliner. We are not going against what men want by over lining our lips. Choice or not, we aren’t doing it for anything other than because we feel we have to.
Contour isn’t art.
not interested in getting involved in the rest of this discussion, for the most part, but to me this is a GREAT piece of advice that many people these days don't seem to be getting or understanding.
not everyone you meet or interact with is your friend, the requirements and expectations for respectful behaviour between friends is not the same as between strangers.
i can't be the only one who's just straight-up ... bored with women hating themselves. my mom keeps lamenting to me how upset she is about her gray hair. my friend stares at her laugh lines every day in agony. my sister loses sleep over the horrible unbearable thought of looking fat. and every time these women i love open up to me, i can't help but think ... then stop staring at yourself? stop drowning yourself, narcissus, and just fucking live your life instead of sitting in front of a mirror obeying cosmetic corporations' lies. just stop it. this is getting ridiculous. you're too smart to be falling for this bullshit. "oh no but these men who hate women told me that if i'm ugly i'm worthless!" girl if you actually believe that then good luck. but i am getting worse at being supportive of people whose nonsense worldviews keep them trapped in pain. stop looking at yourself start fucking living i am pleading you deserve to be happy and it is stupid that you disagree
umm so.. they found the debris from the submersible which means they died before knowing the doom of themselves let alone before the pressure could reach their nerves endings to signal any sort of pain mehh man the theories and the jokes were good as it lasted and at least it's a quick way to go so ig the best and the most unexcited ending? no conspiracy theories, no question marks, no great story endings just pure dumbassary
I watched the last episode of good omens season 1 and i wanna do an analysis like the other eps but I didn't get screenshots bcz of focusing too much on the episode I mean it was greeeat so now I'm kinda proscinatig and scared that I don't have anything worth to say
I hate hate hate that being a virgin these days are embarrassing not because it's your practice,not because you're an "oldhead" but because everybody thinks it's just proof for your unattractiveness and so many people *can't* tell their partners they're inexperienced and it leads to unsafe sex or awkward moments where the truth will be revealed anyways
idk why people are surprised the fans are eating up the gay incest plotline in the White Lotus, did you think mommy and daddy are only straight fetishes?
(incest is a form of validation run for the subordinate in the relationship and since queer people usually got it less than their counterparts...)

thinking about omega Clark holding down battinson and rubbing his clit on Bruce till his eye make up starts running down with the tears...all that tough exterior breaking down with how much the Man of Steel has been teasing him for hours and he can't do anything about it except take it... yeah
la tristesse durera toujours. being a fujoshi is payback for all of the sexualization our sisterhood faces daily
