This is deep. The more makeup you use, the less you have a right to your imperfections.
We all use makeup of one form or another, and it’s no one else that has any right to label parts of us as “imperfections” — especially when it’s generally redundant, anyhow. Negative self-talk needs no reinforcements, but damn if it isn’t a booming systemic industry.
No, we don’t all use make up in some form or another.
Oh? You go around in public naked? You don’t groom yourself before engaging socially? You don’t filter your speech options per the target audience?
We all modify & mask. Don’t be obtuse. It’s not complicated.
None of those are face paint

A bad one that I completely disagree with. Hence my post.
