If you’re a woman and you don’t wear enough make-up, there’s about an 85% chance that the first person you see when you leave the house will ask if you’re tired or sick…
Conversely, if some dude’s inbuilt conceal-o-meter scans your eyeliner as a millimetre thicker than the Department of Warpaint’s cat eye regulations, you’re likely to be charged with five counts of Offences Against Natural Beauty…
Part of this phenomenon is that a lot of people, and almost all men, don’t understand how make-up works. Make-up was, and still is to a large extent, one of those private self-maintenance tasks ladies perform out of male view, because putting it on openly fucks with the illusion it’s supposed to create. Traditional make-up - and especially ‘no make-up make-up’ - is supposed to make your face look ‘naturally beautiful’…
Sponging on the foundation where dudes can see messes with men’s suspension of disbelief and can even cause anger, confusion or disgust. You tricked me!, he thinks. I thought you were a natural beauty! Now I see [it was] an illusion… “If I know she wears make-up,” muses the dude, “maybe she burps and farts as well. That’s not hot at all, and women are supposed to be hot…”
Wearing ‘too much’ make-up also renders the make-up itself visible, rather than contributing to the impression of a woman’s inbuilt, effortless fuckability. It’s often connected to unbecoming displays of overt sexuality: … ‘that heavy eye shadow makes you look like a whore’…
This does open up the enticing possibility of using make-up in rebellious ways, though - playing with colour and glitter or doing a hot pink lip can make you look fantastic and repel men who expect more subtlety in make-up practice. Or you could take a more direct approach, like writing IT’S NOT FOR YOU across your cheek in green shimmer eyeliner. You go girl.

Identity
French photographer duo Bruno Metra and Laurence Jeanson, collectively known as Metra-Jeanson, created a striking collection of photos that confront concepts of identity, beauty and otherness.
Experimenting with our visual perception, they apply cut outs of facial features from glossy magazines onto their model’s faces to create a new form of facial expression.
I WAS IN THE BATHROOM CLEANING AND I SAW MY SISTERS MAKEUP SO I PUT IT ON HORRIBLY ALL OVER MY FACE BECAUSE I WAS BORED AND IT WONT COME OFF NOW
GUYS WHAT DO I DO THIS WILL HAVE CONSIQUENCES
I WILL BE BULLIED
Me without makeup: *super hot*
Me with makeup: *super hot but w/ longer eyelashes*
Said no girl ever 😒
I’m a girl and I literally just said this
my ultimate life hack? i like, never wear makeup except for occasions where i want to feel overly hot/professional. this way, people who see me everyday won’t be shocked when i don’t wear makeup, they will instead be shocked at how much hotter i can become. how much potential i don’t unlock for no reason other than laziness
attention all vegetarians
a lot of people don’t know that mcdonalds fries contain beef in them and mcdonalds has been sued a long time ago for this but it’s still happening!!
the company says the “natural flavor” on the fries include beef flavoring
the official ingredients on the mcdonalds website for their french fries specifically says “natural beef flavoring”
even if you’re not a vegetarian or already know this, please reblog this and let people know
not 2 be a banksy freak but 2017 makeup culture is so depressing… the industry relentlessly peddling products to teens & the ridiculous level of consumption thats celebrated n normalised….worst of all ppl defending it saying its a wonderful thing that we live in an age of extreme makeup consumerism..soz i dont see anything wonderful about 14 yr old girls being told by rolls royce owning youtubers that they care about them so much that they are giving out a discount code on ludicrous amounts of essentially the same products every week so they cn perform femininity adequately enough to feel worth
And it’s even sadder when you bring this up around people and they get all defensive because everyone and their mother wants to be an MUA these days, and they don’t realize they’ve been handed such bullshit by these big companies. The companies have won when suddenly you can’t be an “empowered” women without “power brows” and perfect lipstick, and I see so many people on social media preaching that being an MUA makes them a stronger feminist; basically aligning feminism with consumerist makeup culture which is the exact opposite of what feminism actually is.
& I think the equally capitalist response to this phenomenon have been companies like The Ordinary, Glossier, Karity, Milk Cosmetics, etc. These companies preach a “pure, no-makeup” philosophy in an attempt to make themselves look better and trash the “mainstream” so that the consumer thinks they’re buying into a better, more “feminist” beauty scheme. It’s really funny considering that most of these millennial-geared, minimalist makeup brands have larger parent companies who comprise the very “mainstream” that’s supposedly being combated. Like, DECIEM, The Ordinary’s parent company literally has a whole line of products dedicated to skin lightening and proudly advertise their bleaching products in the year 2017. It’s all trash.
i’m watching cycle 12 of america’s next top model and the plus size model just said “you know, your body is a temple, and sometimes my temple just wants cheesecake” and i’ve never related to any statement more in my entire life
