It’s always been cool. The phrase you’re looking for is “wrongly popularized by a rip-off teen romance novel that illustrates it as relationship-abuse.”

Well, depends on how much you put on to start with!

Heavy makeup is so unnecessary every day. Keep it simple and go all out when you are going out or for a special occasion.

The harmful drug here is society’s unrealistic expectations of women. The harmful drug here is media’s influence in making women feel like they’re not good enough. Being able to visually express yourself is not harmful. I love my makeup. I love to create and blend and explore colour palettes and I love to put it on my face the same reason you love to wear your favourite shirt. You feel good wearing that shirt and it also gives others a feel for your personality. Expressing yourself is not harmful; belittling women for their right to do so is.

Of course makeup is used as a tool to enhance beauty and can therefore have negative effects on one’s self esteem, warping their perception of beauty and in effect their own self worth. However instead of tacking that issue, some women feel the need to lecture others (almost always condescendingly) on what makeup is, what it does, when to wear it, how and why. Not wearing makeup doesn’t make you any more morally superior than the next person.

There was once this girl I knew, every day she covered herself in make up. One day I went over in the morning and she’d not put any on. She never looked so beautiful. She always wore foundation which covered her flawless skin and beautiful natural skin tone changes, the eyeliner she wore distracted from how big and bright her eyes were naturally, her lips were already a few shades pinker then her skin tone and it was the perfect match rather then the darker lipstick she wore. Make up took a beautiful girl and made her look like a machine. And she couldn’t believe without makeup was more beautiful.
