yeah it's pretty dumb
especially when you start treading into territory like waxing, and obsessing over being the smallest size in clothing possible to the point where it's extremely unhealthy, etc

pretty retarded, degrading, and shallow to do all that just to impress other people
there's nothing wrong with waxing
if it's for yourself then sure
but if it's to impress other people then you're wrong
Why not both? Some people just want to look their best.
well for starters, stuff like this is straight up false advertising


The beauty industry is corrupt and hell and preys upon young women. That's a pretty well known fact.

This thread is about the idea of makeup in the first place.
when I work for Monsanto I'm going to propose we join the makeup industry

Why? All the misogynists love hating on makeup.

so you disagree with them just because they're misogynists...?

And yes, some things deserve to be covered up.

that's a valid point. ugly people are ugly, i guess. (not sarcasm)

Quote
When a guy has a zit and applies coverup to it, no one cares.

never known a dude who has ever done that

Quote
Not to mention that most of the widespread makeup is used for enhancement, not covering stuff up - lipstick, eyeliner, blush, foundation, etc.

yeah i'm okay with that i suppose
I don't cut quotes, just to let you know, so I'll just go down the line in paragraphs

I said that only because you were surprised I'm taking this stance, when it shouldn't be a surprise I am.

And yes, exactly. Fixing unappealing things about yourself shouldn't result in you being shamed.

I've known plenty, lol. Might be an American thing.

Those things (enhancement) vastly overpopulate the "covering up" things.

taking 2-3 hours to put your face on is wasting your life
No sane person does that; that's a stereotype.

just for reference this is the tweet that spawned my rant

Overdoing anything (the three hours example) is bad - that doesn't mean anyone who uses makeup should be judged as having low self esteem.

there are people who refuse to leave the house without makeup because they think that other people seeing them will somehow ruin their reputation

if that's not insecure, I don't know what is
Are you just ignoring what I'm saying, lol? I agree with that. Overdoing anything, including makeup, is bad. That doesn't mean we should judge the 95% of people who don't overdo it.

also since you're so anti-GMO, you should probably take a look at the ingredients in that shit
I use hair products, and that's just as bad as makeup ingredient-wise. Neither touches the toxicity of GMO products.

not being able to leave the house without makeup doesn't mean that the makeup they're doing is overdone
plus what's overdone and isn't is highly subjective
I'm not referring to just the amount when I say overdone, I'm referring to the importance and stress put around it.

Makeup is just the new hip thing to hate on, when there's literally nothing wrong with using it responsibly.

stuff that makes contact with your skin for long periods of time can enter your bloodstream
if you're not going to criticize of that then you're hypocritical
Even if you slather yourself with foundation, it's not as damaging as eating GMOs.

I just acknowledged makeup and hair products are bad for your health, but they don't TOUCH how bad for you GMOs are.

actually some of the more hardcore feminists have been hating on makeup for quite a long time now

didn't know that

i don't surround myself with hardcore feminists so i guess that's to be expected

You can't shame people for wanting to look their best. Most people aren't ugly, just unkempt/unhealthy.

I can see how improving your own image can boost self esteem, but you're generalising way too much.

I think you'll find wearing makeup has just as much to do with style, if not more.

so you're okay with skin poisoning

how do you feel about pain essentially being a requirement to ""beauty""?
I'm okay with personal choice, and makeup isn't nearly as damaging as the shit people guzzle down daily.

And no, pain is far from a requirement for beauty. The girls I hang around with wear lip gloss, and maybe blush and lipstick on special occasions. They're normal, functioning people. This hyperbolic situation where women have to cover themselves head to toe with glitter to be appealing doesn't exist outside of a narrative.

even the vegan who shops at farmer's markets but still can't leave the house without dressing up as a super model every day?
Never met a person like that, even people I know who eat McDonalds weekly don't wear all that much makeup. We can go around and around answering anecdote with anecdote, it accomplishes nothing.

pretty much this

but in the defense of your original point theres definitely extreme cases where people's make up obsessions are unhealthy but that can be said about anything really

go to any fancy event and pain/discomfort was a requirement somewhere in the process of dressing up for it
That's another problem with the industry/social perception, not a problem with the substance of makeup or people who don't use it that excessively.

you haven't been to southern california then
also people who do to McD's that much probably don't give a shit
No, I haven't. What's your point?

I've already told you that overdoing it is bad, I don't know what you want me to say here. Using it in moderation isn't bad whatsoever.

I thought you liked arguing for the sake of arguing, so I figured I'd indulge it
I actually hate arguing, I just want people to know what my views are.

And since people generally dislike them, I kinda have to argue to defend them.
