honi soit qui mal y pense
Tu ne me connaîtras jamais.

When we un-packed it, the Paris curator was embarrassed to discover lipstick marks on its cheek: someone in the Louvre had played at being Pygmalion—or Hadrian—and kissed it. And who could blame them?

Wait Maya :(( I know you don’t support makeup itself but like....highlighter and glitter are so fun to put on! And interesting color looks and designs! It promotes creativity which is not bad :(( right?
i tried to make it clear that when i’m criticizing makeup i mean everyday makeup like girls feeling the need to use concealer/foundation/mascara to feel pretty based on societal standards, my criticism is that everyday makeup like that isn’t inherently self-expressive or creative and the makeup industry shouldn’t promote the idea that it is bc saying that applying concealer is just self-expression implies that everyday makeup is an overall positive thing when it was built on women's’ insecurities, everyday makeup and artistic/high-fashion makeup are different things in my opinion
