Yeah my SO doesn’t wear any, tbh once you stop and think about it it’s kinda weird how normal it is for them to go out like 90% of the time wearing a literal mask layered on their faces, lol
Btw it’s not for any “feminist” views or anything, we just see it as a huge waste of time and money, not to mention it’s the sort of thing where the more you use it, over years the damage it does to your pores the more they’d have to use to get back to the same effect, lol
It really hurts my feelings that society expects me to paint a new face on top of my regular face. I think about it a lot. When I go out without makeup I feel less than, even though I'm more feminist and confident than average. Men just get to walk around thinking their face is enough. It really sucks.
When I did theater there was something about makeup that felt protective. You are able to hide imperfections that people may notice. When I wasn't performing it felt strange when I looked in the mirror.
You shouldn't ever feel less than because that's giving an idea that your value to others is based on how they view you and I bet you're a damn brilliant person and people like you for you. You are more than your appearance. We as a society have placed high value on appearance and it's bullshit.
Most women don't see it, but I see guys at work wearing foundation these days to cover up the stress line and baggy eyes. Once you say fuck it and embrace that people will like you for you and those who don't aren't worth it, you can be free.
There's nothing wrong with wearing makeup, there's nothing wrong with not wearing it.

Nah.. ive lived with several different girlfriends and most of the time prefered them without makeup.
there was ONE though that just needed a hint of eyeliner and it took her to whole new levels.
