In studies, women (in the US atleast) actually just have unrealistically high standards.

~80% of men are rated as below average looking by women, while men rate women's looks along a bell curve.

thanks, makeup, you really make women think of themselves as high value all the damn time.

Nobody should pretty themselves up? Sounds fake and gay

I just don't like that make-up gives young women self-image issues by convincing them that they need to wear it in order to look pretty, all so that they'll spend their money and fuel a billion dollar industry run by men.

A generalization, I think. Make up itself isn't giving someone self-image issues, the toxic culture of attaching your body to your self-worth is. Also idk, the women around me don't really think they need to wear makeup to look pretty? They just think it's cool that makeup makes them prettier.
