Alana Massey @AlanaMassey Follow Last year I wrote about how beauty and skincare are sacred communal rituals characterized by mutual femme generosity, read it instead of that mean one racked.com/2017/3/29/1496 In a space that is so often categorized as the domain of the vapid, vain, and competitive, there is instead depth, decency, and camaraderie. The idea that women wear makeup exclusively to be attractive to men is heteronormative, sexist, and also plainly inaccurate- especially when so many men blather on about how they prefer "natural" looks. "I'd say the biggest (and most damaging) societal misconception about people who care about beauty products is that they are, simply, vain and shallow," says Jessica, a 30-year-old Beauty Talk member who spent much of her teens and 2os resisting her love of makeup as she grappled with her relationship to and understanding of femininity. "I also very much believe that if makeup were a male hobby, it would be treated as maintenance and/or self-respect rather than a shallow fixation." She refers to her makeup as "fiercely feminine armor."

丹 Sam H. Escobar @myhairisblue Follow congratulations to the Outline, who managed to reinvent the "women only wear makeup to feel attractive to others" theory of vapidity, but for 2018 What I call the "New Skincare" is a break we were sold in the past. It encompasses -dewiness," and all-natural beauty" Itsakes sense for so populist aesthetic of contouring, the para makeup that's so big on Instagram and Yo showing you how to do this directly from the former has monopolized social capita the same enormous quantity of products. buying things, and displaying them for oth worked hard for what you have, even if you self-selects for superior genetics. 12:40 PM -30 Jan 2018
