Makeup artists on my Facebook

    So recently becoming a "Makeup Artist" is the new norm amongst young girls in their late teens early 20's!

    I have several girls on my Facebook posting faces caked in makeup promoting to be the next Picasso!

    Is it only me that finds this extremely irritating?

    Sorry if I offended anyone!

    Defriend then. Simples.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Some show before and after pictures, oh Jesus Christ.

    I abhor it. Especially them going on about true beauty and then plastering it on. I've worn makeup, for the stage, so people wont just see a ghost. I thought as well in our modern world it's an unfair standard placed on people. FFS, why waste so much time on appearance? The usual people were banging on about KONY a few years back and then bringbackourgirls

    They're all brain washed. Social media has become a power house whereby we are all influenced and we don't even realise it. It's all false consciousness. The reason all these girls are suddenly jumping on the make up artist bandwagon is because the beauty industry has such power over us that it's main aim is to make us feel insecure and ugly so we succomb and buy what they're selling.

    It's the same with make up artistry and social media. It's being perpetuated on social media so vastly that now most young girls believe that this is what they now must do and advance towards that. Instagram is crazy, it's just scrolling down image by image but we are unaware of what this is actually doing to us subconsciously. All these images are creating and perpetuating a certain ideal which young girls are so impressionable towards.

    Your post reminds me of the smart Gremlin in Gremlins 2. Just by the prose like, before you get offended!

    No you're not deluded. Make-up is the root of all evil.
    In fact, I would go further and say that make-up is the root of ALL of mankind's problems. Every single one of them. Even Crystal Swing.
    If women didn't wear make-up (and heels) then they would be forced to accept that they should be dating men on the same rung of the 'Good Looks Ladder'® as they are on (there are 10 steps in total).
    Women who are 5's, 6's and 7's become 8's, 9's and 10's thanks to Max Factor and Manolo Blahnik.
    This in turn causes all the genuine women (who are 8's, 9's and 10's) to resent the fake 8's, 9's and 10's.
    As you see, the male 8's, 9's and 10's should be theirs by birthright, but the faux good looking ladies, steal them from them.
    The 1's, 2's, 3's, 4's women obviously become 4's, 5's, 6's, 7s and so there really is nobody that this doesn't have a drastic and negative impact upon.
    Which begs the question, who is left to shag the men who are 1's, 2's, 3's and 4's when their women are all off chasing better looking men?
    Nobody, that's who, and this creates untold stress for the males of our species and they must find ways of releasing this pent up tension.
    Thus far, World Wars and violent video games have provided the only sufficient means of expressing that level of fury.
    Ban make up and heels though and women would have no choice but to stop playing dress up and have sex with men on the same 'Good Looks Ladder'® rung as they are on.
    World peace would soon follow. Mark my words.

    Every hole is a goal lad. You learn something every time. Don't be shallow and discriminate by appearance.

    Totally agree Anna, I think as we progress into the future girls will want to perfect themselves more and more and be like the girl they saw in a certain photo not truly knowing the mental state of the girl in that photo!

    She might hate how she looks it's just an outsiders opinion that ends up setting a standard and them trying to achieve that standard!

    There's so much wrong with society and so much people are oblivious to it, it's hard to witness! Girls think by achieving a certain standard in apply makeup that their problems/imperfections will just disappear but it doesn't work like that!

    There's decent enough money to be made at it to be honest. Happy days.

    Well that's me fcuked. Guess I can always find a vocation.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 38 oxw

    Because isn't their something else that girls may be doing instead of finding out how to contour and apply cheek bones where there isn't any in the first place??

    Why would girls want to sculpt themselves and others to appear different for a few hours till they have to remove it and start from scratch the next day?

    Fine, some may feel insecure or ugly without it but Jesus enough is enough like! It's daft!

    Those silly girls and their silly hobbies that sensible men posting on boards after midnight disapprove of. What a waste!

    I agree, there's plenty of things you could be doing instead. Nothing like a bit of variety to break up the day. Doing makeup all day long would be tiresome. When I'm not doing makeup, I'm painting nails, or applying eyelashes, or sculpting eyebrows, or waxing legs and intimate bits.
    God forbid a woman wants to take care of herself, tart!

    There is, but clearly these ones aren't.

    Why would I want to spend hours pumping iron in the gym when I'll lose it and have to start from scratch the next time the Christmas Party season rolls around? Same question :p

    See above

    People enjoy doing these things, that's all that matters. Personally what I find irritating is this proto-nanny psychoanalysing of every common human behaviour and trying to find a reason to deem it "harmful". It's analogous and every bit as irritating as the online trend of cultural authoritarians analysing common media and labelling various aspects of it "problematic". Can't we just leave people alone and let them be happy? Naturally if I didn't do anything I'd have a gigantic Moses beard and a labyrinth of curls in and around my bollocks. How is artificially interfering with those things any different to artificially colouring one's skin or eyelids? Serious question, I'm honestly not getting it - either artificially changing your appearance is annoying or it isn't. If people are taking issue with makeup but not with lads shaving their faces every morning, I genuinely don't understand what distinguishes one from the other - apart from the fact that shaving probably requires less effort.

    Most men if I'm not mistaken, and girls too disapprove of the layer of bullshXt that makeup applies.

    Wouldn't consider it a hobby either it's like a science, all women searching for that perfect face.
