A friend of mine was told the other day that she looked "filthy" and "unclean", simply becasue she did not wear make-up in the picture that she had shown that other person. She also recieved other comments such as 'you look OK, but you'd look better with make-up'.
Has society & our culture really made it impossible for a woman to 'look good' without layering their face in a cake of make-up?
Such brainwashing is also strongly reinforced by the media. Everywhere I go these days - whether its just taking my daughter for a walk in her pram, or going grocery shpping, I cant help but notice young girls - as young as say maybe 10 - that have plastered their faces full of make-up.
But, at the end of the day, is make-up really necessary to make you look good? I see mums with newborns walking around the streets with bags under their eyes that sink right to their chins - but they still remain beautiful to me. I would never even think of calling them 'filthy', as their beauty never leaves
