I just saw some article about how leg makeup is a summer beauty essential, and that’s how I know we’re in hell! Ladies, it’s your duty to #empower yourself by covering your entire fucking body in a sarcophagus made of contoured concealer ($275.50 from sephora) so that the general public doesn’t end up vomiting en Masse and forever shunning you after being forced to witness how unforgivably disgusting, offensive, ugly, and un-instagrammable your uncovered skin is!!!!!
I saw some products the other day labeled “workout-ready makeup"— not just waterproof or sweatproof, which would make sense, because I live in Florida (it’s hot, sweat-proof anything is important, right up there with sunblock sometimes); or even euphemistically referring to sex, because this makeup was packaged and shelved alongside the sort of “teenybopper” makeup selections aimed at junior high & high school girls.
No, it was marketed under the concept… that one needed makeup to be ready to work out, and which would itself outlast that workout. Stuff like blush & contour… not waterproof mascara or anything, but on top of that, to make sure your cheekbones & nose look shaped up before you hop on a treadmill.
Who the fuck is that performance for? Why the fuck is that even a thing, let alone a thing some people (including kids) are gonna see & fully think is necessary?
