This is deep. The more makeup you use, the less you have a right to your imperfections.
We all use makeup of one form or another, and it's no one else that has any right to label parts of us as "imperfections" — especially when it's generally redundant, anyhow. Negative self-talk needs no reinforcements, but damn if it isn't a booming systemic industry.
No, we don’t all use make up in some form or another.
Oh? You go around in public naked? You don't groom yourself before engaging socially? You don't filter your speech options per the target audience?
We all modify & mask. Don't be obtuse. It's not complicated.
None of those are face paint

Whiffs of that other place, more and more. 🫠
A bad one that I completely disagree with. Hence my post.
Hey, I'm not the one that'd arrest me for going around naked!
Check your local laws, friend. Be free.
You’re being obtuse. None of that is make up.
Ah, I stand corrected: it is complicated, apparently. Good luck, there,
It’s not complicated, but you’re complicating it by saying clothing, grooming, filtering thought from speech are all the same as make-up.
Better get to work, kiddo. You've got a hard row to hoe, it looks like.
I dunno what that means but it might explain your delusions.
