Fake eye lashes. Holy God do they look stupid but somehow are so normalized. No idea how some women find the courage to walk outside with what look to me like Muppet eyes.
For the love of God ladies, tone it down. Your eyes are beautiful as they are! Mascara is one thing, but if I feel a fucking breeze every time you blink, it’s gone too far.
Imagine you’re in Photoshop “retouching” your own portrait. First, you remove the little bit of makeup that smudged near your eye. Fair enough. It was distracting. But now that it’s gone, your eye sees a wrinkle and decides that’s probably distracting too.
Now the wrinkle’s gone and you’re studying the image again. Aha! A mole near your temple! That can go, too.
So now the makeup smudge, the wrinkle, and the mole are gone. You study the image again for flaws…
And that’s how it happens. Every time you “fix” something you re-evaluate and will always find something to change because your goal has slowly shifted from making you beautiful by reducing “distractions”, it’s to find and fix “flaws” which, turns out, are infinite when you take this approach.
