what people usually mean by “makeup is an art form” is they use 11 shades to contour themselves into the same face

like i know i’m a huge nasty ogre and in the terrible event that this post got more than 20 notes someone would inevitably tell me my brows are ugly as tho that has any type of bearing but listen. makeup does so much more to promote conformity than it does to promote artistry.

i dont mean this as like “you sheep all look the same and you’re not REAL artists” i mean literally makeup tutorials and makeup that most bosses expect you to wear and contour that basically paints a new “universally attractive” bone structure over your own aren'tp particularly creative. and to protect that under the guise of “artistry” is sad and limiting and it enables multibillion dollar corporations led by men to continue to make women feel like shit and it enables our bosses to pay us less or not hire us for not performing that “artistry”
