it freaks me out how old 14 year olds look now they’re wearing crop tops and contouring allow them to be children 

I mean makeup is literally face paint.  It’s play, it’s a form of fun.  not hard seeing why it’s fun to children as well

NOPE girls as young as 14 being encourage to “paint” their face beyond recognition isn’t harmless fun to me in the slightest- at such a tough and vulnerable age the last thing girls need is to be pressured into having the same bullshit beauty standards that adult women have. you make it sound like they’re young children playing dressup, which isn’t the case. 

I don’t know, I think make up can be a good confidence booster for girls. Instead of worrying about everyone at school making fun of your acne, you can have a “flawless” complexion and winged eyeliner. It literally is playing dress up. You’re making your face into one that you’re proud of. Your face is your canvas and you’re the artist.

being told that they shouldn’t be proud of their natural faces and be ashamed of their acne to the point they attempt to pain themselves a bloody new one is not a confidence booster my god, at 14 these girls need to be told it’s ok to look how they look and not to be ashamed of the face they have. if you’re getting picked on it isn’t you that needs to change?!

Like IDK I have mixed feelings… cause on the one hand, I grew up before that was the norm and I still got all the same mean shit, and shit was super body police-y and who wore what mattered… I feel like really 14 year old girls have been kinda mean to eachother for a long time, and have had beauty standards of one sort or another for a long time, it’s just that they’re wearing contouring makeup instead of IDK eye glitter or whatever now?

Like I was told I should be proud of my natural face by adults at that age (which TBH pissed me off as I wore makeup as a form of self expression and still do) but also like teenage girls gave each other really hateful messages or at least that was what I experienced.

Though also I don’t understand being proud of my natural face, cause like it just kinda… grew there with zero intervention from me.  I had no involvement with it and no creative control.  Like you might as well tell me to be proud of that tree over there because I was equally involved in how that tree turned out.
