It is a societal weapon crafted to mask, distort, and modify the natural female face to suit patriarchal standards of desirability. [[Woman|Women]] are conditioned from girlhood to believe that bare skin is “ugly” and “unprofessional” while painting themselves is a requirement for acceptance, love, or even basic respect. Makeup, while sometimes seen as empowering, is deeply rooted in [[misogyny]], capitalism, and the commodification of the female body.<br /> <br /> == Control ==<br /> The societal expectation for women to wear makeup dates back centuries. From ancient Egypt to modern America, makeup has always been a performance. Women are expected to give to satisfy [[Male Gaze|male gaze]]. In modern times, the billion-dollar beauty industry profits off female insecurity, reinforcing the idea that without concealer, mascara, blush, and contour, a woman is not “complete.”</div> LoneVixen
