It’s a hall of mirrors out there. In general the internalization of the external gaze just pretty much sucks.

I’m not a makeup person on a regular basis. But I love getting dolled up sometimes. If I have a girlfriend who can help me. But mostly I’m bare faced and I’m cool with that.

My little girl who is 6 LOVES makeup. She loves glitter, and face paint, and colorful eyeshadow, and sometimes markers. She can also draw a perfect cat eye and is totally into drawing faces with makeup.

I have told her that as long as she uses makeup to make herself happy, it’s just an art form. As long as she does it because SHE likes it, I fully support her.

Judgment is silly.
