I mainly take into consideration the side effects of makeup on health as a reason for my hate towards it. In third world countries, the sold makeup isn't regulated and likely contain harmful chemicals due to needing to be as cheap as possible. Even in more developed countries, where the quality is far better, it still obviously has negative affect on the skin.
The people that do it as an art form will likely buy the best quality makeup so it isn't as bad. I hope.
In the end, I don't hate the act of doing makeup. It's a thousand year art form I deeply respect, I despise the modern commercial aspect of it and it's effect on its user health,both psychological and physical.
idk there's so many other things that people regularly do that's more damaging to their health. this one has misogynistic undertones - just let people do what makes them happy. there's other ways to push back against unrealistic body standards.
