    All makeup even just your regular 'natural-looking' stuff? I mean, I guess in that specific case, yeah.

    I hate wearing it personally but I feel pressure to live up to the idea of feminity which I hate for obvious enby reasons. It feels like a form of control "look this way that you don't want to or you're not a real woman." Like, growing up people were genuinely surprised that a girl didn't like makeup, and assumed I was trying to be "not like other girls" so I guess I just associate it with people trying to make me into something I'm not and then treating me like I'm not valid for not meeting those standards (that I don't want to meet in the first place but people assume I do because woman)

    I guess one person's disempowerment can be another person's empowerment? I guess the important thing is for everyone to have a choice and to not be pressured by other peoples standards. If it makes you feel strong then don't let me shame you for it.
