    My mom was not known for good advice, but she did raise me with one bit that was wonderful: she said, "You never want people complimenting your makeup. You want them just saying, 'Oh you look so beautiful, do you wear makeup?' " I am so grateful for it.

      Some people have more natural beauty than others. But something I have learned in my life is that an honest big smile and a self-confidence is always beautiful. If Emma Stone's demeanor was that of the average woman, she wouldn't be attractive. But she is positive and smiles a lot and is always moving forward. I think she is hot as hell, but I find myself wondering why. It certainly isn't the makeup or natural beauty.

    In my 20s, I worked retail. I've never been a morning person, but I worked a 4 am to 2 pm shift. I quit wearing makeup to work so I didn't have to get up any earlier than necessary. Then another girl started working in my department. Her makeup was flawless every morning. I made myself get up earlier just so I could wear makeup to work and feel better about myself. Many women do the same thing I did: compare myself to someone else and become self-conscious about my appearance. It isn't worth it. Wear what makes you happy.

    I remember when I was a teenager everyone thinned their eyebrows pencil thin. I have naturally thick eyebrows - so whenever I went to get them cleaned up and waxed the woman doing it would try and pressure me to do more than a clean up. One woman said I had “man brows”. When thick brows were in and my friends had to draw and pencil in their brows since they didn’t grow back the same I would get comments for having beautiful brows. Fashion comes and goes but I think it’s more important to be comfortable in your own skin.

They were saying how 6-8 can do this, and 9-10 can do that. Like, I don’t know how they come up with their bs arbitrary scale, but it sickens me how much they talk like that. And what’s even crazier is that I bet all of them have a different idea of attractiveness looks like, so I don’t understand why they insist on having an arbitrary scale.
      And besides that, it’s so disgusting how women celebs get treated when they go from being underweight to a healthy weight, and all the guys online r saying how she’s so “ugly” and “fat” now. Especially in that case men don’t actually care about a woman being healthy.
      But irl most of what I’ve seen is men just making fun of a woman’s butt size, mostly saying it’s “too small” thanks to the whole big booty trend. And in general just kinda picking apart the appearance of a woman, being overly critical of her hair, makeup, skin, calling her names based on her appearance.

      My friend! It's a true rarity to spot someone not ignorant about corsets in the wild. So many people don't get that tightlacing was rare, risque, and fancy/luxurious, like wearing stiletto platform heels today, advised against medically and often morally, and usually for dressy occasions if at all, unless one had both the inclination and ability to incapacitate themselves all the time, which most didn't. Tightlacing wasn't even possible until the Victorian period, when women had already been wearing some form of stays for the last century or two.
      Always a pleasure.

      Corsets are GREAT for large breasted women, infinitely better than bras, which pull the shoulders forward and destroy posture. Instead of slinging the breasts from the shoulders corsets support them from below, from the core, it's so much better for the back.

    Brett, you have to react to the male gaze vs. female gaze makeup videos!

It kinda shows that the male gaze isn't as bad as so many women think they are.

      Everyone is trying to copy/paste other people's features and it looks completely wrong for their unique appearance. At least with makeup you can easily reverse looks. Dr. Gary Linkov just made a video talking about rhinoplasty in specific, and how everyone wants these tiny, pinched noses. But it doesn't look natural on every face type. Not to mention, with plastic surgery of that sort in specific, how you can end up compromising and degrading your facial structure trying to force a completely different feature. Which leads to multiple revision surgeries and lifelong maintenance.

      Many men do not age like fine wine...they just think they do and women care less about age and are more open to accept a partner that has no hair anymore, a fat belly, face liek leather and sagging skin. Most Men only want young women and an older woman, no matter how well she aged, are per se unacceptable. There are also women who age very very well. But men still do not want them. It is unfair biology. Men are wired to always want young women (even if they have no plans for children) while women live longer than men. Shitty deal for women, they are considered "old" after 30, so they spend literally > 50 years of their life being "old" in the eyes of most men.

    Even before I knew the word, I self differentiated. I was blessed with looks and a good figure, so I never had to worry about attracting men. But I already knew that I needed to work on my personality and core self to be truly attractive to men. Be yourself and be confident about it. And smile.

(It also wasn’t making them happy, but miserable and bitter towards men). I was 210lbs and women (including family) would tell me “you’re beautiful and healthy” I was not.

The rebuttal is always "wow you just told me you hate my make up", like GIRL YES WE DO IT IS COVERING UP YOUR NATURAL BEAUTY YOU DON'T NEED IT. And just saying, if make up and cosmetic surgery disappeared tomorrow, a lot of us would go up several attractiveness points since we'd no longer have to compete with exaggerated unnatural beauty. Women just need to listen to men when they say that they don't want this extra stuff.

      Ok tbf there are women I’ve seen and I like their eyebrows, specifically, but it’s far and few between. Just having a healthy look is the way to go. In general the less someone appears to have done the better impression I have of them.
      Dating someone who is always trend chasing and judging everyone’s outfits and comparing herself to them stresses me out to just imagine. I just want someone who is confident, normal, and only does any of this stuff because it’s fun and not to keep up with the Kardashians or whoever the trendsetter is that week.

    I accidentally took my brows pretty much off when I was around 10, goofing off with my mom’s hair remover cream that I found. They grew in, but I have dark coarse brows. I do get them waxed maybe twice a year then tweeze in between as needed. They’ve been the same way my entire adult life.

    Advice from an old woman. All those trends and fads are just making some big wig rich and spending your money. It's better to develop your own style. Put together a core wardrobe of timeless piece. Make them high quality that will last for years. Don't give into consumerism, it will only make you broke in the end. If you want to treat yourself on occasion that's fun, but don't spend all your money chasing what's trendy. Save it for something worth having.

    When I was loosing my eyebrows due to cancer treatments, I went to a makeup store and asked them to help me find an eyebrow brush to help me look like my eyebrows were the same. She got confused and asked me if I wanted them to look normal. I said yes and thought, how else would I want them to look? Thankfully, she found a good eyebrow pencil for me and most people didn’t realize that they were penciled in. Back in the day, I had the super thin over plucked eyebrows. Thankfully, my mom encouraged me to stop doing that.

    My eyes are already big.
    My face doesn't look good with thin brows.
    I never followed their "beauty standards" or "trends" because they don't complement my face. I have full cheeks and olive complexion.
    I rarely even wear make-up. I just wash my face and use cocoa butter cream around my eyes and mouth.
    I can't wear 5 lbs. of make-up. I'd feel like I was smothering.

    Unfortunately my eyebrow blindness started in the early 2000’s and I tweezed them to death. I wouldn’t be able to laminate my brows if I tried (which I wouldn’t), they’re non existent. I’m currently using a serum to grow them. At least the more recent trends didn’t involve tweezing them into oblivion. For the love of everything just love your brows and don’t try to change them. Trust me. ❤❤

    My poor poor husband has been telling me this stuff for years and i KNOW i have the “blindness” and followed all the trends
    but i always said “if you don’t mind it and i don’t embarrass you leaving the house, then imma do it just to make me happy”
    because Ive always just hated myself.
    I never blamed him and he never hopped on any of the trends either,
    just the temporary change especially in my youth just made me feel better and like i had some control over myself somehow
    (i was raised by an insane narcissist, my looks were all i was allowed to change on my own)
    never blamed my husband and definitely knew some of what i was doing was out there and i always checked in before doing something crazy so id know if it was TOO crazy like psych patient status, cause i was.
    He just let me do it and i eventually learned and grew out of it once i became a mom.
    Its all a phase and we just end up not giving a shit as we get older and grow up, then realize “well actually me being natural and not caring ISNT a bad thing, cause i feel pretty good now not exhausting myself with the trends and standards”
    just accepting ME as ME, hubby doesn’t care, my kids don’t care, don’t matter what i look like im still always wife and mommy no matter what crazy trend in the beauty community i might fall into my body a d face stay the same and stay recognizable and thats what my babies and my love see, not the crazy brows, make up, or colors they just look at my facial structure and hear my voice and know its me.
    Most kids don’t even remember the crazy looks, couldn’t tell you the difference if you changed your style growing up because thats not what burns into their brains, just the structure of your features, voice, and scent to identify its mommy.
    I still occasionally go off and need some outlet to change something on me like hair color and length, but im not giving myself crazy looks doing it now.
