if i have to go through all the pageantry of graduation anyway, i’d at least like to be able to wear makeup and maybe even heels, but i’m not gonna because i also don’t want my mom looking at me like i just killed her dog all day. i love my parents to death, but i’m really tired of all the gender policing.

I just got in a fight with my step dad over whether or not makeup is genderless. His argument was that I go to my room.

this guy that i talk to wore eyeliner to school today and it was so cute, but he was obviously self-concious about it. he asked me if it looked weird and i was like "no!!!! u look so good" and he was so happy it made my day

I’ve been thinking a lot about makeup. When I was just beginning my journey into teendom, I was swept up in the idea that “no makeup is better than any makeup” - that bit of internalized misogyny that bites every girl who says they’re “not like OTHER girls”. As I have grown into myself as a person I have come to first tolerate, then actively enjoy makeup. Now, wearing makeup feels like a “take that” to my younger self, because as I’ve grown I’ve learned that there’s no wrong way to be a girl and there’s nothing wrong with being “like the other girls”. At the same time, when I purchase or wear makeup I feel as though I am buying into an industry with unrealistic standards specifically created to prey on the insecurities of girls and women. My goal this year is to find the happy medium and to advocate more openly for makeup as a gender-neutral product and an art form, and less as a way to “hide” insecurities and flaws.
