Although yes, this video is long, I wanted to portray how nowadays most if not all young women struggle with their image and how they portray themselves. Many of us despise posting a photo without any filter or factune, even if we have a full face of makeup on. This past year I actually deleted all of my social media simply because it was destroying me every day to see myself in the mirror and not be happy with what I saw becuase it wasn’t what social media or society in general would consider to be beautiful (or at least, that’s what I thought). I also used to wear a full face of makeup every day, which would take about an hour to do, so I would wake up extra early. From contouring, to over lining my lips a little too much (as I did in the video), to just putting on layers and layers until I felt hidden. Nowadays, I wear a little makeup as I can in order to push myself to accept my beauty and my wonderful body and face that god gave me. When I first heard Billie Eilish’s song “idontwannabeyouanymore”, it made me realize just how much we are all truly tied down by society’s standards of beauty and perfection, and how we should all stop hiding behind filters and makeup. This video simply puts all that I’ve experienced in the past year in a nutshell - feeling unworthy or not pretty unless I didn’t have makeup on, and not being brave enough to post a selfie unless I had some form of filter on it that would smooth my face out (even though now I realize my skin is perfectly fine). Overall, this video represents how I broke through my fear of being my natural self, and accept my beauty, becuase we are all perfectly imperfect, and that is what makes every one of us unique!
