Women Post Selfies With Half-Made-Up Faces To Fight Makeup Shaming
Women who love to wear a lot of makeup can sometimes be accused by others of being insecure or of being overly concerned with impressing men, but Nikkie, a Youtuber famous for her makeup tutorials and expertise, wants to change all that.
After she posted a video showing the power of makeup and how much she loves it, women started to post their own half-made-up selfies on Instagram, sharing their own insights with the hashtag #ThePowerOfMakeup. Some women enjoy makeup because it's fun, others because it makes them feel better, and yet others because it's an art form!

I think that you guys are missing the point. The only reason you say she's prettier without makeup is because it's cool and "empowering" to say that now. She's pretty when she feels pretty. With or without makeup.

Looks like 2 different people. Which can actually be a good thing. Gorgeous! Which ever one she chooses on any given day, she's still beautiful.

Christine, your profile picture is at an awful angle, with light on half your face and making you look real dumb when your coming on to every photo on here and talking about the angle and lighting. Shut up. And Christina, have you even read a single thing about this thread? That's entirely for her to decide! She is gorgeous with the makeup she chooses. That lipstick color compliments the skin perfectly! So pretty!

did you think about how hypocritical is to tell women in the first place, that they can do whatever they want to do with their bodies and then judge them, tell them what they shouldn't do. it is just not how things work. it is their body, our body, and we decide for ourselves. we shouldn't let others to tell us what we can or cannot do with our bodies. maybe you think she is prettier without makeup, but she may not see the same as you do when she looks in the mirror. remember that.

tbh they look better without makeup ; n; or maybe they exaggerated their makeup on purpose?
