same thing applies to makeup, so many people think the way to go is applying it like plaster to a wall, which makes them look like a clothes store mannequin
No, it should be applied minimally so you still look like a god damn human, just a human with eyeliner or whatever
fuck influencers and magazines and whoever else pushes this idea that you need to look glossy to be attractive, god damn
I would be careful about telling people what they should look like. The societal pressures to look pretty is one thing, but ultimately it's their body and if they want to put a bunch of makeup on that's their right. Some people just do it because it's fun afterall. You'd also be surprised the amount of product and effort goes into a "natural" look.
Collectively though, society is not having fun. If you look at rates of depression among young people, particularly girls, the numbers have skyrocketed since the dawn of social media and a big part of that is anxiety over self-image.
