They will call your lip lines flaws. Your neck folds “problems.” Your pores imperfections. But none of that is truth. It’s capitalism dressed in insecurity, whispering that you’re broken so it can sell you the fix.
Your body doesn’t need correction; it needs compassion. Self-care is sacred. But obsession is consumerism in disguise. The purpose of makeup, skincare, or any form of beauty ritual is to enhance what life already gave you, not to modify you into a passing trend.
If something, be it makeup, a treatment, or even surgery, truly makes you feel powerful, do it. But do it for yourself, not because the internet decided that natural texture is now “out of style.” Because what’s praised today will be pitied tomorrow. That’s how trends work. They shift to keep you buying, not to help you love yourself.
So pause. Ask yourself: do I need this, or was I taught to need this?
Be wiser than the system. Love what you’ve been given. Nurture it, don’t erase it.
You are not a flaw to be fixed; you are an art already complete. ❤
