OP, I’ve read the thread a bit and I just wanna say you’d be the cool ass aunt if you got her a hot popular item against this sub’s wishes lol.

Sincerely, An ex little girl with tastes.

Foundation first. I just deal with the glitter fallout lol, I’m a sparkly gal ✨.

I don’t cover them. I think they look attractive!

No probs! It was just a guess but I always pat myself on the back when I solve a problem 😉. Your acknowledgement made me smile!

Don’t forget to get a moisturizer that’s high in water content and low on oil lol!

Maybe it was moisturizing your skin and now you need to apply moisturizer.

I see what you mean but nah.

1. You’re used to seeing yourself w makeup as someone else said.

2. People are use to seeing you with makeup.

3. The expectation for women to look “normal” is totally deranged, assuming you’re one.

You probably just look like yourself without makeup. That’s neither good or bad, it’s just a fact.

Nah, I get what you’re saying girl and I can tell you’re probably a smart person, but that’s relativism stretched to lose meaning. The point of all of this is context. At some point over time things lose their power and context at which point nobody cares, but there are specific moments in time where power and context matters and we’re in one of those times with the rise of both globalism and populism, so it’s good to check. It’s pretty complicated and nuanced so I don’t want to get into it in great detail here, and I’m guessing the reason why some people chose to pretend like it doesn’t matter when it very clearly does in today’s dialogue is a backlash against all the delicacy and complexity of the situation, so I get it, but that doesn’t mean you can just reason it out. This isn’t a the sort of problem you can reason correctly with deductive logic, but a social situation that takes heuristics to learn correctly and that’s ever changing, more like an AI learning a pattern using neural networks lol.

As an East Asian, if you’re not doing it to come across as Asian it’s fine? But if you’re doing it to cosplay like an anime character in everyday life that does cross some line and will make me judge you. Not as in a “she’s not allowed way”, but as an “ew she’s one of those weird white people that fetishize my culture. Avoid!”

Btw, pretty sure Gyaru style was used for Japanese people to look kinda Western in a time that was less political than now so it’s funny how the trends cycle around btw.

Huh? I hate falsies for me because they are uncomfortable and a hassle FOR ME, but you do you girl! For what it’s worth, I think they look great on me and great on other people, I just can’t be bothered with it as a product FOR ME.
