"I do makeup for me, as expression, not for anyone else" is the biggest load of crock I've ever heard. Isn't it a little weird that everyone who does makeup 'for themselves' always aims for the same goal - making eyes look bigger, skin more youthful, lips fuller?

i definitely haven't done statistics on whether people respond to me more favorably depending on whether or not i wear eyeliner

It doesn't take statistics to know how signalling works. Humans have been doing this for like, all of recorded history; it's baked into our cultural norms.

That’s a weird question to ask, along the lines of questioning others sexuality or mates preference, she likes it because it activates neutrals in her brain that tells her she does

I think "I do it only for myself" is failing an introspection check, but I also know that if I was the only life left on Earth, getting out some paint and making faces in the mirror would still be a feature. Now that it's trained it's a part of myself.

Sinead O’Connor shaved her head in the 90s, going against the dominant culture. There might be an alt community celebrating alt style (like armpit hair and unshaven legs today) but isn’t a person’s ideal part choice as well as part product of conditioning?

Conscious explanations and subconscious motivations are seldom congruent. This is just the way we’re made.

And yet, I've only ever done makeup in private, where no one else can see or respond to me. It makes *me* happy to see myself look pretty, even if my standards for that have the same criteria as everyone else.
