"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?

What do you think about someone who does make up even when not going out? Put on makeup and then stay home, alone (also no posting pics to Instagram etc). Would you be more inclined to believe this person when they say they do it for themselves?

slightly, but not entirely? I also sometimes put makeup on at home; it's hard to separate this from doing it for other people, tho. Like, religion might beat strong rules into you, and you find yourself still doing those rules even when alone. I'd still say it's religion's fault.

I see! It's definitely hard to separe those things. What would you think about someone saying, like, "I play guitar to express myself, not for other people", even though they play pretty, pop-y sounding tunes that most people find pleasant? Is it the same kinda thing for you?
