[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In fairness to her, all of the articles about her "stance" on no.makeup are really, really projecting stuff into her. She hasn't made all that many comments about it actually, aside from when she first started. In fact I remember her distinctly saying she will wear it when she wants to and won't when she doesn't, bc it shouldn't be required. It's the entertainment media that wants to put her in the warrior against makeup trope. I remember last year someone tried to "call her out" on the red carpet for wearing makeup and she literally said "I do whatever the f$&# I want", and that was it. She wanted to wear it so she did.

I actually like her way better bc of that, people who are too dogmatic about frivolous things tend to be so lame( see, several DCUM posts!)

OP here. I see your point and can also see how the media played it up as more than she intended. When I posted I had just read an article about her statement back then about being real, raw, not caring what others think and then went into detail about her expensive face routine which includes make up and a make up artist and I thought wow, what is the difference besides color? And doesn’t this perpetuate the impossible standards that celebs/media set for women? Like, look at her with no make up and she is flawless - when in fact that isn’t the case at all. Anyway, good for her and yeah, at least it’s a reminder that great skin care/less makeup can be refreshing.[/quote]
