TBH, I tend to judge people a little for those things, but when I find myself doing it, I try to control my thoughts. Especially since having children, I feel a lot of empathy for women who are trying to juggle mothering and work.
I only judge if they are smug about it. I know people like this. Of course I don’t judge if someone is overweight because of medical issues, but some are fat because they enjoy drinking and eating out and indulgence more than staying fit. Or they wear cheap clothes because they think they are more real or less pretentious. Or they have a bad haircut because they want to seem low maintenance. They criticize others who do care about their looks as shallow, snobbish, or whatever.

Exactly. And such a weird call out in this post.
It’s funny bc I have really imperfect skin but literally EVERYONE everyone tells me they don’t believe me bc I am super good at make up. I don’t have like tons of acne but I def get some serious zits now and then.
I really don’t notice people’s skin imperfections unless they are severe and then I just feel bad for them (bc I know how it can feel). People with naturally super perfect skin though I do notice bc DAMNNNN they got lucky. And that’s all it is - pure luck.
I think unless your skin is really rough - with some decent make up skills - skin can be made to be clear and even enough that it’s not a huge deal breaker. I honestly think most women do look better with some face make-up, including some blush/color, so covering a blemish here and there doesn’t change all that much.
Those of us who have perfect skin can tell of others who do not by how much makeup is applied. The benefit of great skin is you do not need a lot of makeup. Anytime I see someone with makeup I think they are hiding skin flaws. Best thing to do is see a dermatologist as soon as possible.
