It was years ago that Tyra Banks introduced or reintroduced, the concept of the SMIZE.....which is smiling with the eyes. It works.
I wish I only had to use a tinted moisturizer. Sometimes I could pull it off, but I'm usually pretty red and splotchy.
When it's at it's worst, it looks like the left photo here:

Today though there are really good options that do not require liquid foundations which is what I used for years but as I aged it would draw more attention to my laugh lines and crow's feet. Not the finished look I was going for. Have you ever tried Bare Minerals? You don't feel like you are wearing makeup. You go through the whole regimen of cleansing, toning and moisturizing and at my age includes a couple extra serums. The foundation is a loose powder applied with special brushes. It is the special brushes that can get pricey. But they do have a product called Redness Remedy you apply before applying the foundation. When finished it really looks natural while hiding blotches and dark spots. And it feels clean if that makes any sense.

We have a really nice Ulta Beauty store and they have people on hand to assist and allow you to try a product before you purchase it. Plus they school you on how to apply it correctly. They will hand you a mirror and have you go outside and see what you look like in natural light. For me daily use is tinted moisturizer. If I am going to get gussied up for a special occasion, it's Bare Minerals.
I've finally found my holy grail foundation and I'm never without it. I have several back ups too in different shades depending on how pale/not as pale my skin is. It's the Catrice HD liquid foundation. Only $11.
I don't know why you have to bring gender into it at all. As someone with Shingles, not as a man or a woman but as someone with Shingles, I find the mask liberating as I don't have to endure comments and looks when it flares up. I have a sibling with acni scars and my sibling experiences the same kind of liberation.
Guys are not looking at her lips and cheeks.. . they are looking at her ass, breasts and legs... she has every reason to continue to be self-conscious.So I stumbled across this article and found I agree with the person, if for different reasons, about how liberating wearing a mask makes me feel.
As a woman, I find wearing a face mask liberating – I'm no longer judged on my appearance
Certainly there can be few things more annoying than one of those chipper blokes who says, 'Give us a smile, love'www.independent.co.uk
"Having always been self-conscious about my looks, I like the fact I can now go about my business without being judged on my appearance by others – male or female. "
This helps to describe me. I know I don't have a great fashion sense and I don't wear makeup (the few times I've tried to put it on, either I didn't notice any change in my appearance or it was way too much, likely because no one ever taught me how to wear it, since my mother doesn't wear makeup). Now, unlike this writer, I'm actually a very happy person. But then I also don't have the best teeth (they are crooked, never had braces but needed them) so wearing a mask allows me to talk to people and smile whenever I want, as long as I want without feeling self conscious about my teeth, that people may be staring. They can't.
In addition, I find that trading wearing a mask for ditching the bra allows a sort of carefree feeling. It kinda brings into context, reality how people will tell you not to care so much about your looks, how most of the people you see in public, who may judge you, don't actually know you so why should you care about their opinion on your looks. Wearing a mask allows that excuse to sort of test this concept, especially when going to places that are less formal, like stores or for a walk around your neighborhood.
Now, let me say that I do think this could apply to men too. This shouldn't limit the conversation to just women or about women, only that I can see how women would find it more liberating than men.
I love the people that were skin tight athletic
That doesn’t really make much sense unless you’re trying to say that only a woman can call out sexist behaviour. Which obviously would be ridiculous.
And you and @nota bene are so annoyed I did the latter, you refuse to do the former? The cognitive dissonance of being a female conservatives must give you a headache.
But women are still judging the face. I honestly believe that there are a lot of women who are more self conscious about how other women view them than how other men view them.
You do know that there are women in this country who choose to wear the burkha because they want to, feel that it is for them, is part of their faith and/or their culture, right?
And I pointed out quite clearly that it could easily be the same for men.
That's what you just said.
It wasn't sexism. It was based on a single viewpoint, that of a woman. I even stated quite clearly that men could also feel liberated but that I could see how it may be more liberating/liberating for more women. I could easily be wrong in that opinion, but that opinion is not based in any sort of sexism.
Possibly. Depends. I think it won't be all that rare at that time though either. We will likely see somewhat of a fashion trend from this, especially since many have already purchased those masks.
Well you managed to call me out for the poor behaviour of generalising about right wing guys. Oddly you didn’t call out one of those guys in this very thread for his misogynist comments. I guess you pick your battles.
The defining attributes of Right-Libertarianism are an adherence to property rights and free-market capitalism which are conservative values.
