I've been noticing a bit of a theme on my Instagram lately: Wearing makeup apparently isn't "cool" anymore. At least, not during quarantine. Every time I scroll through my feed, I'm bombarded with messages like "let your skin breathe while in social isolation," and "you don't have to look perfect during a global crisis!"
And even though I know these comments are supposed to reassure me that it's okay not to care about the societal pressures of beauty while I'm stuck in my shoebox apartment, the undertone just feels...shame-y. It's almost like I'm being told that I shouldn't be wearing makeup right now, and if I want to (or am), I need to seriously re-evaluate my priorities. But to be honest, makeup is one of the only things holding me together during this quarantine.
