to see someone try to criticize the culture of beauty while going into a whole lot of trouble to hide her natural appearance. The cognitive dissonance in the video is almost surreal. It's not surprising that she feels insecure, given that she feels the need to hide herself under layers and layers of chemicals. It's also really sad that she puts on makeup to make herself feel better. It is not makeup that gives confidence; confidence is embracing who you really are as someone who is beautiful inside and out, regardless of what the outside world might think. I'm sorry, but this person badly needs therapy. (This is not an attack; I say it as someone who has gotten a lot of benefit from therapy.)
