#ThePowerofMakeup: Viral Makeup Trend Shows Women Posting Half-Finished Selfies to Stand Against Makeup Shamers
If you’ve been seeing loads of women on your timeline with half made-up faces, not to worry it’s not a glitch – it’s a trend!
Earlier on this month, beauty blogger – Nikkie Tutorials , posted an inspiring video on #ThePowerofMakeup specifically to keep ‘makeup shamers’ (Individuals against makeup) at bay. In the video she explains how those who are ‘anti-makeup’ may think women who wear makeup either have self-acceptance issues or are insecure, but in reality, these women might just love makeup’s enhancing ability or love putting on lipsticks and mascara. Sometimes makeup is just fun!
