This is one of the biggest reasons I never got into makeup. I remember being a teen and hearing people ask women, "Are you okay?" when they didn't do their full makeup routine. I thought, "Man, it's got to hurt to feel like having a natural face means something's wrong with you. I'd rather go into the world how I am and have that be accepted as normal."

is she pale and uses it to add color? makes a lot of sense.

i am a very pale dude and people accuse me of being sick my entire life ever since i was a kid. i've never really been sick though.

it never occurs to people that being pale is natural or acceptable. it's always something to mock, and make fun of and seeing as negative.

i just think it's fucking weird to be so judgemental and hostile about other people's skin color(s). but i don't ever really comment or think about on other people's pigments or lack thereof.
