Women Are Posting #PowerOfMakeup Selfies To Combat Makeup Shaming, And It's Amazing

Every way you turn, it seems like women's appearances are on display to be ripped apart. Whether they're not wearing any makeup, they're wearing too much, or they just looked at someone the wrong way, our bodies are viewed as public property. In response to makeup shaming, which is criticizing women for "deceiving" others by wearing makeup, these women have posted photos of themselves half made-up, half natural. The idea is to show that makeup is for fun, not to change who you are or to cover up insecurities. This trend was inspired by the YouTube artist NikkieTutorials in her video about the power of makeup. Join the conversation by posting your own under the #PowerOfMakeup tag!
