Appologies for the long read!

Backstory:
I walked into the drugstore barefaced, hair in a bun, wearing birkenstock sandals, black running leggings, & black graphic t-shirt with joker on it. I went in to purchace some eyebrow pencils- (I have pretty thick eyebrows already, but as the perfectionist I am, I must shape them so that they're EXACTLY even. Kind of like how Death The Kid is obsessed with symmetry, I too get triggerd when things aren't perfectly symmetrical. I used to use eyeshadow to shape them, but I hate how scruffy the lines come out & clean up w makeup wipes I have to do, due to fall out. So, I wanted to test if pencils would come out looking better.)

Context:
Anways, as I stand infront of the register while the cashier rings up my items, he lifts up one of the pencils then looks at me... then the pensils... and then me again.. 😐 And our conversation went like this:

Cashier- Is this for you?
Me- Yes
Cashier- Can I be honest with you-
Me- uh.. sure?
Cashier- Makeup is made for a specific type of woman. [continues anti-makup rant] natural always trumps it
Me- It's just for fun
Cashier- In todays society nothing is done for fun
Me- *awkward smile* ... ok

(My dad was with me aswell) As we leave the establishment my dad says that cashier was "hitting" on me bc he thought I was "beautiful." (A toxic lie dads always tell their daughters)🤦🏽‍♀️ Nevertheless, I've never been more confused in my life by a conversation. I don't know & idc if he was trying to flirt bc It sounded more a lot more like patranizing & scolding than it did flirting. Sounded more like a: 'you're too ugly/it's deception' or a 'your eyebrows are too big' kind of speach. All I know is that as a cashier, don't lecture costumers about what THEY buy with THEIR money. Just ring up our shit & shut up.

But do any of you understand his point he was trying to make? I wish I could remember the rest of his one-sided rant.

I say yes. I love the finished product when they have cute eyeshadow and lipstick colors. It's like art. But, I think it's a costume.

Without makeup most of these girls don't look anything like they do with it. We all know it. Some have terrible skin but instead taking a break from caking their face to let their skin breathe, they put more product on it. Some of them will even sleep with makeup on. Some wear it to the gym or to the pool. I'm genuinely curious about how many people pretend to believe or really think that women who do this are actually confident in their natural state.

Women are starting to wear so much makeup that you can't even distinguish a trans woman from an actual woman just by looking at their faces. Light makeup like mascara, a little eyeliner, lipstick, light blush isn't what I'm taking about. I'm talking about a full face like this. Layers and layers of 20 different products.

My cousin just hmu and asked me to hurry up and have a baby because she’s bored and wants a kid to love on. Mind you she has a wholeass husband, but neither wants kids. (Or at least he says he doesn’t because she doesn’t.) And They got a house filled with a million cats. If I even had a kid, we would never go over there anyways lmao 😂 I’m extremely tempted to tell her, just go make a baby but I try to be sympathetic because she gave up trying after miscarrying back in college. And now all she does is have abortions which I don’t respect that either, but she surely ain't getting more time with my kid than I would lol. Plus she’s too girly and she wants me to have a girl that she can doll up. Like nah, I’m more about natural shit and not into the makeup and nailpolish and all of that. Not happening. Wrong cousin, wrong future kid 😤
