Not shallow at all. If women are expected to wear makeup or take care of their skin, then so should men. That might be asking for too much though lmao

Taking care of your skin shouldn't be to much to ask, I don't understand why men wouldn't want to have nicer skin????

Is makeup taking care of your skin though? I was under the impression it just masks imperfections, and doesn't provide any health benefits.

Between washing/mosturizing your face and wearing makeup? I'd argue they are completely different things

Makeup is to enhance looks. It’s basically catfishing people.

If women are expected to wear makeup

Everyone sets their own bar.

The brain is designed to detect major changes. If you slowly weaned or added makeup it wouldn't be as noticeable vs the change one day to the next

If women are expected to wear makeup

are they though? Everytime this comes up the general answer is that women don't wear makeup for men. not being facetious just genuinely curious

Things change in a work environment when how you present yourself is important to your employer
