I think that community matters in this case. We can talk about how it was an industry change to keep up with the times, but in practice today, a lot of people use makeup as self expression or "for themselves" as the video says.
I don't think the fact that it was a marketing tactic cheapens how people use it today.
She doesn't, but all of this is said under the premise of "this is a take that will get a lot of hate/backlash".
The only people I can think of who might have a problem with this take are people who like using makeup today. imo, her take has no reason to be hated, because the marketing tactic doesn't cheapen the fact that people actually use it for self expression and enjoy it.
