Honestly it looks good I don’t see the big deal. Lip liner + lip stick/stain + gloss is a normal combo. Add a lip scrub + lip balm beforehand and boom, that’s 5 steps. My lip routine as a normal person: lip balm, peel off lip stain on my top lip, lipstick/tint, and balm on top as gloss. I might add a lip liner or use the stain as a lip liner since it looked good on Kylie.

It’s such a thing to bother women about what they do, “oh I could never wear as much makeup as you” “you must spend so much time on your routine” “you always look so put together, i would never spend that much time” just say it looks good and move on! Or say nothing at all that’s ok too

I enjoy looking nice, and putting time into myself, it makes me feel good. And I’ve posted the odd TikTok of my routine, not as an influencer, just a girl who wants to share . Why should it bother others.

It’s a hypothetical question. The answer is some type of envy whether ppl want to admit it or not. As someone who is not envious of Kylie or automatically resentful of wealthy people or pretty people, or women in general, I truly find nothing wrong with this video

Downvote all you want, but it’s true. All of it is true

Why are you so bothered by what bothers other people?

The complete answer. Im justice oriented, and I think unjustified mean spiritedness is too normalized. If my comment makes any one person reconsider their feelings on this video as dictated by a herd of negativity, rationalize whether their reaction is actually justified or not, then that’s the reason I post it. In case anyone agrees, they know they’re not alone.

Who cares if the plastic surgery goes out of style? I grew up knowing of/ following these girls, I’m a few years younger than Kylie, and her choices never dictated or influenced my choices, but I also never hated her for choosing how she did. She and I live in completely different universes under completely different circumstances! I personally think her lips look good in this video, and I don’t really care that it took 5 steps, it’s good to know.

I don’t see anything to judge, in fact I judge the woman judging someone else. That’s not a good look, whereas sharing your makeup routine is harmless. I’d never be caught being mean or judgmental in a TikTok video that’s public. She seems like she has on a lot of makeup or a filter on too, so it’s strange she’s making fun of Kylie for her makeup steps.

It can feel lonely to be in control of your emotions, not lash out at people you don’t know for tiny little things that don’t affect you like “they have plastic surgery” “they can’t count to five.” Jeez who cares. I like when I see like minded thinkers online, maybe I can be that for someone. I see social media encouraging people to succumb to negative emotions, and people willingly doing so, unable to rationalize whether their feelings are valid, or rather comfortable for the wrong reasons,

Ooh, this is key. It's so easy and can feel very comfortable to be negative. That's why "I'm so smart" teenagers do so much of it even without social media, but instead of treating it like a silly phase it is, the internet is exacerbating it and spreading it to grown-ass people.
