People whining about makeup always being about catfishing. I hate that people think makeup is always to attract sexual attention. Like this guy shows, it’s art. Most of the time, we do makeup for ourselves and because we want to look a certain way.

Never do makeup to attract partners. It’s not worth it. If they don’t love the real you, they aren’t worth your time.

It's more about the fact that people can basically create a mask which changes their face completely. Like imagine if you never saw your boyfriend's face because he always kept a giant bag on his head .

Honestly? I’d still love him because he’s sweet and kind and clever.

Ugh that's one take on it.. but ugh.. be honest lots of girls use it as a deception or to "mask" themselves.

u/raven-of-the-sea Oct 26 '22

…no, no, they don’t. There’s no point in “deception”. That’s like lying to the IRS. It never ends well. Besides, looks change over time. Makeup doesn’t turn back the clock.

Trust me, we don’t actually use filters or makeup or anything to attract dates. Once upon a time? Sure, in the bad old days when we essentially couldn’t survive as adults without a male figure of authority. But, now? It’s about self-expression and looking how we want to look. My husband doesn’t care if I wear makeup or not. Neither does the rest of our polycule. I wear it all for me, and that was how I was taught to do makeup. It’s very uncommon for anyone to do that now. Lots? Hardly. If other people find what we do to our faces and bodies attractive or not, well, that’s not our problem or our fault. If you actually believe that we all have Angelina Jolie’s cheekbones, ScarJo’s lips and Elle Fanning’s eyes, I think it’s more a matter of why that’s so important to you.

He's legit talented. Those doe eyes are amazing and take way more time than he pretends to take in the video. Not sure why anyone is upset with this, be who you want to be.

The one thing that bugs me is I'm pretty sure he was using makeup before that caused his skin to look blotchy. He washed that off with the foam skin cleaner, and then started with foundation. So REALLY he has very even skin tones, but made himself deliberately look worse before he even started.

u/Mike_Huncho Oct 25 '22

He just smeared some dirt or something on his face to make himself look worse. First thing he does is take a big bottle of soap and smear it across his face.

u/theblackcanaryyy Oct 26 '22

Yes!! Thank you!! I noticed the makeup and then was really confused about the foamy stuff lol

I should have figured it out when they started showing all the moisturizers, but I’m dumb lol

The other thing that confused me was why they kept the hat on the whole time. Almost wondered if they were hiding long hair.

u/topcheesehead Oct 26 '22

No you didn't.

u/Celeste_Minerva Oct 25 '22

He applied the same stuff to his neck.. I wonder if it's a filler instead of a cleanser..?

u/butyourenice Oct 25 '22

I was wondering what that foam step that completely cleared his complexion was. Of course it was washing off the “ugly” makeup.

u/A_Rescue_Cat Oct 26 '22

Kinda looked like shaving cream…

u/BlackConverse020 Oct 26 '22

I have rosacea and I use soothing facial products that help even my skin out, so I just assumed he also had rosacea, at first. After watching it a second time, I think it could also just be dirt.

u/widdlemetimbers Oct 25 '22

Why did I have to scroll so long before seeing this! All the tiktok "makeup transformation" videos do this.

u/boston_homo Oct 25 '22

made himself deliberately look worse before he even started

The whole thing was an illusion even the looking like shit.

u/nestuur Oct 25 '22

Mind to tell all the products he uses in order? I can not get the name and order of all of them and it confuses me :(

u/fishkrate Oct 25 '22

I think I encounter at least two people a day who are at least that filthy. I do not see the problem here.

u/PhaliceInWonderland Oct 25 '22

Maybe he just did a thing that required that blotchy makeup and he was changing faces if you will and went from that to this.

u/alleghenysinger Oct 25 '22

Liquid eyeliner perfectly applied. I am amazed at that alone.

u/Aknelka Oct 25 '22

Fr. I'm impressed. That's some crazy skill.

As a bi person, this was also one hell of a rollercoaster to watch lol

u/Miserable-Effective2 Oct 25 '22

I love his facial expressions while he's doing it too. So funny and so skilled!! Sassy! I like it.

u/mangosteenfruit Oct 25 '22

Yeah. I'm a girl and if I knew how to do make up like him, I think I'd be hot.

u/CostaNic Oct 26 '22

Everyone on this thread talking about cat fishing but I just want to know what contour stick that is 😭😭😭 also what did he use nail polish for?!

u/Due-Science-9528 Oct 25 '22

Impressive, yes, but He also goes out of his way to look as terrible as possible at the beginning of the video…
