Unpretty (A Personal Manifesta)

Why I am swearing off of makeup: 

1. I will not buy into a culture that oppresses me. 

2. I will not buy into a culture that tells me I am not good enough; I will not support an industry that thrives on my insecurity. 

3. I will not advertise such an industry on my face. 

4. Men don’t hide their flaws; why should I? 

5. It is not my responsibility to be pretty.
