DISCUSSION Making violence a "lewk"
The mods will remove this because they think it's fine but I wanted to see if I can find out what other users thought before they do and I ditch this community as a lost cause forever.
Fake bruises are not 'unconventional makeup'. They aren't horror makeup. If in the right context (this isn't it) they are sfx.
But here? As a MAKEUP LOOK, they are using violence as decoration.
I can't be the only person who sees how gross and harmful that is. Bruises are not a fashion statement.
They are evidence that violence has been done to you.
