![]() ![]() there’s a popular radfem post calling out the kardashian style of makeup (i hate calling it that but everyone knows what it means so it’s a useful phrase) because women were/are walking around with the “same faces” so to speak. there’s criticisms of that, as well as criticisms that exist purely to discuss what it means to be a girl and watch these “faces” come into vogue, and to participate. Makeup critique as a radfem is NOT just about discussing the compulsion to paint a flawless face over a natural one. i don’t just see “color on the face” - i see a specific makeup look is more infantilizing and childlike than a “kardashian” look, and that is incredibly important to state/analyze. i don’t know you so i’m not gonna accuse you of taking this too personally but i do think it’s rather presumptuous to assume that because there are Bigger Issues Here that it’s “fake woke” to point out societal pressure points. but i CLEARLY see patterns of pressure here that are affecting my female family members, their friends, and hundreds of high school girls on tik tok. ![]() i’m not going to draw distinctions on the amount of pressure from one look to the other, i understand that this isn’t THE most popular look compared to other makeup looks that are less “alt” looking. I get what you’re saying but i guess we’re just going to have to agree to disagree here, i don’t find it coincidental that all 5 of my female cousins all in different states between the ages of 13-17 are all e girls who are basically wearing the exact same face as the women in the photos op’s attached to other versions of this post. this is not at all a “fake woke” post lmfao, things done for “fun” don’t escape radfem analysis, sorry? THAT’S WHAT I’VE BEEN TRYING TO SAY but couldn’t articulate. plus the fact that a lot of these looks are heavily portrayed in hentai? that definitely needs criticizing and analyzing. i would have made this post myself but i wasn’t able to articulate the worry i had about this makeup look being used to pressure young girls. We can agree to disagree of course, but uhhhhhhhh stuff like this is E X A C T L Y included in my radfem analysis. So how would young girls suddenly seeing everyone with this specific look on their face and choosing to emulate it because it’s constantly around them on multiple platforms not equal pressure? and now is included in even bare bones makeup tutorials as a “basic” skill. it wasn’t mainstream and certainly not part of every day make up rituals. ![]() contouring was a makeup trend at first with no pressure, as it existed primarily in drag spaces and really was only applied by celebrities MUA that needed to make sure their celebrity was able to be photographed in different ways and in different lights. each time this happens, the product list becomes more extensive, requiring more products to achieve certain looks. trends blow through the makeup scene every so often and completely shift how women use the products.

On TikTok, the hashtag #egirl has over half a billion views. In this context, e-girl and gamer girl are often used synonymously. Varying definitions of the term suggest that an eGirl is a type of internet THOT who teasingly flirts with men, for online validation or clout. Rather, it is a term that can be self-assigned or imposed on someone as a label.Īs an insult, an “eGirl,” is a stereotype of a girl or woman who plays video games and goes online solely for male attention.

The 2019 eGirl style and social media aesthetic usually includes heavy goth-inspired makeup and punk style clothing.
