So, like neon tubes, I guess. Tron and Cyberpunk aesthetic... Cybertron?

I mean... the fifth element has gotten some things right. A billionare is fucking shit up, we know opera sounds dope with a heavy beat, our cars talk to us.

Why not the makeup application?

Fair play, we did also find out that those powders might have been slowly poisoning people to death.

This reminds me of the time that the office was having all the asbestos panelling removed. Because of course it had asbestos panelling, dumped that it was.

One of the guys turned up with a t-shirt that said "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger", so perhaps those people just lacked the necessary force of will

If it was whitening lead, yeah. But you can have rouge from red ochre, literally dirt, aka egyptian earth.

It can be the same pigment as with modern makeup just without the oils as a glue. Perhaps it wouldn't even cause pimples.

Finely milled mineral powders are really, really bad for your lungs. A lot of makeup, for a very long time now, has been in this format.

By then we're going to be genetically modified with cuttlefish DNA and be able to change what we look like by will alone.

You have to use a lot though due to their lower adherence rate.

[–] Blubber28@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

I guess we are already pretty close to that with spray tan

Cushion foundations and blushes are a big thing now, and gel and cream formulas for many products have been popular for quite a while now too.

From the mid 00's to the late 10's in the west, the matte aesthetic was fashionable when it came to makeup, so everything from skin to eyeshadows and lipsticks was matte.

Thrn the late 10's till now, dewy skin and heavier blush has been fashionable. So there has been a rise is gooey products and hydrating skincare formulae.

Is this why people look shiny now?

You mean makeup spray then?

Airbrushing

Not too dissimilar to Brave New World...

Older guy here.

I have always avoided dating women who would plaster shit all over their faces. I'd rather see those pores, freckles (actually I'm sucker for freckles), etc. I do like a bit of eye liner or shadows (or whatever it's called) lipstick/gloss, mascara. Accents, if you will. But someone with their faces under a coat of primer, paint, and lacquer, like a car?

Also, I want to have a good idea of what they'll look like in the morning.

It's cute you think anyone cares about your opinion on women's makeup.

That's such a Reddit take.

Nope. I don't look for anything, I just avoid certain things, as I suspect most people do in their romantic endeavors.

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You avoid makeup that you can notice. The vast majority of women wear makeup, and often go to great lengths for a “natural” look.

My dude this is exactly what "no makeup makeup" is.
