I'd like to hear some interesting opinions about make-up and feminism. Do you believe the two are mutually exclusive? Can one be a feminist who wears make-up, or do you view the act of applying make-up as inherently anti-female? I'm doing research for a gender studies class, and am asking these questions in a variety of places. I'd love to hear what you have to say.

Hell yeah you can be a feminist and apply makeup! as a woman, or any individual who identifies as a woman, you can do whatever you would like to your own self, and it shouldn't take away from any feminist ideology you believe in, or make it less valid. A lot of women say makeup is another way of expression of self, while some say its done just to please men, or to conform to a set beauty ideal. All I know is I rock dark purple lipstick for myself, and I would be very suspicious of a fellow women who claimed it made me less of a feminist for doing so. not saying you are, just hypothetically ;) I get so worked up about feminism, great question.

It's 2014 makeup is unisex.

Most defiantly when Lynzie said. I'm a feminist and I love to wear makeup, but it's a unisex thing. I have no desire to be defined by what I can and can't wear, but I also feel that men shouldn't be held to that standard. A guy wants to put on foundation? Fine by me, wants to put on falsies? Then I'm going to envy that said guy as I can't apply false lashes worth a damn.

Agree with Olivia and Erin :) I actually don't care if a woman or man is wearing make-up- freedom of choice for everyone. I think there are feminists who want to wear make-up for whatever reason- I don't why it should be generally anti-female.

Now makeup has nothing to do with feminism. Men can wear it as well as women and both get the same reaction. Feminism is more so double standards but I think makeup is no longer a double standard. It's acceptable for both sex

Like Lynzie said, makeup is unisex. I am a feminist, and I am HUGE on equality for everyone. I could rant hardcore right now , I mean paragraphs but I will leave it at that!

Thank you for your comments. My faith in humanity is restored, just ever so slightly.
