not 2 be a banksy freak but 2017 makeup culture is so depressing… the industry relentlessly peddling products to teens & the ridiculous level of consumption thats celebrated n normalised….worst of all ppl defending it saying its a wonderful thing that we live in an age of extreme makeup consumerism..soz i dont see anything wonderful about 14 yr old girls being told by rolls royce owning youtubers that they care about them so much that they are giving out a discount code on ludicrous amounts of essentially the same products every week so they cn perform femininity adequately enough to feel worth
And it’s even sadder when you bring this up around people and they get all defensive because everyone and their mother wants to be an MUA these days, and they don’t realize they’ve been handed such bullshit by these big companies. The companies have won when suddenly you can’t be an “empowered” women without “power brows” and perfect lipstick, and I see so many people on social media preaching that being an MUA makes them a stronger feminist; basically aligning feminism with consumerist makeup culture which is the exact opposite of what feminism actually is.
& I think the equally capitalist response to this phenomenon have been companies like The Ordinary, Glossier, Karity, Milk Cosmetics, etc. These companies preach a “pure, no-makeup” philosophy in an attempt to make themselves look better and trash the “mainstream” so that the consumer thinks they’re buying into a better, more “feminist” beauty scheme. It’s really funny considering that most of these millennial-geared, minimalist makeup brands have larger parent companies who comprise the very “mainstream” that’s supposedly being combated. Like, DECIEM, The Ordinary’s parent company literally has a whole line of products dedicated to skin lightening and proudly advertise their bleaching products in the year 2017. It’s all trash.

‘LOVING VINCENT,’ an Animated Film Featuring 12 Oil Paintings per Second by Over 100 Painters
‘Loving Vincent’ will be the world’s first feature length painted animation, with every shot painted with oil paints on canvas, just as Van Gogh himself painted. Written & Directed by Dorota Kobiela & Hugh Welchman, produced by Poland’s BreakThru Films & UK’s Trademark Films. The film is scheduled for a 2017 release.
- “Every one of the 65,000 frames of the film is an oil-painting hand-painted by 125 professional oil-painters who traveled from all across Europe to the Loving Vincent studios in Poland and Greece to be a part of the production.”
- “The film was first shot as a live action film with actors then hand-painted over frame-by-frame in oils. The final effect is an interaction of the performance of the actors playing Vincent’s famous portraits, and the performance of the painting animators, bringing these characters into the medium of paint.”
- “Loving Vincent is an investigation delving into the life and controversial death of Vincent Van Gogh, one of the world’s most beloved painters, as told through his paintings and by the characters that inhabit them,”
- “The intrigue unfolds through interviews with the characters closest to Vincent and through dramatic reconstructions of the events leading up to his death.”
