But here's the thing about giving up makeup — or, say, high heels or meat or social media : It can absolutely make you a happier, more fulfilled person. Sure it can! But it does not make you a superior person to others who haven't made that choice. If you ditch something because you used to rely so heavily on that it started to mess with how you live your life, and now that you've given it up you feel so much more free/chill/content/whatever, that's really cool. But so is reintegrating that thing back into your life in a healthy way. Or not. Either way: It's totally up to you, and you only.
