i used to SOB about leaving the house due to my face at a young age, and i DEFINETLY grew into my features. I'm still young, but to anyone who is insecure and young, i can assure you there is a high chance you just haven't grown into your features yet

It took me some time to figure out which makeup works for my face. I realize now that browns compliment my brown hair more so I don't wear black mascara or eyeliner. I don't really do much contour on my nose to make it appear smaller because it just looks weird on my nose shape. I also wear less because I feel like less is more for me. Figuring out what works for me has also contributed to my fixing my overconsumption problem. I no longer buy makeup if I don't need it, even if it's trendy.

As both a teenager and someone who does drag, I see a huge difference between how I feel in drag makeup that intentionally contrasts my natural features, vs in normal dramatic makeup that is meant to change my appearance. I love makeup so much, but I feel like my creativity gets so drained seeing all of the ‘catfishing’ makeup transformations, because it makes me feel more like I need to be creating the appearance of ‘better’ features on myself to look more attractive. On the other hand, drag feels like an art - it’s a creative performance rather than an attempt at being an unnatural version of myself

i do agree with this idea though, i feel like we are unintentionally(debatable) creating some type of uniformity that would usually be seen within the dystopian trope, in order to preserve status and prestige-sorta linking with freud and his idea of superego and the Id,i do see this type of behaviour being carried out more,mostly due to the overexposure of like media,but still, losing that sense of identity to make another bystander identity their own is something,we as society need to realise and fix.

once again,a verrrrry insightful video <3

thank you for making this video!! as a 16 yr old girl it’s SO EASY to wanna change my features and hide everything i’m insecure abt. but i feel like bc i watch creators like you, spencer barbosa, alana lintao, and overall very uplifting and confident boosting content, i can still feel confident and not let myself change my appearance with makeup :)

i see lots of people say this about doris's makeup and ive seen many other asians say what im about to say; in asia makeup and womens beauty is very EXTRA. as many know asia is known for being innovative so makeup started changing from looking like a painting, to copying the west with natural makeup, to looking like a doll or unrealistic. asian governments and brands and social media have a really strong influence on women, womens weight, faces, body shapes, and of course makeup. drawing on our features has been a big part of the beauty standard and style all over asia, so yes to many it seems like we hate ourselves but its a trend that has grown from our governments trying to make us all look the same, but still feeds into the east asian trends of looking "unreal", and this trend to look as skinny and inhuman as possible effects asian women all over the world from seeing their homeland influences. doris is young and is most likely following trends she sees in east asia, its very sad many young asian girls hate themselves so much but its our governments and social medias that enforce harsh standards of beauty towards asian women.

girl i have to say it that jacket complimnts you so well

I love that you acknowledged that calling certain features "unrealistic" is harmful because people actually have these features naturally and it feels bitter and belittling to call them that. Everyone has different features periodt. Calling some "natural" or "attainable" and looking down on others just coz they fit the standard to a t with out enhancement is quite hypocritical to say the least and it also further pushes the idea of uniformity over diversity. God fordid a woman has an insane physique

i feel like plastic surgery is unrealistic (MOST OF THE TIME), because we're not supposed to change our bodies so drastically. it looks off and wrong because it is off and wrong. And i feel its addictive so the more surgeries they stack on top of each other the less real they look. obvs a one off surgery will look alright if it goes well

One thing I will add is that people who are an “average” of merged faces are seen as more attractive so I think that is why everyone looks the same they are trying to look like different people on one face

doris and her sibling shuu are always telling their fans “i’m caking up my face with 10 pounds of makeup” when they ask how they look so pretty like they’re drawing on completely new features and nothings wrong with that but it’s kinds crazy

thank you for making this, i 1000% agree…. makeup is looking more and more uncanny these days, and its what people wear daily?.  how do you not lose a bit of your self perception in the process when you’re actively fighting against a big nose or a small set of eyes or small lips? And at what point does surgery go from a life/face altering and highly invasive procedure, to just a convenience to save time putting on makeup, like eyelash extensions…? we are talking permanent alteration, loss of the features your parents gave you. it’s total nihilism in the face of the beauty standard. its so sad

Beauty blindness is definitely prevalent in all those lip filler stuff. Those fillers don't suit majority, there is just a small number of girls that genuinely look good with fillers and they look natural on them, but other girls are just blindly following this trend.
I have small lips, medium eyes and big nose, so my main focus of the face is nose. If I did lip fillers I would look too much and just silly, because it would drag attention from my nose to both - my nose and lips

I know people clown the whole visual weight trend and having to put your looks into some type of category all the time but I do think it's helpful for instances where you can't find a signature look or makeup that suits you. So, you end up feeling like you need to change your face. For me learning about Kitchener Essences and makeup archetypes definitely helped me become more comfortable with my individual features and how to highlight things I like about myself. I used to be so frustrated about looking crazy trying to do super snatched baddie makeup until I realized I have soft features and that type of makeup was just fighting what I have naturally.

I just started doing makeup a few years ago. I have always tried to highlight my features: my big eyes, uneven eyebrows, my larger nose, my smaller lips, and my long but completely straight lashes. But I know that the best way to change appearance is to accept that you will always be you, but you can change your body and add accessories! I, in fact, just got the piercings I've been wanting for years Today!! (they're Snakebites :>)

You’re right, bring back enhancing instead of creating a new face. Everyone looks the same these days. Ps you’ve got fantastic skin!

I’m glad that this is starting to be widely noticed and discussed, and stepped away from. It’s so freeing to use makeup to enhance your natural features, not take the time and spend the money on the products to do a whole beat every single time you go out.

I'm so glad my frontal lobe developed before I was ever capable of getting a nose job, lord ik I would have regretted it

about the clothing section what i will say is as a plus size girlie its very hard for me to find cute pants skirts ect. so anytime i see someone else with a similar build of course im asking where they bought it, not cuz i want that item but because i literally do not know where to look in the first place.

I tried every style of makeup and still thought I was ugly, learning that I don’t need to try to do baddie makeup on my soft features changed my life. Do what works for you and learn to love your beauty
