Makeup Haters

I honest don't understand why makeup has become such a negative and controversial issue, but it has. I'm tired of hearing that girls who wear makeup are "fake" and "insecure". Girls wear makeup for a ton of different reasons, and none of them are any of your business. I don't really have a lot of interests, I enjoy makeup and shopping, that's basically it. I do my makeup for fun, because I enjoy it. I'm not going to lie, I have acne and I'd never want to go out in public for strangers to see the cluster of pimples on my cheek. If my skin was flawless, I wouldn't mind to go out without makeup occasionally. It's not like I refuse to let people see me without it, my boyfriend sees me without it all the time. Not every girl wears makeup because she's insecure. But if she does wear makeup because she's insecure, do you really think saying "you look stupid with makeup and you're just insecure" really helps? And do you think makeup YouTubers are insecure because they wear makeup? They literally get in front of an HD camera with a bare face, that's 100% not insecurity! Sure, some girls have a hard time matching their foundation to their skin and some aren't t the best at applying their eyeliner but that doesn't mean you should make fun of them. It's a learning process. And what they do to feel good about themselves is NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS! My biggest problem with it though is that girls who wear makeup are "fake". Do you realize fake is a personality trait and that makeup does not affect your personality? I've worn makeup since I was in 6th grade, and people have always said that they hate me because I'm "fake". STOP JUDGING GIRLS BY THEIR MAKEUP. FAKE IS A PERSONALITY TRAIT, NOT CAUSED BY MAKEUP. Also, guys preach that they love the natural look but yet they love girls like Kim K who wear pounds of makeup.. the more makeup I wear, the more guys are interested. I honestly made myself look like a literal Barbie one day and it was my most liked selfie ever. Sure, some guys prefer natural but let's be honest, all of us look better with makeup (when it's done correctly). Does that mean you can't have beauty without it? No. I'm honestly convinced that girls who hate girls that wear makeup tried to do makeup and still looked ugly so now they just despise everyone who looks good with it on. Or maybe they're mad that when they do makeup, other girls wearing makeup still look better. I used to have a flawless face, no acne at all and people always said "omg she wears SO much makeup! she's so fake!" and like back at that time all I wore was foundation and mascara. Like, they literally assumed I poured pounds of makeup on my face just because I had smooth skin.
