«Grow Up,» a TikToker Says to Women Who Don’t Wear Makeup, and the Comments Are Heated

As society evolves, so do the standards of beauty and expectations placed on women. Recently, a TikTok video went viral calling out women who go out without makeup. The video has sparked a debate on social media, with many women feeling frustrated and exhausted by the constant policing of their bodies.

Sabrina went on to say something bold.

In a viral TikTok video, influencer Sabrina made a bold statement: after a certain age, it’s “unacceptable” to go to a dressed-up event without makeup. “I don’t care how pretty you think you are with the bare face,” she said. “We all think we’re beautiful with a bare face, right? But there’s a time and a place for a bare face. Not everywhere is bare face—susceptible.”

Most of the comments disagreed with her.

Sabrina’s comments have sparked a debate on social media, with some people agreeing with her and others arguing that women should be able to wear whatever they want, with or without makeup.

• “So deny me at the door,” commented one girl.
• “Bare Face is the new beauty,” shared another, suggesting that the trend is toward embracing natural beauty.
• “That’s called confidence!” commented another.
• “No rules. Do what you feel but don’t judge others for what you deem necessary,” wrote another, emphasizing the importance of allowing individuals to make their own choices about how to make up without getting judged.

Others were in agreement with her.

Those who support Sabrina’s stance argue that makeup is a way to show respect for yourself and others. They say that going to a formal event without makeup can make you look disheveled and unprofessional. “Grow up,” Sabrina said. “Learn how to do makeup.”

• One user defended her, stating, “Grown women understand. She’s not referring to everyday situations, but for events like weddings, it is important to do your makeup!”
• Another person gave her a round of applause and said, “Girl, you made a point.”
• Another user chimed in to show agreement, simply stating, “Totally agree.”

Make up or not make up, you are beautiful.

Ultimately, the decision to wear makeup is a personal one for each woman. However, Sabrina’s comments have sparked a discussion about the societal standards imposed on women’s appearance, especially as they age.

While these comments may be thought-provoking, they also reflect a general societal pressure for women to wear makeup, especially in formal settings. This pressure can be harmful because it reinforces the notion that a woman’s value is based solely on her physical appearance.

It’s important to remember that women should not be ashamed of their makeup choices. Whether or not to wear makeup is a personal decision, and there is no right or wrong answer.

Women should feel confident and beautiful in their own skin, whether they choose to wear makeup or not.
