Idk just wanted to put it out there in case someone do like my personal looks. I find that all the blogs follow the same suit. I'm not talking about the helpful tips, because that's what helped me do what I do. I'm talking about the blogs that sound like a magazine or article telling women what they should and should not do to look appealing to the general public. I just saw a thread on makeup do's and don'ts, and as I respect my fellow mua's and mue's; I find those rules limiting. I feel, that they are saying that people who do these things are not beautiful. I mean c'mon ladies and gents we wear makeup because we want to, for no outside validation. yea a compliment does help but ideally, we do what we do because we want to. I can't tell some girl or boy (possibly preteen/teen/low self esteem) that if they do this, this, and this or they'll look crazy, tacky, and unattractive. I think they have enough to worry about. idk just a rant.

I agree whole heartedly. I have seen soany negative comments, even if they are masked with 'constructive' intentions. I've seen people commenting on posts telling people not to do something, instead of answering the question about what they were wanting to do! For instance: "How do I do____" and comment "No, don't do it!!"; they didn't ask if they should, they WANT to, a person is not likely to change their mind because a stranger said not to. instead people should focus on answering the question and trying to help them achieve what they are looking for instead of trying to make decisions for them.

Exactly, only time I will tell someone not to do something is if theyre trying to achieve a look and doing am irregular technique that will take longer, will be almost impossible to do, or just not safe.

Such rules (like dos and donts) equate to social acceptance in my opinion. Social acceptance appeals to the majority and makes it easy for people to navigate through life. But these rules do not embrace diversity or inclusiveness. They stifle creativity and innovation.
