That may sound misogynist, but everyone here knows it's the damn truth.

Yep. And if you're too pretty, some women will be mean.

I do too.
As far as it goes for me, I wear a little bit, but it only takes about three minutes: tinted moisturizer, powder, light eyeliner, and always mascara. I don't leave the house without earrings and mascara. It's a thing.

I always prefer what's real to what's fake.

True enough, but the main motivation for women to judge each other based on appearances
is because of competitiveness over men.
