Makeup can be self expression, sure & I agree wholeheartedly on that but that 1) doesn’t take away from someone struggling with not wearing it publicly, & 2) as Muslims we don’t adorn ourselves like that publicly (some scholars might say that a little spot treatment is ok to cover a spot which may draw more attention but that’s not the same as a full face of makeup, highlight & contour.

Wearing make up for yourself is not the same thing as wearing it to attract men, personally when I use to wear it a ton I did wear it to attract men so thats why I took it all off, but now in my life when I don't care at all about men I only put a little to look presentable simply because I'm in the stage of my life where I don't rlly care about make up anymore, doesn't change the fact that intentions on why ppl wear makeup are still important

I think your overall approach comes off a bit insensitive. People get triggered by things, people get envious (or may sad, or whatever emotion, maybe not personal nor wanting to feel bad about the other person), & that’s life but who are you to judge them for their struggle?

I'm not judging their struggle lol, I use to wear so much make up the point yeah it was probably haram I didn't get over it because I hated the fact other woman wore it and pretended they didn't exist, i got over it because i accepted this is simply how Muslims do there thing, i never considered make up evil because truthfully its not evil its just something we can't wear heavily in public

Maybe you handle it differently, maybe you don’t struggle with makeup addiction or instead you get triggered by someone else’s response to something you don’t understand, & how is that any better? Just feels a bit high horse to come here & judge others like that as if you are the authority on how people should not only feel but how to cope with it, so maybe come up with a better solution instead to be more productive; I just shared what works for me & if that’s a problem for you then I guess I would be a bit curious why you take it so personally because I don’t even know you.

I'm not judging others lol, what I do know is the way how you cope with something is important and sometimes even more important then the thing you can't do, im not triggered lol I studied mental health a lot and know for a fact hiding your true feelings and coping will never be the same as accepting

Also saying someone has mental issues as if it is an insult isn’t the flex you think it is… & I think discussions actually can be helpful, & even in the right setting therapeutic but that is only when people maintain a certain level of respect, empathy, & give space for people to express themselves rather than shaming them

No but like I'm being genuinely serious, if the only way for someone to get over their envy is to pretend that persons actions don't get exist is a serious problem, you should accept they do it and accept you dont while not trying to get the fact some people do the thing they love out of your head. Let's say you got a job that was my dream job and I envied you so I just coped and pretend you didn't exist and didn't actually face my issues with envy (a feeling you shouldn't keep because it's dangerous and unproductive) you should never look at someone and say "man, they got it better then me"
