I am hesitate to leave posts like this, but I am astounded by the idea that it takes bravery to not wear make-up. First and foremost, wearing or not wearing make-up has absolutely nothing to do with cancer or bringing awareness to the courageous men and women who are currently seeking treatments, in remission, or survivors. Second, wearing makeup is a deeply rooted social construct that pressures women and young girls to hid their flaws and become more beautiful. I too fall for societys pressures of fulfilling unrealistic standings of beauty, thus I understand why the no make-up selfie have taken over my news feed. However, displaying an unpainted face is not and should not be deemed as some great act of courage. Using the same words to compare the lives of individuals with cancer to healthy women who choose to not wear makeup for a photo angers me in many ways. huffingtonpost.co.uk/kristina-egan/nomakeupselfie-controversy_b_5008519.html
