It can be very messed up and isn't easy to understand if you haven't been there. I know a lot of people, myself included, who've fought issues like these their whole lives.
All I meant to say by my post is that, while many women out there use makeup just to enhance their appearance occasionally, there are others who use it to cover up for deeper self-image issues. You obviously don't have that issue, but that doesn't make it something that doesn't happen. In a case where there are lots of issues, saying something like, "I don't like kissing a girl with makeup on,"or, "You don't need all that on," isn't necessarily going to get a response of, "You're right, let's leave now." It can be like telling someone who's anorexic that they need to eat, although going without mascara never exactly put anyone's life in danger.
If you think it's disturbing, imagine what it's like living your life thinking like that. It's a lot harder on the people who live through it than those who can just dismiss it as, "disturbing." I've seen it a lot and wanted to give another perspective, that's all. I didn't mean that happens 100% of the time or even that frequently, just that if you're going to comment on someone's appearance, you might want to think carefully about what you're going to say because there might be deeper problems involved.

No, you're wrong. I may be content with my body image NOW. But I haven't always. Growing up, while didn't have any problems with weight, I had many other problems with body image. And, my problems with body image were a direct result of deeper problems. What's worse it started at a very early age, around 7. I had zero self esteem.
I've been there and done that. So, I do kind of agree with you. True, it's not all about make-up it's about deeper issues. THATS why I find this disturbing. That so many women feel insecure, not about the desire of wearing make up in itself.
