"Like anything else, the use of makeup becomes problematic the more extreme it gets. Extreme exercise can do the body more harm than good, extreme concern about calories can become obsessional thinking, extreme devotion in a relationship can feel smothering to one’s partner, and extreme thriftiness may blossom into hoarding behavior. With makeup, the extremes often involve its use in order to create a ‘false self’ - women who fear that they won’t be accepted for themselves become dependent on makeup in order to camouflage their feelings of insecurity."
