When Beauty Hurts....
Maisie Beech, 19, thought she was doing something empowering when she posted a selfie of her face half done up with dramatic make-up, while keeping the other half make-up free
A British teenager who posted half make-up selfies to show the 'power of make-up' was shocked when she was bombarded by trolls who said she looked like she had cancer.
Maisie Beech, 19, thought she was doing something empowering when she posted a selfie of her face half done up with dramatic make-up, while keeping the other half make-up free.
But soon after posting, the photo quickly spread around the internet and reactions quickly turned mostly negative, much to the brave teen's disappointment.
The A-level student from Flemingston, Wales decided to take the picture with the aim of showing her love for wearing make-up, which she says she does only for herself and no one else.
The image was also meant to show her acceptable for her make-up free face as she doesn't rely on make up and will go bare-faced too.
Attack: Reactions quickly turned mostly negative, much to the 19-year-old's disappointment
Much to the teen's dismay, after she posted the images online people commented calling her ugly, scary and disgusting.
After seeing her make-up free side, some commenters even went as far to suggest she had cancer.
Maisie said: "Personally, I love putting makeup on, it's what I do for fun.
"I wanted to show that I like make-up and I wear it for myself, but I'll also happily get on the train brow-less if I want to.
"It's sad that this is how society is now.
"Make-up can and is a part of fashion and girls like to experiment and be creative, we don't wear make-up to hide our faces or deceive people.
"We don't wear make-up for other people, it's something we do for ourselves.
"Women shouldn't be criticised or called fake or unnatural for wearing make-up in the same way they shouldn't be called ugly if they're not wearing any."
