All makeup is an enhancement or a faux fnish of some sort, and this is no different than eyelashes, or lip plumpers or line fillers. It's weird for me to hear so many people not understanding this, as there never seems to be issues with contouring or line filling or all the other things people do to look more Caucasian, more exotic, younger, tanner, whatever your thing may be...
It all interests me and fascinates me.
