“…Comments on @afierhm's Post. (Rohim, 2020a) Even with Harviali's posts, the celebratory remarks of her followers also show that there is no potential possibility of punishments of subverting the gender norm; comments such as "amazinggg sisss � � � � � � � �," " � � � � � � � �," and "Gokil keren bgt � � � � � � � �" (which roughly translates to really cool) (Harviali, 2020b), demonstrate complimentary remarks made by her followers that support her work and artistic expression. (Harviali, 2020b) With comments such as these, it is evident that through social media posts like that of Edward's, Rohim's, and Harviali's can individuals understand who they are, potentially leading to a society in which values and appreciates such genderless and expressive understandings, of which is shown through the cessation of punishments inscribed upon bodies of individuals due to their subversive actions.…”

Since the fifteenth century, makeup has been gendered and has been ongoingly advertised as such through the ubiquity of modern media. However, with the emergence of newer notions of makeup as expressed by Instagram makeup content creators, the notion of makeup as an art has permeated the media, influencing individuals who follow and/or are exposed to such notions. Furthermore, it is also unreasonable to claim that makeup is gendered, since the notion of gender itself has never been clearly defined. Therefore, makeup instead should be regarded as a genderless form of artistic self-expression. By exploring the history of makeup, conducting phenomenological research on Instagram makeup content creators, and utilizing Butler’s (1988) notion of gender performativity, Negrin’s (2008) writing on gender border crossings, and Kim’s (2013) discussion of everyday reflexivity through the media, I shall discuss why makeup should be regarded as a genderless form of artistic expression. Not only that, but I will also explore ethical consumerist makeup brands, as displayed on the Instagram makeup content creators’ posts, and the notion of “cruelty-free,” and how these notions are related to the post-modernly perceived genderless aspect of makeup.
