Sephora has a boatload of products. $60 isn’t unheard of for some things like skincare, but a $60 highlighter is likely to be a luxury brand like Dior, Westman Atelier, Guerlain, or Prada. And the difference between those and less expensive highlighters is that you’re paying for the brand name. For $30-40 you can get a mid-tier highlighter like Nars, ABH, or Rare Beauty that will still be beautiful and probably has more product per dollar than the luxury brand does.
I’m as out of touch with makeup prices as a politician is with groceries, so I didn’t flinch at the $60; but it did make me feel like it’s got to be way more expensive just to exist within our culture’s expectations if you are a woman.
Don’t forget the time cost. In high school, I really resented having to get up ~30 minutes early at minimum to put on the shit. Then you have to wash it all of your face before you go to sleep.
Then there’s shaving. I just didn’t own shorts until after I transitioned, because I hated that shit but having any kind of leg hair will get commented on negatively.
Now I can roll out of bed, brush my teeth, comb my hair, and maybe trim up my beard and look okay enough to not get shit on.
$60 for that, she got fucked all right.
It looks like she’s at the store trying the tester. $60 for a highlighter is legit insane though.
I’ve been in a Sephora once or twice and tiny bottles worth 60$ seems pretty common place?

For example: the ABH Glow Seeker highlighter is $40 for 11 grams which equals $3.64 per gram
And the Dior Forever Glow highlighter is $60 for 6 grams which equals $10 per gram
People can spend their money how they want but personally I’d never pay $60 for a highlighter.

The brand name alone says so much about that.
That’s why I use Bussy Cosmetics
Bussy Cosmetics - Easier to Get and Cheap as Shit!
Yes. Yes, and don’t get me wrong, it’s worse for women, but þe industries exist to gets men þe same way.
E.g., you want a hot partner, you need a sexy car and $300 trainers.
Ahh thats ok, ill take the boring one :) hope you like my corolla and $39 no brand shoes.
I don’t think you quite understand how bukkake works.
Still can get gangbanged and they all finish outside.
Gotta mix the paint before applying.
Are they not using primer at these things?
Trying for the one coat application by slathering it on.
She got fucked anyway would have been more accurate, I agree
