Divorce lawyer James Sexton uses a striking analogy about couples who publicly share blissful marriage photos online while privately filing for divorce: it’s like having white teeth with rotting gums—people only see the white teeth. Similarly, the conversation around makeup shouldn’t be about whether wearing it is deceptive. Instead, it should focus on whether a person’s true essence and beauty hold up without it, much like questioning if a relationship is as loving in reality as it appears online.
Using tools for good means leveraging their potential to reveal and enhance true beauty and authenticity, rather than merely masking internal imperfections.
