Weirdly, the site that supposedly inspired them is about ending negative self-"fat talk." From my quick perusal, I don't see anything about makeup.
Simon: I swear when it's appropriate. Kaylee: Simon, the whole point of swearing is that it ain't appropriate.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I in no way think it's a horrid ideal to have, but I do find myself gently amused by it. All the slim, pretty sixteen year olds with highlights.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have several friends who wouldn't leave the house without a full face of makeup until well into their 20s.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Yay! How long have they been down there?

Definitely better than a statue of an egotistical loudmouth. Hull was mega-talented, but inherited not one iota of his father's class.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
We skated in the UWSP homecoming parade this morning. Mid-State Sisters of Skate!
AWESOME

Also AWESOME
I got my hair cut then and then ated too much sushi at lunch with Juliana, and then wandered around a bit, which was also awesome.
Not as awesome, I checked my work email and found an email from one of our associates asking that I call her right away for rush help. I called, and got her voice mail, so I told her she really should email her request to me and the SF librarians, and one of us would help her as soon as we could.
Less than 5 minutes later, she calls me back, and tells me she doesn't need help, so I tell her again that if she does, she need to email all of the librarians. I also email her saying the same thing, and tell her it's especially important these days because I will be sporadically out on medical leave.
5 minutes later she called me back, because she thought of more help she needed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Alien in what way?
The idea that you'd organise a makeup free day for any motivational end. It's just makeup. And you're a teenager. If you can't not wear it now, when can you not wear it?
That having been said, I can go months without wearing any, or shaving anything other than my head, so obviously not that femme.
The Jezebel article that linked to it said that it was awkward to start out with, and people questioned them on it. Seriously? It's just makeup.
But I realise there's no way my mother would have let me wear that much that regularly that young.

@@, Perkins. At the associate, of course.

That is awesome!
OMG, I am so full. Full of vegetables, so that's good. Kind of a warm salad of potatoes, beets, and green beans, with some feta. Roasting is still better.
