So the Child Welfare Committee wants 'lipstick-free campuses' because of health risks. But isn't that just a band-aid? The real issue is the totally unregulated makeup market that's allowed to pump out cheap toxic products. Banning it at school doesn't fix the root problem.
I recently witnessed a reallife version of the engagement scene from Premam where the groom insults the bride on their engagement day for her makeup. Only this time the guy wasnt high he’s just a colorist who looks down on his dark skinned fiancée because he is fair.
Despite being a love marriage he is completely using her. She is an optometrist working abroad while he is unemployed and using her as a ticket to migrate. His family is equally awful even saying after the ceremony that "avane paisakku vangi" " sthreedanathinte koode oru karutha sadanavum varum". He brings absolutely nothing to the table except his skin tone. Its heartbreaking. If the bride ever sees this I hope she listens to any doubts she has breaks off the engagement and finds someone who truly values her.
