Comedian and rapper Lilly Singh aka Superwoman is a YouTube vlogger whose videos tend to be funny and high-energy. But she recently uploaded a simple video about a complex topic: Makeup.
Singh starts by explaining that during the course of a busy day she felt the need to text some friends before seeing them to apologize for “looking like a mess” because she wasn’t wearing make-up. Later, however, she realized she was essentially apologizing for looking like herself—an instinct that a lot of women have likely felt before.
This video is part of an ongoing conversation about makeup that’s been unfolding on YouTube over the past few months. As Singh reminds her young fans, “You don’t need to wear makeup. You can and there’s nothing wrong with it, it’s awesome. But if you don’t, you’re still awesome.”
