South Korean women are destroying their makeup and cutting their hair in protest against the countryโs stringent and unrealistic beauty standards.
The trend โ known as the โescape the corsetโ movement โ has gained increasing traction on social media as women have obliterated their cosmetics in videos or posted photos of their smashedย makeup.
Makeup has been compared to corsets because both items constrain womenโs appearances into a homogenous form.
