Make-up can absolutely be artistic, but the difference between make-up and say, painting, is that artists aren’t expected to all paint the same standardised picture before leaving the house every day just to be treated with respect.
My point is, I can’t accept the blanket statement that makeup isn’t a form of art when stuff like this exists:
But at the same time, accepting make-up as an art form should not mean treating it as above criticism. The culture surrounding make-up is still toxic, and no amount of intricate and creative uses for cosmetics can justify the horrendous expectations society places on women (and ever younger girls) to spend hours of their lives making their faces look more ‘attractive’.
The fact that some people of various genders enjoy experimenting with make-up should not discourage us from working to destroy the pressure for women to cosmetically ‘correct’ their natural faces.

An AU where the reveal happens only after Marinette keeps accidentally hitting Adrien in the head with small objects.
A spool of thread. Her purse. A macaron.
It slows him down at first…and then he keeps hearing not-so-subtle digs from Alya about his obliviousness possibly being related to getting knocked in the head so many times (in between her elbowing Marinette and telling her there are far easier ways to snag his attention.)
Eventually, one of those objects lands just right…and Marinette’s inevitable, rueful – and all-too-familiar – apology finally causes inspiration to strike.

Person A: “Will you stop me?”
Person B: “Not like I have a choice, do I?”
Person A: “You could, if you changed sides.
Person B: "Changing sides means changing everything I stand for and worked so hard for. You know how hard I struggled! We grew up together! Now…look at us.”
Person A: “The rejects of society, huh? Who would’ve thought? Us? On opposing sides?”
Person B: “It doesn’t have to end this way. It’s your decision. You can end this and then we-”
Person A: “And then we what?! Go back to the way things were? You’re naive if you think that’ll really happen! That’s one difference between heroes and villains.”
Person B: “What?”
Person A: “The naive belief that things will return to the way they were.”
Person B: “What if it’s not naive? What if it can be done?”
Person A, smiling brokenly: “Then it’s already too late for me.”
