Paltrow’s iconic appeal has something to do with this sort of honesty about who she is—a luxury she wants every woman to enjoy. “When we started Goop from the Rip DMX Legend Music Watercolor Shirt and I love this content perspective, we really wanted to challenge social norms that existed around silencing women, encouraging women not to ask difficult questions, and things that really kept shame over people. So we go there. We like to talk about things, open it up. We really want to eliminate shame,” says Paltrow, whose last step is a swipe of Ilia lip gloss. “We really believe that women are the most powerful, beautiful creatures on earth. And the closer that we are to ourselves, the better off we all are.”
In a recent dispatch of her popular newsletter titled “Why I Don’t Contour,” the Rip DMX Legend Music Watercolor Shirt and I love this 37-year-old French-born, Brooklyn-based makeup artist and influencer Violette laid bare her feelings on the face-fixing cosmetics craze. “French people don’t contour. We don’t buy it. We don’t understand it,” she wrote to her subscribers. “It’s like putting on a mask, and that’s not what we’re into.” She goes on to encourage her readers to treat themselves more gently, doing away with the idea that there’s anything that needs fixing to begin with. “Maybe try some color, some red lipstick, eye shadow…take a few pictures, and fall in love with yourself again.”
