We’ve all heard of the “take her swimming on the first date” thingy because apparently, it’s very important for guys to know what a girl looks like without makeup. The idea that women look different when they wear makeup makes them jittery for some reason.
A company called Magic Unicorn Inc (much wow) came up with an app called ‘Makeapp’ that removes and applies makeup to your pictures. While it seems harmless, it’s causing controversies for all the wrong reasons.
Check out some of the reviews:

The app has polarized opinions online, with the majority of people saying it’s a plot to make men think that all women are ugly. The app is also receiving a lot of hate from makeup lovers around the world. Here is what they have to say:
Hottest takes on makeup removal app makeapp @OrwellNGoode
– “It’s literally violence”
– “We used it on a male, gotcha”
– “Beards are literally makeup”
-“Russians are hacking us again using makeup removal apps” pic.twitter.com/6uBuKSTsa2
“If you look at a woman without make up, it’s literally rape.”
They’re actually pulling the consent-card. They are really mad.#MakeApp #TheHaggening pic.twitter.com/Pmm3NjNno1— Third Position (@Third_Position) November 15, 2017
If you think women are mad about MakeApp, imagine how pissed make up companies are
Their entire industry has just been destroyed by a single app

On the flip side, a few men on the internet opine that women need to stop being so ‘fragile’. They need to know that it’s okay to be seen without makeup and the fact that men have an app to figure out how they look without makeup is no way ‘offensive’ or ‘sexist’. Here’s what they’re saying:
Poor insecure ladies REEEEEing about an app that can remove makeup. If you wear makeup everyday there’s something seriously wrong with you. It’s also why you look 10 years older than you are, shits bad for your skin #MAKEAPP

This is why #MakeApp is triggering slags, feminazis, tumblrinas and the like. Because genuinely beautiful women still look just as pretty after the app has worked its magic. pic.twitter.com/Iqirfjvmdg
