00:00Cosmetics sell exactly because we do not have eyes that can look at reality.

00:11we actually find that person more attractive.

00:14If people were such that they started loathing made up people,

00:19cosmetic people would cosmetics still sell?

00:22Not looking ugly is one thing.

00:25Not letting the body interfere in your creative tasks is one thing.

00:31If I do not take care of the body, it will start interfering.

00:35And putting on makeup so that you can attract people,

00:40so that you can enhance your value in their eyes is a totally different thing.
