Modern cosmetics shouldn't hurt anyone physically unless they are allergic, but girls (along with older women) can get the idea that they aren't good enough the way they normally look, that they have to change themselves to fit in, or that they need to be physically beautiful to be valuable people.

In general the cosmetics and fashion industry is psychologically damaging to young women and leads to problems like depression, anorexia, bulimia, and premature sexual activity. It encourages vanity and an excessive focus on appearance instead of qualities that really matter.
