True Beauty

1.5 stars. This was pretty fun to read in the beginning, but then the story kept going downhill and started to become extremely shallow and flat. Now, the same plot points are going on and on in circles for the sake of milking as much out of this thin plot for as long as possible, and the main character's characterization took a complete downwards spiral.

I'm feeling cautiously optimistic for this one. I can appreciate the attention to detail for a skill that I know nothing about (makeup use). The art is wonderful and the characters very appealing. I get icky feelings about everyone trying to change their outsides to be accepted in society, when I'd rather be reading stories about dismantling the beauty standards our society has. But I'm willing to bet that the plot might eventually take that direction... Who knows? I'll keep reading for now.
