Click here   Truth be told, Sabyasachi’sreading of what being ‘caked’ with make-up meant was hardly surprising if you’ve lived in India, except for the fact that his social media team did not quite anticipate the backlash it received. Because, as stereotypes about make-up continue to thrive somewhat unchecked and unopposed, the chances of being called out, thankfully, are higher in our small social media bubble.Once this hot-takes cycle dies down, Sabyasachi’s Instagram post would have been satisfactorily criticised and then swiftly forgotten. The stereotype he referred to, however, will continue to stop a teenager from buying that bright red lipstick or your colleague to spend hours thinking how much make-up is ‘too much make-up’ for her first day at a new job. These unspoken sanctions — they are no less than sanctions — are held in place by a network of vigilant family, friends, colleagues, callously written movie characters and confused celebrities.
