Psycho, I admit it: I get a strange feeling of joy when watching movies where make-up is melted, smeared or destroyed. And I, a long time may not be the only one. On Youtube, The Makeup Breakup’playlist more than 1.8 million views. Emily Dougherty, a Instagramster that lipsticks break, has a whopping 91.7 K followers.
Whether you rather love lipsticks that damnation in be squashed or eye shadow from a great height, broken, thrown is: for each, there is undoubtedly something for you in the wide world of the make-upvernietigers. But why are many of us so intensely happy of a high-end lipstick that is destroyed? Metro UK asked the reason for this to psychologist Marc Hekster.
“It can be hugely satisfying to see anything destroyed, without the consequences of it should think,” said Hekster. “It is the same feeling that overcomes you when you feels the urge to take in a puppy to squeeze, or to something with a gel texture to wobble. Sometimes we get the urge to break something, just to see what happens. By videos in which another that does, we go with that urge, in a way that we, ourselves, afterwards the dirt does not need cleaning.”
in Addition, we live in a world where minimalism is becoming more central, waste is a dirty word, and all that we possess joy should call (thanks, Marie Kondo!). It feels like rebels and error to look for something that is destroyed is, without a good reason for it. Nevertheless, it is our basic desire for chaos and destruction which drives us to so intensely of this type of movies to enjoy. It is the embrace of chaos, but with a touch of glitter and gloss.
