My 1.99 penny doom prediction: this is actually good, and will help destroy beauty standards in general. Beauty will not matter when it is easily achievable/buyable. People will look at any sort of body modding technics with disgust. Similar to how Instagram effects (like color overlay, bloom, burn-in) were first seen as nice but quickly everything had it, it took 2 taps, and looking back now it's incredibly tacky.

Or people will get used to seeing make-up so much, that having it would be even more essential in IRL interactions

Given that we have a psychological vulnerability to supernormalization, I fear that it will cause even the most naturally beautiful people in our society to feel ugly and unlovable for even their smallest imperfections and alter our beauty standards to the point where supermodels in real life are considered merely the "girl next door".

Of course, we could have a global awakening and see through the lies the industry is pushing on us and reject this trend entirely, but I fear the former is more likely than the latter.
