How about you stop worrying about first world problems and issues such as makeup not having the right color for your skin tone? How about we worry about more important things like human trafficking, children being abused, racism on both ends of the spectrums, the many people and children forced to work under harmful conditions in third world countries?

I think we have the capacity to worry about both though? Don’t tell people that they’re not allowed to worry about their problems because some people elsewhere have bigger problems, we are allowed to have our own problems and fix them without having to wait for all of the other problems in the world being fixed first. We don’t follow a list with a certain order, AND we are perfectly capable of worrying and caring about more than one thing at a time.
Also, makeup not matching certain skin tones is not just a superficial problem if you look deeper into it. A lot of times it’s actually about racism, one of the things listed as “more important” above.

There’s always a bigger problem someone can use as a stick to beat you
