Look, I get it. I'm not against makeup. I know many women that never wear any makeup whatsoever, including my mom. My mom has never had any interest in any of that stuff and somehow I grew up to love makeup, jewelry and pretty clothes. I don't think makeup is an important feminist battle because it's mostly harmless. It's not artsy for me, I just wear it to makes myself look better and not hate how I look in photos. I'm well aware that makeup highlights secondary sex characteristics in the face (aside from hiding imperfections).

High heels are different. They're just really bad for you and cause real harm to women. I hate that they're mainstream at all. The long term pain is just not worth it.
