That was the most sad make-up tutorial ever.

i think its a metaphor as to people who mindlessly try to get closer and closer to ever changing ideas of beauty. and when its out of reach, the need to be accepted still pushes us to keep trying but its destroying us. its pitiful :l and sad

I thought it was about the machine grasping for humanity. The first makeover made her look a little more human, then the next makeover brought her a little bit closer, but she is just a machine and no matter how hard she tried, humanity is out of her grasp. This was really beautiful and sad.
