Last night's episode of "Inside Amy Schumer" featured an amazing, hilarious sketch called "Girl You Don't Need Makeup," a boy band parody reminiscent of One Direction's "You Don't Know You're Beautiful."
In it, a boy band starts out telling Amy that she doesn't need makeup because she's naturally beautiful.
They tell her to reject the unrealistic societal beauty standards perpetuated by magazines and go natural.
The anthem is ♪ Just wipe it off, wipe it off ♪
However, once they see a makeup-free Amy, they quickly change their tune (literally).
Wipe it off becomes ♪ Just put it on, put it on. ♪
Accompanied by some metaphors, all of which get at the hypocritical "Natural's ok...as long as you still look perfectly made up."
Before the episode aired, Amy encouraged peeps to share their #girlyoudontneedmakeup photos.
In 30 mins #InsideAmy airs. Post your #girlyoudontneedmakeup photos (no makeup and tag me and #InsideAmy and I'll RT!
And lots of people did.
