Douyin makeup

Share definition Flag
A stupid name made up by Westerners to describe a diverse range of makeup styles originating from China. "Douyin" is the original Chinese version of TikTok but the majority of makeup trends in China do not originate from Douyin at all. Chinese makeup is also often misattributed to having origins in Japan or South Korea despite being distinctive from them. It is common practise for people in the West to tag images and videos of Chinese women on social media with hashtags like "japancore" or "kbeauty". A notable case involved the "manhua lash" trend in China being rebranded as "manga lashes" when they became popularized in the West. One of the most popular Chinese makeup styles is "chunyu", which is an entire aesthetic in itself.
Person 1: Oh my gosh, I love Douyin makeup.
Person 2: You can just call it "Chinese makeup". Refusing to do so is quite Sinophobic.

A way of saying "Chinese makeup" for people who are too racist to simply just say "Chinese makeup". The phrase "Douyin makeup" is mostly used in Southeast Asia, Latin America, and the West but never within China itself. When they aren't calling it "Douyin makeup"; they might call it "Korean makeup", "Japanese makeup", "East Asian makeup", or "Xiaohongshu makeup" since Sinophobia makes people want to use any adjective other than “Chinese” for something they find aesthetic. They think "Chinese" is a dirty word.
Non-Chinese people constantly steal content from Chinese social media to put it onto Western websites such as Pinterest, TikTok, and YouTube (such as Dear Peachie). They rebrand Chinese things as Korean, Japanese, or broadly "East Asian". These non-Chinese people then proceed to be racist towards Chinese people and even perpetuate the idea that Chinese people are ugly while contradictorily relying on Chinese beauty gurus for advice on how to look good. There is no cognitive dissonance for them though because they will just mentally relabel all those attractive Chinese people as "Korean" in their racist little minds.
Person 1: I love Korean and Douyin makeup.
Person 2: Why do you call the Korean makeup "Korean", but the Chinese makeup gets called "Douyin"? People will call Korean makeup, "Korean makeup" and people Japanese makeup, "Japanese makeup". But they always call Chinese makeup, "Douyin makeup" because they want to obscure its Chinese origins.

Striver 

Share definition Flag
The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
