The "no" part is that it is generally possible to have excellent hygiene and makeup without paying for the crazy expensive brands and things. There are of course still quite a few products (like the DUDE wipes) that leverage the perspectives of fools to pocket some extra money. Although there are often plenty of cheaper options with similar quality, if not better.
It shouldn't require extra effort to find the quality that doesn't include such things as the "pink tax", but such is capitalism: If the price can rise, the price will rise. Probably in step with some advertising campaign to try and convince you this product is toootally worth the markup, promise!
