Lovelyish

high five to you, seriously

i think less makeup, or no makeup is refreshing

when i do modeling runways/shows, i have to wear eyeshadow, lipstikc, eyeliner, mascara, some foundation and blush and stuff depending on how drastic they want the makeup.
in my normal day life i either wear nothing or mascara and it’s AWESOME

It takes me about 2 minutes to put make up on. I put it on most days, but it’s good to let your skin breath every now and then.

I don’t wear any makeup. 

btw kate winslet has makeup on there
and kate cruise looks adorbs and doesn’t need any

If done right, a fresh face can be so awesome. I think most people would be fine with evened-out skin tone (so maybe a few dots of concealer) and some mascara to play up the eyes, if she wants. I feel like there are so many pretty girls out there who hide their beauty under a ton of makeup!

I hardly wear make up these days. The only time I do is if I’m going to be out and about and have enough time or feel motivated to do it haha.

I used to wear a lot for artistic purposes and slight self esteem problems when I was younger. I haven’t worn makeup daily in years since my ex convinced me I don’t need it. Plus I lost the patience to do it and I’ve saved money in the long run. Instead of covering up things I didn’t like I started taking better care of my skin and realized my features are not so dull that they have to be enhanced. 

if I didn’t have acne, all I’d ever wear for make-up would be some concealer underneath my eyes.

I only wear lipstick or lipgloss everyday. If I feel like it, eye make up. For special occasions or dates, I’ll do my whole face but not like a mask.

I just use foundation (since I paid a mini fortune for it) and mascara and I’m good to go.

Haha, I am just like you.  Sleep is better than putting on makeup.    I don’t always wear makeup everyday.  But I have taken to wear the BB cream in the morning.  

Oh my gosh, I am the exact same way as far as mascara and dry contacts goes, haha! x)  That’s why I hate wearing eye makeup, because I’m always fiddling with my eyes in some way and if I were to wear eye makeup then it would get all messed up and I’d just look ten times worse than when I did even before I put it on.  It’s for that reason and just because I actually think I look worse and more fake-looking with makeup on that I never wear makeup anymore.  Plus, I just feel so good when I’m not wearing makeup, all light and not weighed down by any powders or gunk.  Eh, I just prefer the natural look, I guess!  The only exception is if I have a zit I need to cover up or something… And even then, I don’t like putting makeup on it because it’s better with acne if you stay makeup free for a few days and of course it quickens the clearing process if you’re not having makeup globbed on it everyday.  So yeah… I pretty much never ever wear makeup anymore and I’m pretty content.  Sure, maybe I’ll put some on for a nice occasion, but most days it feels pretty damn good to have a nice clean face and people can see the real, natural me all the time.  What you see is what you get!

I rarely ever wear makeup.  I wear makeup on the following occasions: 1. I am going out on a date, or out with friends. 2. Special occasion, such as a party or holiday. 3. Job interviews, or when the boss comes to visit (I work in accounting for a custom carpet place–never see clients).  So that translates to maybe once or twice a week on average.  If I am not doing any of those things, then no makeup.  Even though I rarely ever wear makeup, I appreciate knowing how to apply a natural, but pretty face.  Taking care of your skin by eating right, exercising, hydration and sleep works wonders.  Besides, makeup only looks good if the canvas looks good before putting on the paint.

I just wear eye and lip makeup, but only if I feel like wearing it. I didn’t wear any makeup for most of last week. And I never wear any on weekends. And my skin is covered in red marks and shallow acne scarring. I spend all of my time on my hair, since I do a pin curl set at night and that takes some time to work out properly in the AM after sleeping in. I feel sexy both with and without makeup, sometimes more so without it. But even if I am wearing makeup, I always feel better without face makeup. Whenever I see girls with it on, even if it’s well applied, I want to scrub it off. It just does NOT look like skin. I especially hate blush actually, as I feel that most women overdo it. Even when it’s not overdone it just doesn’t look natural, because a natural flush doesn’t stay within a specific boundary on your face. 

Wow olivia wilde is unbelievable gorgeous with or without make up…
Sometimes I wonder what if there was no such thing as
Braces
Veneers or any other cosmetic surgery
Make up
Photoshop
in first world countries……
.

I wear make up when I have something special to go to and someone to do it for me. 99% of the time, it’s just lip balm, and if I am wearing contacts (also a rare occurrence, usually related to physical activity) I have undereye concealer. 

@Victoriamisu@xanga - GIRL samez. It’s gotten to the point where I kind of associate putting on makeup with performing because I’m really used to having makeup onstage and on-camera.

Sometimes, I use this as an excuse to be a diva and just point to winged eyeliner like that’s a good reason for it.

I say way to go! I always wear make up–I can’t leave the house without it. But, that’s because I have deep hereditary circles that I HATE! Otherwise, I wouldn’t wear make up either.

And, wow– SNOOKI IS FREAKIN’ GORGEOUS WITHOUT MAKE UP!!!! Why the hell does she even pile all of that stuff on? Woahhh..she looks COMPLETELY different! Omgsh..I’m just in total shock here lol. I don’t even know what to say.

I wear make-up to work – not a lot, some concealer and some mascara, but on other days, I simply don’t bother with it.

Coffee> makeup all the time.

It seems my eyebrows will never grow back so I have to use powder otherwise I wouldn’t wear make-up.

Nope, I don’t have the time nor the experience! I wish I did know how to use more make-up, but as for now, I just use lotion with SPF. 

I always wear mascara, since I believe it does really help make you look better, regardless of anything else. 

Oh yeah, I wear makeup. Primer, foundation, a very fine line of black eyeliner, mascara, and some brow pencil in the thin spots. Clear lip balm as well.

I think women look better with a little subtle makeup.

I wear a little makeup. I don’t like a ton of eye makeup. Mostly just mascara. But I do love lip products and focus any attention on bad ass lip colors. I don’t like foundation coverages higher than sheer. Mostly I do an extremely natural face look, concealer, mascara, and a lip color. I only ever wear makeup when I’m wearing a nicer outfit, which may be a couple times a week.

I only wear foundation, and even that I don’t always wear (it depends on how clear my skin is. And know I’m not doing further damage by wearing it because it’s acne-clearing foundation). I sometimes might throw on some mascara for a special occasion. It’s partly out of laziness, partly out of not being good at makeup. But also, I figure that if people are going to say I’m attractive, it’s much more of a compliment if its about my actual face.

I wear make-up to work, but not a lot of it. Just mineral foundation with SPF 15  (since I have sensitive skin and rosacea, if I have an outbreak, then I use primer to make sure foundation stays on) and lip (tinted) balm. As for the weekends or when I’m not working, I only wear sunscreen and lip balm. I don’t use eye make up cause I tend to rub my eyes (and that’s WITHOUT CONTACTS) so I stick with glasses. I only use eye make up for special occasions (party, date or job interview) but I don’t like wearing make up so I try to avoid it as much as possible 

personally, when applied right makeup does make people look better. even though those celebrities above are pretty without it, there is no denying they look great WITH it, too.

but that being said, I rarely, if ever, wear makeup lol and when I do its just mascara… xD

@theartofbumbling@xanga - same here.. if my skin was clearer i wouldn’t wear any makeup…

I almost never wear make-up to school or work, solely because I’m extremely lazy. I don’t really do my hair for either, either. I would definitely wear it every day if I had the energy, but my tiredness always wins over my desire to look good.

I always wear mascara because without my eyelashes…don’t look like eyelashes.  Other than that, it depends on my mood.  When I do put on full makeup it doesn’t usually look like I have much of anything on.  I like it better that way.  Just kinda highlights the features I like and covers the ones I don’t. =P

My mom doesn’t leave the house without wearing makeup.  She told me when I was really young not to wear makeup.  I asked her why, and she said it gives you wrinkles early and makes your skin yellow.  I can’t remember how old I was but I was young enough for it to scare the hell out of me.  Now, the only time I wear makeup is special occasions w/my boyfriend, photo shoots, certain business meetings, and going out to certain clubs (I hardly even go out to clubs anyway.)

When I do wear makeup, and it’s not a photo shoot (where I have no control over makeup) I stick to a “5 Minute Face” – light foundation, eyeliner, lip gloss, light eyeshadow, light blush.  Nothing heavy, nothing unnatural.  I can count on one hand the number of times I put on mascara or even fake eyelashes. 

Rarely. Some days I wear eye shadow. That’s really it. I rub my eyes too much for mascura

i hardly wear it at all anymore. due to laziness as well. plus, i don’t care. i’m not attractive either way. 

i’ve cut back to usually just wearing foundation because i still have zits. i didn’t like how dependent i was on it. like, i had to put make-up on just to run to target.

Good for you. I feel ya on wanting to get maximum amount of sleep. Sometimes I just let my hair do it’s own thing because I choose to sleep an extra 10 minutes instead. My make up takes only 1-2 minutes, so I’m able to squeeze that in. 

i don’t wear make up either, except for special occasions or nights out.. 

I don’t wear make up daily.  I’ll really only wear it on special occasions, performances, or when wearing costume.

Is that Snooki?  She’s so pretty without makeup!

Although I respect that some women feel girly and pretty without makeup, I’m the kind of girl that loves putting on makeup.. It’s one of my favorite things to do.. It’s amazing how some makeup can transform your face.. It’s like art in a way..

But yeah when I’m home I don’t wear makeup..

<3.

I resisted wearing makeup my entire life (and I am older than many of you) and only recently started wearing it more regularly. I have always believed that wearing makeup prematurely ages skin, and I have kept my reasonably clear complexion for years by simply not messing very much with my face. As I got further into my twenties I began washing my face every day and applying lotion with SPF. Now in addition to face lotion I wear very simple makeup every other day.

The reason I started wearing makeup is because I read an article that noted that women who wear subtle makeup in the workplace are perceived as more competent. So I decided I would get some good quality foundation, eyeshadow and lip liner and practice putting it on in the morning. Since I am currently working (and looking for work as well), I am hoping this will help me project a more mature and competent appearance during job interviews. Now it remains for me to purchase more decent casual and formal work outfits.

I am still too shy to wear the eyeshadow!

wow! Snookie is actually pretty (without make up)

she should NEVER wear makeup again.

I wear makeup 90% of the time when I am in public. I have acne scars and short brown eye lashes. The funny thing is I get hit on more when I don’t wear makeup.

I only wear eyeliner, but I have to wear eyeliner before I leave the house. I applaud you. Confidence is key, I suppose

…….thank you for writing this article. I have stopped wearing for the exact same reason and frankly don’t give a damn anymore! I don’t think makeup needs to be a requirement for anything. If guys only knew!  & i hate shaving.

I used to wear a lot of makeup..but in the past year I’ve given it up completely. 

If I’m wearing makeup, all I wear is foundation and mascara. If it’s a super special occassion, I’ll put on lip gloss. Whether I wear makeup or not all depends on where I’m planning on going, and what I plan on doing. If I just need to run to the post office and grocery store on a day I’m not working, I’m not going to waste my time with makeup. When I work or “go out” (dinner with the boyfriend, visiting friends, etc.) I always put on foundation and mascara. Don’t get me wrong, I love putting makeup on and feeling really pretty sometimes, but I love the fact that I don’t feel like I have to have it on just to go to the store.

That’s fine that you’re too lazy to put on makeup.  Just understand that making that choice means that you have no ground to stand on if you choose to do a follow up post on having a hard time finding a boyfriend.

Real beauties are real beauties not beauties by makeup! ;p

As a guy, I really prefer a woman who wears either no makeup or very little makeup: maybe some eye makeup, but that’s it. I despise lipstick. It looks fake and tastes disgusting. 

Women are so much more beautiful natural. Once in awhile wearing makeup for something special is fun, but otherwise, please stay natural. More men prefer you this way. It is only the fashion industry that says otherwise. 

I’ve recently fell in love with the art of putting on makeup. So I bought a ton of products and I only ever use them when I want to feel special. I’m addicted to YouTube gurus so my makeup collection is always expanding.

Usually though, my makeup consists of foundation and eyeliner since anything more makes me feel like I’m wearing a mask. I’d never go out with foundation!! It is essential to me. I wish I had clear skin.
