Lovelyish

Just this morning I decided to try. My boyfriend likes it better. I figure once I get some sun on my cheeks I’ll be able to go without more often.

meh, i like playing around with my appearance.  i don’t do it to feel more beautiful.  i just enjoy makeup as a hobby.  

besides, beauty is relative.  no matter what you do, someone will ALWAYS think you’re ugly.  

When I’m at home, I wear no make-up at all. Sometimes, if I’m in the mood, I’ll wear a bit of make-up (lip gloss, mascara, concealer, what have you) when I go out in public. Most of the time, I don’t. I’ve found my skin is better that way and I no longer have breakouts like I used to.

I’ll go out with no make-up on sometimes, even when I know I’m going to see people I know. I definitely don’t wear it when I’m going to be going anywhere. Why waist it.

I wish I could go out with no makeup on. I still break out pretty regularly, so I always slap on some foundation and concealer before going out. The makeup isn’t helping my breakouts, I’m sure, but I just can’t bring myself to go out without covering them up…

I usually wear eye makeup too. I do think I look better with a bit shadow and mascara, but the eye makeup is mostly for fun, not out of necessity. 

I didn’t start wearing makeup ’til I was 17 :/ I did go through a phase where I put on wayyy too much makeup (sigh, freshman year), but i definitely lessened down after I started pharmacy school. I took out the plastic circle lenses and started wearing natural looking (breathable) contacts, stopped wearing eyeshadow (unless it was for special occasions), and stopped wearing foundation. Right now, my skin’s in a MUCH better state that i dont even look too different with / without foundation
Makeup is really there to enhance your features, I think one of my best features is my smile and I like the way I look with or without makeup ;P

Ive never touched the stuff.. and i have great skin.. so this isnt an issue for me. 

A bit of eyeliner draws guys’ attention to my most attractive feature and takes me from being plain or kinda cute to the pretty girl with the pretty eyes.

Why would I want to be only kinda cute when I could be more with a bit of eyeliner?

I wore makeup more in highschool than now.. Now I wear it maybe.. Once a week.. I just think it looks horrible on me.. I wish It didnt though.. Maybe I dont know how to put it on properly.. Its not very hard though, I just think it looks bad on me.. Im glad I basically NEVER get pimples or anything though, I just wish I could get rid of my freckles! lol

i would consider myself one of the 44% who doesn’t need make up

i don’t “need” make up but i certainly enjoy it when i have the time to put it on. make up is like any other accessory to me- i don’t need a pair of lovely shoes or a wonderful necklace to feel confident but damn do they help!

Personal choice. I like to wear it. I can fake perfect skin with makeup.

oh I hate wearing makeup. I only wear it for special occasions, job interviews, etc. I have huge eyes and lips, so I feel like makeup only takes away from that, not to mention there are so many chemicals in it; My husband prefers me bare faced. whataguy

It’s kind of a personal thing. Some people don’t feel the need to wear it. Good for them, I don’t care.

My skin sucks but it looks great with concealer. Maybe someday if the post-acne marks fade I’ll go without tinted moisturizer and concealer. That, and when you are commonly mistaken for a kid because you are small and look very young, a bit of eyeliner goes a long way in making yourself feel like you look like a college student, not somebody’s kid sister or daughter.

The question should really be “do you wear makeup April?”  Then I’d be like “sometimes I wear eyeliner when I’m dressing Goth and going to the club.”

So yes I go barefaced every…single…day.  People still give me their phone numbers, guys still hit on me, and I still get attention.  I’m not even the prettiest thing out there…sheesh.

I don’t think anyone needs make-up. I barely ever bother with it.

I LOVE makeup. It’s so much fun putting on make-up. I don’t buy the cheap brands and only wear natural ingredients foundation. People make makeup sound like a bad thing. It’s a confidence booster, makes you look better, and oh did I already say fun? Just limit on how much you put on. 

I’ve never worn makeup and don’t feel the need to. One time my friend was hosting a Mary Kay party and begged me to let her give me a “makeover.” I finally agreed. Afterward she said, well how do you feel?! I said, I feel like need to wash my face:)

Once in a while I think about wearing makeup maybe to dress up or to look a little older – I’m 23, but 4’11 and 94 lbs…. so, it’s often that people think I’m younger. It may help in that regard, but I was brought up to be comfortable who I am and with what I have so I’ve never really done much with makeup. I tried to put on eyeliner a few times, but it doesn’t look good when I do it lol

I enjoy wearing makeup, though usually nothing that doesn’t look “natural”. It helps define my eyes a little better, and helps me look a little older (26 and still getting mistaken for 18-20). 

I almost never wear it, or if I do, it’s just very natural looking. I don’t believe anyone “needs” it, since I don’t notice a difference for a lot of people, though it does make a difference for some people if done right.

why do i wear makeup?
- my skin sucks. even before i started wearing makeup i had skin issues.
- it evens out my face. otherwise i would have red blotches in random spots.
- i look like i’m 16, i’m 21. adding mascara helps..
- i’m self conscious. concealer and bare minerals covers up acne scarring.

i’m forever jealous of anyone who can waltz out of their house without anything on and look great.
if i ever tried that.. well, i wouldn’t..

it all depends on your skin type.

I wear eye makeup and lip makeup when I want. Nothing else, even with my bad skin. I never like the way foundation/face makeup looks on women; I’ve never found girls to look ugly because of their breakouts, scars, or marks. In fact, I find it looks worse covered up because of the texture it creates when covering up scars and breakouts. I really can’t wait until my marks fade and my scars start filling out a bit (they have a bit in the last year or less, but nothing super obvious) because then I’ll feel even more comfortable. Right now the combo of marks and scars and occasional breakouts makes me miss foundation sometimes.

But then I remember that we constantly view ourselves in a harsher manner than do others. We magnify, stare, prod, and clearly we don’t do this with most other people. I remember that one of the guys in my current history class, I didn’t notice he seemed to have skin issues until at least a few weeks in and having seen him regularly. I think it’s about finding a way to accept yourself as you are without modifications, and then deciding upon a course of action. I used to want a boob job for instance. If I’d gone ahead and gotten one (if I had been old enough before I grew to like them) then I’d not be able to go braless with some outfits or wear lower cut items without it looking like I’m flaunting my chest. But even though I feel fine without makeup, other than minor insecurities about how my skin might be looking, I do still enjoy wearing eye and lip makeup when I want to take the time to do so But just to clarify, I do usually find that women look more attractive when they aren’t wearing any foundation or blush etc. Some eye makeup, sure. But a lot of the time girls look pretty without it. Some look horrible with it too. 

I don’t like make-up. The fact that mascara is made from bat shit just freaks me out. I don’t really need it anyway. I look fine without it, plus it hurts my eyes and I have really good skin. Really all I do is bite my lips so that they look red.

I’m 22 and I just decided to start wearing some eye makeup on a semi-regular basis. I think it helps to make me look a bit older, and since I’m going to be a teacher I actually want to look a bit older, especially since I’m so short

I go without makeup almost every day, but not because i’m confident, just very lazy. I think I’d feel okay without most makeup, except for my skin. I just have dark circles under my eyes, and I have thin skin and so you can see my veins, and so I just look healthier with some base & blush.

My skin’s too perfect to wear makeup often lol. I wear it about once a week or once every other week. Depends. I always feel that if I wear it too often, it’ll make my skin bad, cause me to break out, and etc. I do like makeup and the artistry of what you can do with eyeshadow. But rather than “enhancing” my natural assets or exhibiting bold looks…I’d rather just go all out full natural on a daily basis. It gives me extra confidence that guys still approach me, and that my boyfriend still finds me beautiful with my head completely product-less (including my hair, I like to wear that natural too! Shampoo, conditioner, air dry!)

I like to give that “surprise!..I can be even more attractive than what you usually see!” rather than “surprise! I’m actually uglier that what you make me out to be!”

I never wear makeup.  My mom never wore makeup, so I never learned how to put it on.  

I think I need it..  And if I knew how to apply it, I would wear it.

I am extremely pale, and if I’m wearing no makeup or very minimal makeup, people constantly ask me if I’m ill and not feeling well. I know that I look healthier with it on.

That doesn’t mean I think I’m ugly without it; it just means I realize that I look healthier with the bloom of blush on my cheeks and something to brighten my eyes. These things enhance who I am naturally. 

@Pickwick12@xanga - I’ve noticed that it happens to me too.  Whenever I’m not wearing makeup I’m asking if I’m sick -__-

My mom wouldn’t let me even play with fake toy makeup when I was little. The makeup wasn’t real at all just a toy. Which was pointless because she just took away a toy from a little child. I think she didn’t want me to grow up to fast, but even as an adult I don’t care for make up. I don’t like how it clogs your pores and keeps you skin from breathing. My mom doesn’t wear much make up either. What I’ve learned health wise is, you don’t need make up as long as you take your MSM and eat or drink lots of greens and lemons everyday. (Lemons should always be diluted with water) Your skin will thank you very much!!

@kate90b@xanga - It’s 44% women feel they NEED make up rather than “I wear make up, but I don’t NEED it”

Nothing is wrong with wearing make up, as long as your self esteem doesn’t depend on it. That is the issue with such a high percent of women saying they “need” it. 
I go make up free almost everyday. Make up is for special occasions for me. It’s just not worth the hassle.

@Pickwick12@xanga - I’ve found that people only ask that because they are so used to seeing you with make up. There was this girl who when I first met her, was all done up. Then half way through the semester she stopped wearing make up and it was really alarming at first, she was very pale and looked ill. But after seeing her like that every week, by the end of the semester, she didn’t. 

My point is you only look ill or sickly because you are paler than your usual made-up self. If you ever decided to do what my classmate above did, after awhile you’d stop looking so sickly to everyone. This is coming from a pale girl.

@babiipnay7o6@xanga - ha, I think that is the same thing for me. I want people to be like “wow, I didn’t realize she could look so great” when I wear make up. If I wore it everyday, I would never get that reaction. And high-five for product-less hair!

for the longest time i would never leave the house without makeup on, it made me feel so insecure and unattractive. my sister and i decided to take this 60 day challenge and go without any makeup for that whole time, no tiny bits of eyeliner, eyebrow pencil, nothing. it was really hard at first and i did not expect the feelings of insecurity as much as i did but it was eye opening as well to realize how uncomfortable in my own skin i was. by the middle of the second week i was getting compliments on my skin tone because it started improving! lol. im way past the 60 day mark now and while every now and then i’ll throw on a coat of mascara if im going out for dinner, i’ve stopped wearing it. now that im used to seeing my own face as it naturally is, i prefer it, and so does my husband.

Eyeliner only. I really don’t think that hides much of my face, it just makes my eyes look bold. I prefer to wear it, but everyone else says I look nice without it, so its not that big of a deal when I don’t wear it.

@Digital_Angel21@xanga - I would agree with you, except I can’t, because my experience was the opposite  I went from wearing minimal/no makeup for years and having people constantly think I looked ill to gradually wearing more and people thinking I look well. They were very used to me the first way, because it’s what I did for ages.

Thanks for replying.

The funny thing is, I think often people look better without make up.

I’m a natural girl =/ meh. 

I love make-up and all (like I watch all the Youtube make-up people), but I found that it actually never looks good on me.. or maybe I never put it on right to enhance my features.. but make-up and I – we just don’t click. My friend did my make-up for Prom night (since I don’t own any make-up product except for tinted lip balm) and it wasn’t great.. ugh. I looked like.. fake, somehow. So I never bothered to put it on anymore

I rarely wear make up. I don’t feel like it matters if I do or not.

I go makeup free about 80% of the time but I really enjoy playing around with it. 

I dont wear make up really. if i do it might be once or twice a week and i’ll put on some mascara or eyeliner and thats it. My friends have told me that I look exactly the same with and without makeup so whaatevvver. Im sometimes too lazy to anyway

I NEVER wear make up. Unless I’m dressing up funky, in which case I might apply funny eye make up.

Ahhh, this is sad! I didn’t start wearing make up regularly until…yesterday when I started working full time. I feel beautiful without make up..but at 7am I look more awake with it

I never wear makeup, and am proud to say so.  =)

I don’t wear much makeup really. I prefer to just go out with some mascara. 

I have a bad undereye circles, therefore a concealer is a must! (even though I hate wearing it).

I have some face blemishes and I do not wear make up. Nor do I care to. It can make a good size dent in the pocket book and I feel much better with out having to worry if it smeared or if the one mark I don’t like is showing later in the day.  Despite this I am smexy and desired by those attracted to females.

if my skin is clear, i hate makeup. if my skin is broken out, i love it.

Everyone needs makeup, because everyone can look better. Makeup enhances your appearance, even just by a little bit. If you want to be complacent and plain looking, and support “good enough”, then you can go makeup-free. But why not be a knock-out when you can? 

I only wear eye make-up, and I’m not comfortable going out without it. Hereditary bags under my eyes make me look exhausted without a little under eye cream. I’ve never worn concealer though, even with acne. Wouldn’t want to cover my awesome freckles.
