I don't get hit on either way, but here ya go:

Before makeup:


After makeup:


I wear makeup because I feel more comfortable and confident in it, although most days it's just some mascara.

Maybe it's just me, because if I wear makeup it's powder to conceal a blemish, but I think you look younger in pic 1.

. Less is more.

I only wear make-up base on my mood but I prefer au natural. Either way, I feel and look confident (don't really care if I get hit on or not and I certainly don't really care what other people think).

I CBA to read everything, but I almost aways wear mascara, but never any other makeup. It doesn't suit me. Sometimes I get hit on, mostly not. I generally get chatted up by people I already know. Rarely by random strangers.

I loathe makeup, even though I think it looks very pretty on other women. I'm always barefaced except for, like, weddings and stuff. Sometimes I'll put on eyebrow pencil and smear on some faint eye shadow, but that's about it.

Part of it is that I do get more attention when I'm wearing makeup (as is usual for most, I'd think), and I don't like that at all.

Because I like it.

And also because I know that if I don't wear it, I will inevitably run into my ex-boyfriend at the supermarket.

I hate wearing makeup and view it as a chore. It has to be a special occasion for me to put anything on. With that being said, I do wear eyeliner on my bottom lids every other day just to have some color. That's it. On the days where I wear more than that, it is only eyeliner, eye shadow, and mascara. Never anything else. I just don't see the point in wearing more than that or wasting tons of money on it.

I don't wear makeup. Full stop. However I have a skin disease (vitiligo) that means I have large patches of my body where my skin has lost its pigmentation.

Only place it is showing on my face right now is at the corner of one of my eyes. However the patches usually spread and I don't know yet how I will react when I do get visible markings on my face. Will I start having to wear makeup? Will I be vain enough to want plastic surgery (which thankfully I can't afford)? I'm not sure yet.

I only wear eye linger and the occasional lip gloss. I only wear foundation when I'm going out to special events (weddings, formal dances, banquets, etc.). But that little bit of lip gloss goes a long way for me. It makes me feel less naked

I never wear makeup, and my husband thinks I look beautiful just as I am. I never had to dress up or make myself look a certain way to please him.

Even in highschool I never used anything but chapstick or lipgloss (because i'm a sucker for things that smell and/or taste like berries)

Not sure which is better really but I wear makeup because I believe it is an expectation at work and so on.. I also have different hair in those pics

I know women wear makeup for a thousand different reasons. Personally, I use it to accentuate specific features, draw attention away from others (like if my skin isn't all fresh baby butt), things like that. But as for everyday wear, I usually just use powder to even out my skin and then just do my eyes, which can range from only mascara to a full smokey eye. Just depends on the day and mood. I think I look fine without makeup, but I think makeup makes my eyes pop more, which is nice in the winter when my skin is almost the same color as the whites of my eyes.

Without makeup, after swimming:



With makeup, and possibly a little alcohol :P :
