Lemme show you! But first, let me tell you.
The girl in pic number one, goes out like this allllll the time. NEVER gets hit on, double takes, NOTHING!
Girl number two however gets hit on, checked out, free drinks, and some awesome confidence from it...
(EDIT: Since this is turning into a "caking vs. not caking" debate, in pic number two I have on eye liner, mascara, eye shadow, and powder. That's it.)
Ladies, post your pre and post make-up pics!
This is me, this morning, after my walk...
And this is me 15 minutes later

I think it's a confidence thing. I think girl #1 and girl #2 both look great and makeup is overrated (even though you don't go overboard in pic #2)0

no make-up
full make-up
don't f*ng talk to me make-up
yes, my mouth does hang open in all my pictures0 -
Bc if I don't people tell me I look tired and or sick. Plus, I love makeup and putting it on, like a canvas!! It's just my preference.0

I'd bang both girls.0

I'm legit going through all my pics to even see if I have one without makeup. I literally do not have 1 single photo of myself where I don't at least have on a little eyeliner or mascara! I think I just look better with at least something on, I don't wear a ton of makeup aside from the occasional red lipstick, I just think it enhances the way I look, rather than change it altogether.0

Because society tells them this is what beaty is. I agree with the confidence statement from Jac. Whats wrong with being natural?0
-
I'll summon up some confidence and try post mine tonight!
I always go out with some on! I'm a natural blonde so unfortunalty are my eyelashes and eyebrows - without makeup I think I look really surprised!!! :laugh:
For a test last week I went to work without any on and it was the first thing anyone said to me!! It's not like I wear a lot of make-up!0 -

Same here...0 -
Its way too much effort to put make up on every day. I value sleep more
And anyways, that way when I do wear it, I look different without very much effort. Win-win :bigsmile:0 -

Nope. You still look great in Pic #1.0 -

I didn't think you looked sick and tired. Quite fresh faced really! You're really pretty without make-up. I actually preferred your first pic
I don't usually wear make up. The one thing though that gives me a huge confidence boost is having perfect eyebrows and tinted lashes LOL0 -
Alright, photo #1 is the closest to no makeup I've got. A little eye-makeup, but I'd been at the beach all day so it's very minimal, photo #2 is my every day makeup look, and photo #3 is like all done up with smokey eyes and red lipstick (nevermind the red contacts, it was Halloween).

Why don't men wear makeup? In the animal kingdom, it is the male who has the brightest plumage. And there have been times in history where men wore face powder, fake beautymarks and wigs (and heels). So how come they don't anymore?
If makeup makes women feel more confident/accentuates their features -- why can't men do the same?0 -
To compete with other women. It's fun to hear your sweetie compliment another woman on her hair and then on the way home say;" did you see her hair!?" I used to think she got gussied up for me....nay!0

No Makeup = No “Attentionâ€
Makeup= “Attentionâ€
I suppose I don't have natural beauty.0 -
Because I'm ugly AF without make up....=(
And it does me wonders...it really does.0 -
That's odd... I hardly ever wear makeup...
Makes me feel like I have cake on my face... no matter how light the powder.
The only time I wear it is to cover a blemish...or if I am really "going out"!!
To each her own....
I prefer o'natural...0 -
I hate wearing makeup. In fact I am at work with no makeup on right now. I only do a full face when I go out and that is hardly ever0
