Love this post! And some of us are Mary Kay consultants, so we would never leave the house without AT LEAST our mascara.
The way I figure it, I can't ask customers to buy the product I provide if I look a hot mess! :bigsmile: 0 -
*shakes head* Women...
:huh: ....men....
lol.jk, mostly...haha! :laugh:
my man is so nothing like those type guys. (meaning the double standard complaining all talk mouthing off trying to seem manly arrogant sarcastic jerkoffs who judge ALL WOMEN by the ones they knew.) I should clone him to share him with other gals so they don't have to pick through so many guys like that to find a good one. :drinker:0 -
I always wear eye makeup... I think of it as a mini-art project every day. I love blending colors, the way it looks, and it's my 5 mins of relaxation time while getting ready in the morning. I also feel more confident when I have my eyes done; I feel like I look sickly or dead without it. Also, I'm very blonde so if I don't at least put masacra on it looks like I have no eyelashes!!0

I was ready to 'fight' thinking this was going to be one of those makeup bashing threads. I am a makeup artist, and while most days I go with none at all there are days when I glam it up. It all boils down to this: No one need ever explain why they wear what they wear. Everyone has the right to do what makes them feel pretty and what makes them happy (as long as they are not hurting themselves or anyone else). I don't know how some people feel they have the right to be so nasty to another human being.0

I will wear foundation to cover up acne or my acne scars (when I'm pale)
Since I'm tan most of the time, I wear no make up at all 90% of the time. I love skipping that makeup step in the mornings for work.
So when I do go all out...My husband is like WOW

For me, I have had terrible cystic acne and my face is completely covered in tiny dents and scars. I also have a bit of redness that has always been there. I can't wear make-up to enhance, I HAVE to wear it to cover/even out.
Not all of us have the benefit of perfect, flawless skin to wear proudly with minimal make-up.0 -
i do not wear make up alot i do sometimes but not often it makes my face feel gross. i have a friend who always wears makeup and ive seen her a couple of times without any at all and she goregous but her self esteem gets to her and she thinks she has to wear it. even in highschool it was rare that i wore makeup when i did everyone was like who you lookin special for NO ONE i just felt like wearing it. but the days i do wear makeup its to cover my acne that randomly pops up after weeks of nothing and they are big red hard things like cysts ugh!0

Makeup is thee to enhanced your features, not destroying them....
I actually saw once a 10 years old girl with her mamma wearing as much as this.... cant believe the mother let her go out like this.. and no, the mamma was well done, not clownish....
Personnally, I like it light during the day, and a lil heavier in a evening party...0 -
I'm a big believer in happy mediums. I personally don't wear a lot of makeup, but don't begrudge those that do. We all should feel free to do what makes us happy.
The only thing I am not a fan of is when girls cannot go a day without makeup, or they wear so much they look like a different person without it. Everyone should feel confident in what they've got! But if you enjoy lots of makeup, it's a whatever floats your boat type of thing to me. Just keep your cosmetic relationship healthy. Use makeup (or don't) because it makes you happy and feel more beautiful. NOT because you feel you have to use it to be beautiful.
I'm also a big believer in day makeup vs. night makeup. Keep it a little more simple during the day, then if you like that sexy look turn it up before heading out with your friends for a night out.
As far as a man's opinion goes. I use to spend a lot of time trying to figure out what guys like. But it was a pointless feat. I do what makes me happy and feel sexy, and my boyfriend says he loves it. Some studies have shown that most men like to say they prefer the natural look on women, but when given 2 different photos of the same girl side by side and asked which look is most attractive.... they pick the look with more makeup. And they say women are confusing.....0 -
Riddle Me This, Fellas:
If "most men do not prefer women who wear a lot of makeup" then why are all the generally accepted as drop-dead sexy ladies in the movies, magazines, strip clubs, and sex industry all completely made up in a full face of makeup?
And why do the men spend so much time and money on their interest in these ladies?
And why are these industries and women so successful?
Mm-hmm.
I trust I have made my point.
Carry on.

They say crap like that to earn themselves points, or whatever. If every woman turned into a Tweety Bird pajamas in public wearer with unibrows, black roots and zombie faces, there wouldn't be many men alive going "Wow, now these women are sexy"... Give me a freaking break. It's (((((OKAY))))).0 -

I like the "happy mediums" part. I try to stay in the grey area, zero zone, sea level, medium ...you get it. There can always be too much or too little, bad and good, however you wish to slice it. The is always the "goldie locks zone" (just right) for almost any scenerio. Best to keep there.
but, if some gals want a lot (drags for example or vegas show girls, whatever) then go them, if fresh naked faced gals like feeling the wind kiss their cheeks, go them. Its your life. Do it your way. You don't get another shot.0 -
I do like makeup. I wear it for family pictures and family parties and gatherings. So not very often.
I love to see people wear it. Some of them put it on perfectly. Although I knew people that wear it every day
for as long as I can remember and they just seem to look older with out it and the make up isn't hiding it
as well anymore.0 -
1. This is a dumb thread but im taking the bait.
2. You put makeup on to look better...say all you want that its "not to appeal to other people's beauty standards"...you care about what other people think or you wouldnt wear it.
3. makeup that is caked on looks terrible, not to mention that it rubs off on everything....how about a make out session that doesn't include foundation or lipstick smearing off on your guy??
4. No one's saying you shouldnt wear makeup...the trick is to be able to apply the right amount in the right way to make yourself look damn fine.
5. makeup shouldnt drastically alter your facial construction or eyebrows...thats just creepy.0 -
AMEN.
One of my biggest pet peeves is when girls who wear little to no makeup think they are superior to girls who do wear makeup because they think by not wearing makeup they are more confident, etc. So yeah, this post makes me happy.
Amen girls...amen.0 -

Well said. I NEVER had acne in my teans. Hit my late 20s now 30s and I have some break outs. It sucks *kitten* to be honest. And I rather not have to wear makeup but I do. Caked on...no.
You never know what someone else has going on in their life, so it's best not to judge. Above is a perfect example. She's wearing it for a reason. It's not like she can grow new skin.0 -
I feel the same about people judging what I wear, it's none of your damn business! and if I feel confident, I'll wear it all day long. the ONLY ONLY time where I can see the need to make a comment is in a place of business. I work in sales and if I was on a deal with one of my co-workers who came in looking like Halloween, I'd probably ask them to tone it down because like it or not, the clients aren't just judging us on how great our proposal is, but also how we look and I wouldn't want that to take away.0
-
I hardly ever wear make-up, but don't care what other people do! I definitely don't think I'm superior to anyone! I'm lucky enough to have an olive complexion, dark eyes and dark eyelashes.
When I was in my 20s I used to wear make-up to work every day, and straighten my hair. Now I have 2 young kids, so I don't have as much time to get ready. My husband says he prefers me without make-up!
On the rare occasion I go out I wear make-up (like in my profile pic) and I love that excuse to get all dressed up!0 -
How about people need to learn to worry about themselves? Who cares if someone is wearing make-up or not. I wear more makeup some days when I feel like dressing up or have a break out it makes me feel better. And I just like make-up that doesn't mean I'm insecure it means I like to wear make-up who gives a crap?
:drinker:0 -
So people are allowed to wear makeup for one of your reasons, but not for their own reasons.... riiiiight.There is a difference in wearing makeup to enhance beauty and wearing makeup to cover up your low self esteem.
I for one can't stand woman wearing too much foundation, not only do I end up ingesting it when kissing her but I am pretty damn sure on the long run I will end up having kidney failure as well.
I will always prefer the more natural look, most men do anyways.
I like that you've shared your opinion, but again, most people aren't wearing makeup to appeal to others' "natural beauty" standards (:
And yeah, when they wear it to cover their poor confidence it IS sad, but whatever makes them feel better, I say go for it! But for the most part it isn't about self esteem - it's about fun and creativity.
Lets think about this.
Scenario a) OMG makeup is like totally a really awesome accessory
Scenario b)I wear makeup to boost my confidence because I have acne and although I am on some medication to try to reduce it, it makes me feel really awful about myself.
I'd say that scenario b (now you mention it, my ****ing scenario) is a little *more* valid that someone trowelling on their slap because they're "wearing it as an accessory.
Just as others have said. I'd love to be in a position where I didn't feel like I had to put on makeup to feel good about myself, and I'm taking steps towards that. However, for now, I will wear my light makeup for a "sad" reason....0 -

I love putting on eye-makeup! Matching eye shadows to my outfit, nail polish, going to the tanner, going clothes shopping, wearing high heels, getting my hair done..etc. I love going with my friends to get pedicures. It's so fun. I love it! If you don't, you don't have to hang out with me or know me, if you don't want to.0

What I've deduced from questioning male friends is that they like natural looking makeup, and generally can't tell the difference between that and a bare face. Here's a direct quote " I dunno I just like it when there aren't crazy colors on her face and her skin looks soft"0 -
I don't know. I don't wear any. lol. To each their own.Exactly! And that's another thing that bothers me. Like, in that One Direction song where it talks about how great she looks with no makeup on, most people don't even know what 'no makeup' actually looks like! lol.0 -
I believe we are actually programmed to like certain types of people because of the media. We grow up being taught THIS is pretty, THAT is sexy. Who knows how men or women would feel if they went on natural instinct. I mean look at it this way. There are girls who grow up saying "Mommy you look so pretty", grow up and go "Oh my God that is my future". What happened to them? Media happened to them. My husband doesn't spend any money on industry or check them out or etc and he loves me without make up. I mentioned getting surgery if I have lose skin or w.e. and even that freaks him out because he says he prefers me to just be natural. You can not generalize people that way because no every man is attracted to that and not every woman is. I, personally, can not stand muscles that show a lot. I just can't. lol Yet, in the media industry, and in general, people say that is attractive for some reason.Riddle Me This, Fellas:

I don't think I am superior to anyone for something that silly, but I will say I do think most women who wear a lot of make up are self conscious. I base this on my personal friends and my experience. My friend would not go to the corner store without make up in fear someone would see her and think she is not pretty or judge her etc. I would say 90% of my friends, or more, who wear make up wear it because they feel they are flawed without it. I say this, once again, because they told me it.AMEN.
One of my biggest pet peeves is when girls who wear little to no makeup think they are superior to girls who do wear makeup because they think by not wearing makeup they are more confident, etc. So yeah, this post makes me happy.0
