Ladies and Men Opinions on Makeup

I **might** wear make up once a week. Maybe every two weeks. I don't think it's neccessary and I feel bad for women who NEED it or feel they do for their self confidence.

And some say that it's a lack of pride in myself that would make me not wear makeup.

However, it's the exact opposite in my opinion. I'm comfortable enough in the skin I'm in to leave barefaced and beautiful.

I used to NEVER leave the house or have any one see me without make up on... I remember when I was dating my husband and he'd spend the night, if I woke up earlier than him, I'd actually put on makeup before he woke up. lol.


Now, I go out without makeup on ALL the time.. I only put make up on if I'm going somewhere nice or if I'm going to take a pic. I guess having 3 kids kinda does that to you.

Same here! ^_^

Hahahaha Win!

I prefer a girl who can leave the house without makeup and wears it for special occasions. I'm no scientist, but it seems to me that makeup can cause bad skin, thus requiring that person to wear even more. It's a slippery slope.

Also, I like the natural or at least minimalist look. I'm not a high school goth kid anymore.

WTF do I know, though, I'm a dude.

^^^ love this!

I don't wear make-up majority of the time even to work.
But if I'm going out for dinner or party then I put make-up on but I have never been one of those girls who "cakes" on the foundation. I just put a little squirt under my eyes and that is it. :happy:
But I love watching make-up tutorials and seeing how other people do it, I just never have time to do it to myself in the morning.

I always wear it - I do not feel attractive if I am not made up.

Now mind you, I believe that makeup enhances your natural look and it shouldn't change how you look, so my makeup is very natural.

I remove it every night before bed and then cleanse and moisturize my face so my skin has not suffered at all.

A little bit is ok to bring out some highlights. However, putting on enough to make a mime jealous is not.

There was a time that i never left my house withought something even if it was just powder and eye liner, now im mostly withought make up but i do enjoy t sometimes, my husband says either way is fine with him.. really depends on my mood and where im going, plus i cant wear too much in the hospitals

I wear it every day. Usually only don't wear it on weekends around the house or if I'm hungover and don't GAF.

this ^^

I don't wear any... I have a few times, but it always feels weird on my face and I'm *so very aware* that it's there. Plus I break out like a mofo every single time I wash it off.

It's not worth the hassle for me.

There are few things more UNATTRACTIVE to a guy than a girl that wears a ton of makeup. My girlfriend wears foundation and occasionally a little mascara or lip balm. I wouldn't have it any other way.

I wear makeup daily but that is my personal choice. If I am going swimming or working in the yard on a Saturday I don't bother with it at all. I enjoy going bare but I personally don't feel put together if I don't have makeup on for the day.

This. I had acne in high school (not due to wearing makeup) and made me uncomfortable to go out of the house without it. I usually have to have foundation or powder and mascara, but most days I wear bronzer, eyeshadow, and liner too. It only takes me 5 minutes in the morning, so it isn't a big hassle for me. To all those women who have great skin and don't need it. . . You suck lol

I wear makeup, but it's fairly minimal... I really don't look that different if I don't wear it (maybe a little more tired, lol).

I've pretty much always been that way (save for a couple of years when I was younger and PILED it on to go out...)

Didn't ever want to look like a totally different person or like I was wearing a mask - yes, I do know people that I don't recognize without makeup.

I like to wear makeup because I think it's fun. Not because I think I need it to be attractive or anything like that. One of my biggest pet peeves is girls who don't wear makeup who think that they are better than girls who wear makeup. Another pet peeve is people who think that girls wear makeup to attract men. Ugh, no. I don't care what men think of my face. I care what I think of my face. And if I think I look great with bright red lips, then I'm gonna have bright red lips. (By the way, I DO look great with bright red lips.)

Also, I tend to dress nicely. I wear dresses 99% of the time and have my hair done, and wearing makeup just makes me feel polished and finished. I dress this way and make myself up that way because I like it.

And just to clarify -- not all makeup is bad for your skin. I wear makeup most days that I leave the house, and my skin is pretty great. Of course, I remove all of my makeup and wash my face and moisturize each night, which plays a big part in it. Knowing how to properly apply makeup and remembering to take it off and keep your skin clean can make a made-up face look perfectly fine and natural but accentuated. That's what day-to-day makeup should be for. To accentuate, not to change. And I think a lot of people (mostly those who claim to dislike makeup) forget that.
