People wearing too much makeup...

I have pretty good skin mostly, but invisa-lashes. long LONG ones that are so light you cant see them when I'm not wearing mascara. though it does not stop me going ALL bare faced 60% of my weekdays.

Some people look great natural they have the right face for it, the long eyelashes, perfect nose, nice skin etc. There are SOME that really could use a little makeup to bring out their good qualities. I say it never hurts to put a little paint on the ole barn.

My niece was just talking to me about this last night. She has a few friends who wear way more make-up then she does and she had a hard time to understand it. I asked her 'do you wear the same style of clothing everyday'? She says "no, I like to mix it up". I told her it was just like that. Some people like to change their make-up the same way she changes style of clothing...to suit their mood. Feeling sporty? Wear less. Feeling sexy? Wear more in a smokey look. Feeling powerful? Maybe hints of power points around the eyes. Everyone expresses themselves differently. Personally I don't wear a lot on 90% of the days... just my powder and eyeliner usually... but I certainly think it's acceptable and cool when others are different from me. Wear it, feel good, change it up...do what makes ya happy. I have 2 teenage daughters. One wears some make-up, and the other only likes to put on eyeliner...sometimes, other times no make-up. People are different, and express that difference in different ways - make-up is one of them

Totally agree! Make up is a game. I usually don't wear it (although I'm make up artist, lol) but I play with it: nothing, little bit on, medium or... SUPERAWESOME lol

Some girls are TOO talented with their make up. One day you see them and they look like Scarlet Johansen, the next time you see them without make up and they look like Kathy Griffin. Thats false advertising man lol.

this is too funny. and true sometimes. I've seen a girl look like kim k, then saw her bare faced and was shocked. but its all in fun I'm sure. we also have many other "false adv" things, hair color/etc, clothing, bras. but its become quite a part of our society.

i personally like to mix it up naked truth days, slight of hand days, to full on photoshoot sexy days. its nice to play "dress up" liker i said before.

LOL.

To work at my full time job usually some concealer, darker the eye brows a bit, mascara, blush. To my other work ( bar ) I am done up way more.

Make up is fun

I'm confused-are you talking about makeup in general or while working out?

I think-"to each their own".

I prefer natural makeup-I do wear makeup every day unless I'm camping or something...but I don't go the whole 9 yards with lipstick, lip liner, brow liner, etc. I want to look like a more clean cut and "stepped up" version of myself, not like I have a mask on.

I loooove makeup. I wear it every single day. I use a light hand and usually look like Mama Fratelli (if you get that reference, I love you) at the end of the day but yeah, every single morning around 7am, I'm putting on my face! And I'm a stay at home mom, ha. It's just something that my mom taught me and I've kept to it because it's just what you do - you don't go anywhere without 1) being dressed 2) having clean hair and 3) putting on a little makeup.

Honey, you are missing one on your list: She is a Juggalo

There is nothing wrong with make up.
A question for you though: would go out of the house without any make up? If not, then there is a problem.

Seriously I don't know what you guys are talking about. I am 24 and have never wore makeup despite my recent acne problem (maybe some eyeliner and black lipstick in High School but I was going through a phase). You don't have to cake on a bunch of crap to feel sexy and confident.

Yes but if I'm wearing so much make up that I look like Tammy Faye Baker then I would hope to GOD that someone, a close friend, relative, guy on the street ANYONE would point it out to me so I don't continue to look like an idiot.

Absolutely. I go out of the house no make up and hair not done. Hats are my friend! Although right now I'm a little bit more self conscious since I've had a recent bout of acne that makes me feel like I'm thirteen again :grumble: I still go out without make up on. When I do wear it I don't wear a lot of it. It's actually rather funny because when I worked for a company I wore makeup every single day, just not a lot. The few times I wore a different eye shadow, something brighter, I'd get the "You're wearing make up!" comments. A friend of mine and I got into a debate a few months ago over whether or not I wear makeup. I don't not wear a lot of make up to feel "superior" I just think that I look horrific with it caked on.

From experience I avoid woman with too much makeup, first thing that pops into my head is insecurity and lack of confidence.

Ridiculous statement concerning make up is a billion dollar industry and millions of women wear it. Wearing makeup does not show a lack insecurity it shows a woman is taking an interest in herself and wants to feel good bout herself.

Your statement reeks of INSECURITY AND LACK OF CONFIDENCE.

Question- Does this mean that women who don't wear make up don't take an interest in themselves? I personally never wear make up. I think it makes a person look fake. If it makes you feel good to wear it, then more power to you. I feel good knowing I don't wear it.

Well said......I can't stand when others worry about why or how much makeup someone has on!! Who cares?!?!
I personally like makeup and I wear it daily due to unbalanced skin tone. No harm in that!

I use keromask to hide my pigmentation disorders, people yell out the window "hey ugly" if I leave the home without it on.

Here's an easy way to think about it.

Besides the obvious (skin scars and issues) another reason people wear makeup is to express themselves.

I know women who wear too much make up (compared to what I wear) but to them it's like their body is a canvas.

For example....how silly would I sound to presume that dudes who have random chest tattoos are insecure and did it to look like they have game and are sure of themselves? Or that women who are covered in tattoos are dark and depressed? Stereotypes are a real b*tch. (Do you see my point? )

Point is you can have your preferences of what you like, of course, regarding how much someone wears...but for the love of God, don't assume you know squat about them as a person and their security without talking to them.. That just makes you sound silly.
