People wearing too much makeup...

love this! I wear my makeup and my clothes or bikinis for ME and no one else. Not even my husband....

just dont be sloppy with it!!!

wipe the lipstick off your teeth dammit! and if your friends are constantly telling you about the lipstick on your teeth - try not wearing as much.

the mascara - it's for your lashes, not intended to be smudged & smeared around your eyes cause you're in a rush. you look like a member of KISS without talent.

bronzer - unless you've spent a windy day at a baseball field do not apply so much orange that you look dirty.

and using Sally Hanson's panty hose spray as an all over tanning spray doesnt look good at all! If you sweat a tiny bit, it runs off everywhere. It's gross, find something else.

and if your fake toe nail keeps falling off - dont go around asking people if they've seen it. Just dont mention it - it makes people uncomfortable.

and if I'm having to tell one person all these issues - we cannot be friends, cause you're disgusting.

Yes, I know this woman I just described.

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.

Oh I agree with you. I never wear any make up. But I dont see anything wrong with women that do. Its their thing, nothing wrong with that, as long as its not too much.

LLLOOOLLLLL!!! That's because people keep posting pictures on fb/instagram/etc. with a full face of make-up on and saying "no filter".....it's confused everybody! LOL

Edit: This was def supposed to be a reply to a comment...still learning....smh

On the flip side. My husband's friend brought a girl over for a few weekends. She was very pretty, but after an afternoon hanging out at the fire, they got changed at our place to hit the bar. She put on a plaster coat of foundation, fake eyelashes, bronzer and tons of eyeliner and lipstick. She looked so fake, like a made over oompa-loompa, but before all the makeup she was a natural beauty. After makeup, she resembled those fake-looking duck face girls all over the internet. DEFINITELY not an improvement.:huh:

I barely ever wear make-up as my SO hates it... but then again, I hardly wore it before that even though I'm quite good at applying it. I think I have pretty good skin without it.

That being said, I don't have a problem with other people wearing it, even if it is quite a lot.

However, if you're my friend and you look silly enough that people are talking about it, I'm going to tell you. I had a friend that wore her make-up in a way that made her look like Mimi from the Drew Carey show and people were calling her Mimi behind her back. I helped her work out a way to do her make-up that helped her accentuate what she wanted to without looking silly.

I have another really good friend that wears just as much if not more make-up but does so perfectly. It's a perfect extension of her personality and her style.

If you're going to wear a lot of make-up you just have to do it right...

Edit: spelling

Honestly I tend to view girls/ women who wear a lot of make up as being super high maintenance. Mainly because their hair is just so and god forbid if a piece is out of place!

I'm the kind of girl who can be showered, dressed and out the door in fifteen minutes if I have to and I still look awesome.

ETA: Not sure what you all are constituting as a lot but for me it's when you can pretty much chisel their face off and you have to wonder what they really look like underneath all that stuff.

these are also largely assumptions. I straighten my hair maybe once a month. usually i let it dry curly or however it wants. and do not care if it gets messed up, i learn to almost expect it and bring a clip incase it does. I am not at all high maint. I take very little time to shower and get ready everyday. I do not buy expensive cloths, nor do I have to be dolled up daily. If a girl that thinks like this saw me one day, hair a muss, no make up and in yoga pants and hubs tee, they'de think different about me than if they had caught me on a dress up for hubby date type day.

its all assumptions.

you want to know ppls reasons, or whatever, ask them. don't assume.

Did you not read my edit? "ETA: Not sure what you all are constituting as a lot but for me it's when you can pretty much chisel their face off and you have to wonder what they really look like underneath all that stuff."

And yeah, it IS an assumption as well as my opinion as are all the other comments in this thread. I didn't specifically call you out or anyone here. I was simply stating what I felt and thought.

as was I dear.




and to miss AmberJo1984, last few lines... AGREE 100%

To the men who say they like the "natural" look- naturally, my skin is pale yet still red and blotchy and kind of washed out, and my eyebrows and eyelashes are so pale that I look like the dude in "Dark Side of the Moon" when he shaves off his eyebrows. I'll bet you dollars to donuts that when I put on a little powder to even out my skin tone, blush, blonde eyebrow pencil, brown mascara and lipgloss that is the same color as my gums (the trick to natural lip color), my husband and male friends think I'm makeup free. When i'm ACTUALLY makeup free I get "Are you sick, tired, hungover, etc". I don't take it personally because for me, the no-makeup look just looks worn-out. My mom and best friend have the same problem. Now for my dark-haired friends, they can easily go makeup free, because you can see their eyebrows and eyelashes, and olive complexions tend to have a bit more color in the cheeks. But I begrudge no one their makeup! (unless the lip liner is darker then the lipstick, because then your mouth looks like a *kitten*). Oh and makeup at the gym- ridiculous. If you're at the gym and your makeup isn't sweating off, you're doing it wrong.

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?

I wear it not to scare the little kids.







Seriously though... I wear it when I feel like it and don't when I don't. Depends on my mood and the amount of time I have. Anddd i don't really care who wears it or not though have seen a few of my teenagers friends wear it so thick that you couldn't get it off with sandpaper... but hey, that's their business and I figure they like it like that so yeh... go for it.

the lip liner thing made me giggle.

I never wear makeup because I don't really know how to put it on. I was never a girly girl and I was raised by a "natural" woman. The handful of times I do wear make up (just eye shadow and eye liner) my boyfriend always says that I don't need it. I look the same with or without it.

hahaha love the lip liner part lol hilarious! My makeup sweats off at the gym and it doesn't bother me at all. I go straight from work to the gym so I don't have to worry about taking it off.

ditto for my sister. If she doesn't she knows she might not go or have time. So she goes with make up if she wore it that day but it sweats off.

Guess what...you chicks need to get a clue. Make-up is one thing, but looking like a clown is another thing. Why would you want to make yourself look like a plastic blow up doll? A lot of those reasons you named for wearing make-up are true, but the only valid one was having somewhere to go later. I would have even excepted that some people have scars or bad skin, but other than that if you are perfectly beautiful already why not just "enhance" your own beauty vs. covering it up!

If I say you have on too much make-up its not because I don't like make-up or think everyone should look like me. I say it because you look like a hot mess and figured you could use the advice. Looking like you face could be peeled off and set on the table is NOT cute. Just saying....

I wear makeup because on days that I don't, people (be it friends or strangers) will pull me aside, ask me how I'm doing and if everything is alright.

Naturally, I have uneven skin tone. The bags under my eyes are very prominent when I don't wear makeup. My skin reflects how tired I am. So I wear a base of concealer and moisturizer every day. And I wear eyeliner and mascara to make my eyes pop. It's not a lot, but a little bit really does go a long way.
