    Some days I feel beautiful, and some days not. And it has nothing to do with make up.

    I mostly wear just lipstick & sometimes mascara but I feel beautiful with or without makeup. I feel like I don't know how to apply eye makeup so it looks nice so I don't even try.

    I haven't worn makeup in probably a decade, and then I only wore it 3 times a year or so.

    But then again, I generally only loosely fit into the category of "ladies."

    I try to tell my teenage daughter that less is more with this. i almost never wear makeup except special occasions. To me beautiful is natural and healthy. However when you get older you do use lose the natural glow :grumble: . When I do try makeup I feel I look "made up" and that's just not attractive in my own eyes. I'd rather look natural than young if that's the choice lol!

    To all the younger women on here who spend a lot of time in front of the mirror with beauty products- try to find your confidence NOW. You RADIATE beauty!!!!!!!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    I can do either. I like to wear make up because it makes me feel girlie. Being in the military I wear the same thing as the guys always so the make up is a way to make me still feel like a girl in uniform with my hair pulled back and up. I look at myself and do not feel beautiful like I used to but that is my size not my face. =)

    Never really wear it - maybe mascara and lipgloss/tint? Otherwise I feel like a clown

    For the most part I think I am beautiful whether or not I have make up on. It wakes me up a little bit if I put it on before work ( not much just mainly blush and mascara). =)

    I think I look ok without it, I will go on errands without it on a lot, I do look "finished" when I have it on though. As far as everything else, I struggle with not comparing myself to others. My husband tells me I am beautiful every day though :)

    I dont like to leave the house without some sort of foundation atleast, because I have a decent amount of acne scarring and i still do get zits. I don't think if its a matter of me not liking how I look enough to go out without any makeup - I like my facial features and my body, but the acne scarring is something that isn't necessarily my fault and is something that WILL change (it's not like i hate my cheekbones so i HAVE to enhance them, or something like that)
    So do I feel beautiful without make up on? Depends on the day. I love my actual features, I just hate the scarring.

    YES THIS^^^ I would love not to have to wear it , but my acne scarring is bad , if it wan't for that I would rarely wear makeup :cry:

    I always wear it, but I've never felt beautiful with or without makeup. It just makes me look better.

    I've had luck with certain oils and herbs. (I know, "oils" sounds terrible for your skin, but there are certain oils that really defy logic and don't cause my skin to BECOME oilier/break out.) Lemon juice can be beneficial in fading scars. I use a handmade foundation that contains aloe vera, vitamin E, etc., that has done wonders in just a few weeks at fading some of my scarring/clearing up current breakouts. (I order it from Etsy.)

    Tea tree oil, sandalwood, rosewater, vinegar, lavender oil, rose hip seed oil, etc., can all help if you apply them consistently. Give it a try! You might be surprised.

    Without makeup on? Or do you feel the need to wear makeup anytime you leave the house?
    I personally don't mind running errands without makeup on but I never go to work without it or anywhere else important.

    I think I look horrifying without makeup. My skin is so uneven. I won't bother putting makeup on for small errands, but I always wear make up to work. Even to the gym, I'll admit.

    Honestly, most of the time.
    I was always told my my family that I was the only one that did not need makeup, because my features are so prominent.

    So, when I do wear makeup, it is usually only mascara, because I honestly look ugly most of the time if I wear more than that.
    I'm not even wearing makeup in my pp.

    Not at all. I need makeup on, all the time (when outside. Inside my own house, not so much). Foundation and mascara minimum, usually with bronzer for contouring, subtle eyeshadow in my crease and the inner corners, and either lip gloss and/or eyeliner depending on what I'm running low on. My skin looks horrid and I have a very plain face, so from the age of 12 to present I've felt the need to do myself up regardless if I'm going outside for errands, to meet a friend, or to do something fun. I have a host of mental disorders that skew what I perceive to look like, so by no means am I thinking this about other people. I'm envious of all of you bare faced beauties.
