Ladies and Men Opinions on Makeup

I rarely wear makeup. I don't mind putting it on but I tend to rub my eyes and look like a raccoon and I also hate having to wash it off before bed. I met my husband without any make up on which was awesome, set the bar low from the get go.

I rarely found women that wear a lot of makeup attractive.
Generally I find them more attractive with less or none.
However, this isn't to say that all women I would consider to be more attractive with no makeup.

I haven't worn make up in... 17 years or something. I had a huge allergic reaction to it when I was 15 or something (I only used powder on my eyelids then), and I wouldn't even know what brand to buy now anyway... or how to apply it, lol. I've never used mascara in my life.

I think I have learned to go without it most of the time, just cos I have this paranoid, slightly ocd fear that it will be detrimental and age my skin and I need to let my skin breathe as often as I can. I dunno...I read things.

I wear a fairly considerable amount two times a week now-the times I see my boyfriend, and always have clean, perfectly straightened hair freshly painted nails, moisturised legs etc on those days. But I'm always making sure any makeup is washed off really thoroughly when I get home.

I don't wear it. If I have a special event where I am dressed-up, then I will wear eye shadow, lip gloss and mascara. Never foundation or concealer or blush.

I used to wear lipstick instead of gloss, but I would break out from it.

I think to some people, makeup automatically includes foundation. The only time I wore foundation I was 9, I was at my friend's house after school and she wanted to play dress-up with her mum's makeup. It was so gross! I felt like my skin couldn't breathe. It put me off foundation for life and I have never worn it since. If I wear makeup, I only wear mascara and a very small amount of shadow eyeliner. Because that's all I wear, it takes less than 5 minutes to do the lot, so I do tend to wear it every time I go out. If I'm just at home I usually won't bother. I'd hate to look at myself in the mirror after removing all my makeup and barely recognising the face that emerges from beneath the cosmetics. At the end of the day, someone somewhere is going to see you without your makeup, so isn't it better not to try to hide too much? I'd rather relax, knowing that there's little difference between my face with makeup and withouth.

I think that very heavy makeup can sometimes end up being quite aging for some ladies, especially if the foundation and eye makeup is really thick. Having said that, I make no judgement of people based on how much makeup they wear, it is entirely their own business and if it makes them feel good that's great!

I almost never wear it. I don't know why. I guess it just doesn't suit me. When I wear makeup, I do feel prettier, but I also feel like I am trying to be something I'm not. I don't have anything against it. It's just me.

Exactly my thought. It's been a rare occasion that I have worn it and when I did, it was nothing more than a bit of powder and a little mascara. At my age now, 56, I think it's a little late for me to start. I really have no clue how to apply it correctly anyway. haha I admit though, I do sometimes wonder if I would like the looks of a made up me and think about trying it.

I LOVE MAKEUP. Anyways, i studied to be a makeup artist and i love it. I can express myself and my creative thinking with it.
But during the week i just have a normal cleaning job so i walk around bare faced all week. I also don't like makeup when i workout and stuff. But during the weekend i like to dress nicely, and sometimes me and my boyf go to the cinema or out for dinner, so for those occasions i love to put makeup on and try new products and stuff.
But some people wear makeup because they really dislike how their face looks.Then it's not a good thing i guess.
