I wear makeup. To accentuate what already have. Plus it's kind of have to. I do hair so I have to pretty much look good everyday I'm in the salon. That means waking up thirty or more minutes early and putting an effort in. Mainly it's me getting up and drinking caffeine and sitting down at my vanity for 20 minutes!0

Plus I look 16 without makeup! No shame. Lol0

Me too girl I feel you but now a days I just wear eyeliner, mascara,tinted moisturizer, concealer and blush lol0 -
I love makeup though. I used to wear it all the time and wear it well. I took all my application tips from Vogue. I mostly go bare faced now unless I'm attending a social function. Plus I'm over 40 and don't want the foundation to settle into the little lines that now frame my eyes. If there's a way of avoiding that, please let me know
Use a makeup primer. It helps fill in the little lines and pores so your foundation goes on smoothly. Also, as others have stated, use an age-appropriate foundation. There are some great formulas out there, some that stay put and don't rub off. You can totally wear makeup over 40; I do it every day (full face, as in my profile pic).
I do like her makeup but it's heavy for a day look. I feel like she could enhance her beauty with just some BB cream to even out her skin, fill in her eyebrows, mascara to bring out the blue eyes, maybe a little colour on her cheeks. That would be a great day look for her.

I would recommend the becca primer it's pretty awesome!0 -
It takes me about 2 minutes maybe to do my make-up in the morning. BB cream foundation, eyeliner and mascara. Maybe eye-shadow if I'm feeling adventurous that day. I simply don't have the time or the desire to do more than that. Days that I don't work I don't even mess with it.0

I actually look younger without make up I've noticed. I'm 50/50 sometimes I wear it, sometimes I don't. Depends on my mood.0

False Advertising. lol0

I'm first to admit that make up is beautiful and makes a big difference! However "Less is More" A little cover up and accent is lovely, but we can go too far and end up looking like a Drag Queen if we apply too much! My daily make up routine starts with a light moisturizer, a thick coat of sunscreen that I let dry, then if needed on that particular day, a light foundation, curl my lashes, a coat of mascara and finally my lip liner and lipstick. That's it! For special events I'll add a light eyeliner on top edges and a couple more coats of mascara and as far as blush goes...I never touch the stuff! My daily makeup takes around ten minutes!0

it would be false advertising if people who wore make-up were consumable products. good thing we aren't. anyways i'm in a very committed relationship with my eyeliner.0

i have no problem putting it on, i just always dread taking it off - inevitably, some will get in my eye and sting for a while.
9 days out of 10, i won't bother.0 -
My opinion is that if makeup changes SO MUCH how someone looks naturally, then it's no different than wearing a mask. Consequently my past girlfriends all wore pretty light make up.

The girl in the OP is a perfect example of that. She looks fine either way, but she also looks like two completely different people!
The other girl that posted ber before and after is what it should be about, imo. Enhancing her looks rather than changing them entirely. ETA: on a daily basis that is. Sometimes it's fun to frost the whole cake and go out.
Personally, I think I look better with it, but younger (and possibly more tired) without it.0 -
no amount of make up will hide a double chin0
