Women - do you wear makeup?

I occasionally wear make up, but it's not a habit. I feel so much more myself when I'm baring my real face. After a couple of months of not wearing makeup, and the mood strikes me to wear it, I feel like a clown. Everyone says I do makeup really well ("Why don't you wear it more often? You look so PRETTY!"....Um...because I feel gorgeous without it?), but I still don't prefer to spend my money that way.

Not really, and if I do it's because my boyfriend has a thing for eyeliner. I love the way my face looks without makeup, i look so... innocent. haha

Sometimes....

I normally wear make up in instances where it's appropriate - going to work, going out to bars, going out on dates. When it comes to little day to day things - going to class, going to the grocery store, sitting around in my house doing nothing, I don't wear it.

Even when I do it's very little. Eyeliner, eyeshadow, mascara, lip gloss. I'm mixed, so finding concealer/foundation/etc is normally really difficult and not worth the trouble, plus my skin isn't that bad anyway.

That being said, I feel like a lot of girls don't need as much make up as they use - both of my roommates take a lot longer to get ready than I do, but they look beautiful without going through the trouble. I dunno.

I always wear makeup before I go anywhere. I have a splotchy complexion and it evens out my skin tone. I can't stop with just putting on foundation. I've tried but I always feel like I'm not complete if I don't wear all my makeup. It consists of foundaton, loose powder to set it, eye shadow, mascara, eyebrow liner and lipstick. I wear it for myself because I think I look better with it. It doesn't look overdone though because my son can't even tell when I'm wearing makeup and when I'm not.

i always wear makeup...no foundation i cant stand the stuff...but eyeshadow(earth tones), mascarra, eyeliner, light lipliner and chapstick or gloss..and sometimes some blush if i am feeling pale.

if going to the gym i just wear a bit of eyeshadow,mascarra, and chapstick...i used to go without but my gym is in the grocery store so i have to go through lots of people to get to it..and i feel ugly ..and sometimes i need to buy a bag of milk or whatever .

i told my sister if the day comes when i start going out without makeup and not caring about my appearance to shoot me!

i do it because it makes me feel good, i wear makeup even on days i am not going out .

And if you do wear makeup, do you wear it because you want to look attractive to men or because you just like it?
I only wear make-up about 5 times a year and that is for special occasions.

Or do you feel like you wear makeup for other women? (because we all know women judge other women way more than men do)
Nope when I normally wear make-up for special event and that is because I know pictures will be taken and I was to look good in the pictures for me:)

Do you leave the house without makeup? How much makeup do you wear?
Yes all the time. When people see me with make-up on I get asked what the special occasions is. When I do wear make-up it's very little.

yup, I wear and love make up. Its fun to me and I like looking my best. I will go out without it or be seen without it but I prefer to be in it as that's how I feel happiest / best. I probably wear make up 5-6 days of the week. I wear it for me, I don't really think men notice that kinda thing so much and I don't care if other women care lol

I have really pale lashes and brows so I consider my must haves to be mascara-ed lashes, filled in brows and I feel very weird/ uncomfy without lipstick or gloss on my lips. I wear a tinted moisturizer or a light foundation about half the time too. I like either "natural" look make up or smokey eyes. Always have a shade of pink on my lips. I DO NOT wear bronzer or red lips.

I'm also really into skin care and nail polish.

i wear it every day, even if im just around the house on my own. I dont feel dressed without it.
I dont wear a lot. Bit of foundation, eyeliner, mascara and lipstick.

I wear makeup, but not everyday and definitely not a lot of the days that I do wear it.

It has nothing to do with looking good for men, other women, etc. For me, I just feel pretty wearing it. It's the same feeling when I am wearing a new pair of shoes or something. I am not trying to look good for anyone else, but it boosts my confidence when I feel like I am pretty.

Not that I don't like the way I look without makeup, but sometimes it's like the difference between wearing a nice pant suit versus jeans and a shirt. I can look great in either, but the former makes me feel prettier than I would normally look since I don't wear it all the time, and it just feels good to treat myself to a bit of confidence here and there.

Anyway, when I do wear makeup, I usually accentuate my eyes with shadow, liner, and mascara and wear a little lip color. I don't like a lot of foundation, but I do use some powder because I tend to have uneven skin tone. I hate heavy foundations, and the last time I wore it was for my bridal portrait...I even skipped it on the wedding day, lol.

I just personally think that anyone who wears makeup solely to look good for other people rather than themselves is doing themselves a disservice. I mean, there's a time and place for it, but if that's the only reason they you are leaving *you* out...and doesn't that suck?
