Chicks- How often do you wear make up? Do you think you look better with or without it?

Dudes- Do you like the natural look or a chick who can wear make up??

General- Do you think theres a difference between a thicker chick and a thinner chick not wearing make up? (i.e. a skinnier chick who doesnt wear make up looks okay because shes skinny)

Just curious

    I wear makeup if I leave the house. I have very blotchy red skin, and I don't like it, so I dust mineral powder on to even out the blotch-factor. I also am naturally blonde, so without darkening my brows (with powder, not a pencil), you can't see them... same with my lashes- if I don't wear mascara, they're not noticeable at all, even though they're quite long.

    My basic makeup is: foundation primer, mineral powder, brow-powder, eyeliner, mascara, and gloss. I can go more, and often do, but then, I tend to enjoy rockin' the red lip.

    I used to never wear makeup until freshman year of college. I used to feel fine without it, now I feel awkward when I don't have it on...that's not a good thing but it's how I feel. I will go makeup free in public, but I feel uncomfortable without it!

    I do foundation, concealer, light layer of bronzer, a top layer of a shiny powder, mascara and eyeshadow.
  • I never wear make up....unless I am taking a picture :))

    But sometimes I think that thinner girls can pull off no make up better. I think I look 100% better when I am done up. I cant pull that natural look off at all.

    I usually wear makeup..but I usually walk everywhere, so with a little sweat I think it winds up looking more natural.

    I find when I wear makeup, I can wear my drab clothes and still look decent (i.e. boy sweaters and my too big jeans).

    I wear translucent mineral powder and blush, and then brown mascara (maybe brown eyeliner too). I WISH I could wear lipstick, I own so much of it, but it just feels so weird to me and I'm always scared that I have it on my teeth.

    I put make up on every morning...unless Im cleaning the garage that day. I feel better when I look my best. I agree though, I feel like thin girls can pull off no make up better than bigger ones. Personal appearance is very important, like it or not. People judge based on how you look and carry yourself. Always be your best, always do your best and always look your best.
    Basic makeup for daily wear - foundation, blush, powder, eyeliner, mascara and gloss.
    Going out - add flashy eyeshadow, maybe something sparkly, and spend extra time on curling hair.

    never, not once and i don't care if guys like makeup or not. I'm me, like me for me or don't.

    I either don't have a stitch of makeup on and carry out my daily errands etc.
    Or I'm in full eye makeup and light skin makeup.

    Although I'm a no makeup/sweat pants/kick back type of girl, I really love playing around with eyeshadow and I love the look of full brows so i fill them in a little and throw some red lipstick on.

    I prefer not wearing makeup whenever I can though, so i wash my face regularly and moisturize daily so i can get away with it hehe. :)

    Only women with a certain type of skin can pull off the no makeup look. Their skin tends to be more on the smoother side and not Casper white.

    As far as preference goes....I'd rather see no makeup or a little than too much. For instance, if you start to sweat and it leaves pot holes in your face then you are probably wearing too much. Also, people get pimples from time to time and that's ok.....your face is not like a piece of sheet rock that you can spackle up and taper out the edges to hide every blemish.

    There is no rational or logical reason, whatsoever, for any female to wear makeup.

    I am a make-up artist and I go out with a clean face 90% of the time I go anywhere. Unless of course it's someplace nice like to dinner or if there will be pics. I am very comfortable in my natural skin. BUT, I know how to doll it up when I feel the need. I love make-up, I just don't feel the need to have it on every time I leave the house.

    I don't wear make up most of the time unless I am going out for the night, or special occasions.

    I wear makeup to work/teaching all week, but not a lot. I love the Dream Smooth Mousse and I only put blush on over that. Then mascara. Some days I like to put a little brown eyeshadow on but I save the detailed eye makeup for going out somewhere special. On the weekends I don't wear makeup unless I'm going out. I have super sensitive skin and the wrong makeup will really mess it up!

    I LOVE makeup! I wear it every day. I've experimented a lot over the years. But at the same time I do go out without it if I don't have the time. I definitely think I look better with it, it's a feeling of taking care of yourself.

    It does seem like skinnier girls can get away with more. I know a lot of super thin girls (a lot of them athletes) that can wear their hair up, no makeup, and sweats and look cute. I could NEVER get away with that.. (nor would I care to go out looking like that).

    I have been blessed with a good skin so I don't use foundation. I also have really long eyelashes and don't wear mascara if I need to wear my glasses for an extended period of time because they leave marks on the lenses when I blink. Grrrr so annoying!

    I atleast color in my eyebrows and put on mascara. I'm pale and i have blond eyebrows and lashes so I like a little color on my face. If I'm goin out with the hubby or friends it depends on the situation on how much I wear, but the heaviest I'll go is the smokey eye. I'm really not that big on makeup, lol.

    I wear make up. Usually not foundation because my skin is pretty even, but I wear blush and eye make up, and of course lip products. Not everyday, only when I leave the house and sometimes when I wanna get pretty for my man. I feel cute without makeup and pretty with makeup. But I don't ever feel like i have to cake it on to feel better about myself.

  • I wish I could wear eyeshadow so it looks natural, but has a bit of color and shading, and some blush... but I can't figure out how to do it so the only makeup I wear is chapstick. I don't see the point in dolling myself up anyways.

    I have dermatitis, so makeup breaks me out worse. I will wear makeup for special occasions knowing that it will take me a few days to get the dermatitis back under control.

    I wear concealer, powder, blush, eyeliner and mascara everyday when I go to school/go anywhere. Sometimes I go out with less, but I usually always have at least mascara on because I'm blonde and I hate how blonde my eyelashes are. I used to wear foundation everyday when I had horrible acne, but in the past year I finally got rid of most of it so I only do it when I'm dressing up.
    I also wear shadow and lipstick when I have more time in the morning/my outfit or hair calls for it, but I'm usually racing out of the house so I don't.

    I agree about how thinner girls can get away with more. Girls I see that are tiny but wear no makeup, sweats and a hoodie always seem to look cuter than I when I try to pull that off, haha. I also find myself wearing more makeup when I'm feeling bigger just because I feel like it makes me look more "put together" than I feel. But I genuinely love makeup, have aspirations to become a makeup artist (while simultaneously becoming a historian...) and think it's an art form that I love to experiment with (and who is better to experiment on than myself?), but it's not something I rely on to feel beautiful. I just think it's a way to compliment your outfit lol.
  • I wear makeup whenever I am going to class orseeing my boyfriend. Usually only eye makeup.
    I think I look 1000000x better with at least some makeup on my eyes
