    I have been a makeup junkie ever since I got a Blondie record as a kid... I love it! I love creating new looks but I mainly stick to a natural/neutral look while playing up my eyes. I will not leave the house without at least tinted moisturizer and mascara!

    This is me, I only use mascara - if men dislikes me for not using tons of makeup, they are not worth it..

    I use mascara because I'm blond, therefore my eyelashes are VERY light and not noticeable... Otherwise, I never apply makeup.

    Personally, I prefer women that do not wear any makeup.

    omg, will you marry me... lol!!! I wear make up when I'm going out and that's about it. I don't wear it in my every day, even though I've been told I should by my girl friends. I do wear a red lipstick from time to time but get more attention from girls than guys when I do, haha .

    NO Makeup, so 95% of the time:

    It totally changes how I carry myself. I don't wear it often, because usually I just like to be comfortable, but I do notice that when I wear makeup people... stare at me? Lol Idk. Maybe I'm just paranoid.

    The only time I wear makeup is on my days off...which are pretty limited.

    I have no problems being hit on..don't need make up for that.

    I think every woman looks better with a little make up, its an accessory for your face. :)

    I don't go all out every day, and in the summer I hardly wear any. I do try to wear either lipstick or lip gloss because without it I look like I'm sick. You tell me...

    I've never actually worm makeup, other than a tiny bit of mascara because of peer pressure. I kind of like fading in the background and not getting all the attention, so for me it's fine. :p Although I've always wondered what it'd be like to be in full on makeupmode and be pretty and stuff.

    I don't always wear make up and when I do it doesn't look like I'm wearing any. When I do a different eye color though I do get comments like "You're wearing make up!"

    I really don't feel the need to wear it. The majority of the time I go out bare faced. Sometimes it's blush, mascara and lipstick. Sometimes I add eyeshadow and eyeliner.

    As a guy, I never liked the whole make-up thing ... glad my wife chooses to use it rarely! :) ... I love her, not an image ... even perfume ... I mean if you want to wear deodorant, I get that, ok lol ... but I never got the other stuff ... I'm sure I'm weird, but that's just me ... to each their own! :)

    That's odd... I hardly ever wear makeup...
    Makes me feel like I have cake on my face... no matter how light the powder.

    The only time I wear it is to cover a blemish...or if I am really "going out"!!

    To each her own....
    I prefer o'natural...

    As do i. Besides...i always forget that i have make-up on, when i do (which is rare). I happen to rub my eyes a lot and i always smear it.

    Eh, after all the other stuff we do to ourselves, makeup is like the final brush stroke to the master peice. I like subtle make up, personally, even out the skin tone, and add some mascara. But I appreciate how creative people get with it. I wear it cause I like to, and don't think about it more than that.

    For one I look completely different with and without makeup. I'm going to see if I can find a picture of my without make up and hopefully I'll post a few pictures in a second

    ETA:

    I think this is no make-up to maybe a little...I am not wearing any eyeliner or eye makeup and for me that's something I have to have lol but I dont think this is really a good example lol but close enough

    and with make up

    I waited tables for 13 years. Days I didn't wear make-up, my tips were always SEVERELY effected. Take that as you will. I have no reason to explain it, and when I bring it up people either refuse to believe it, or come up with random theories.

    Some days I'd wake up and not have time or just not be in the mood to paint my face, and I paid for it,, often in tens or hundreds less than I usually make in a day.

    It's not a confidence thing. I behave the same in make-up, out of make-up, whatever my hair is doing, whatever I'm wearing. It has everything to do with first impressions and how other people percieve you. Apparently, if i don't wear make-up, I look like someone who either doesn't need or doesn't deserve the same tip you would give someone who had eyeliner on.

    ALSO,

    Tips were better if I bleached my hair or wore a blonde wig. Hair style or length didn't make a difference, but color made a huge difference. Tips aren't different from brunette to red, but blonde = CASH MONEY.

    Tan level didn't make a difference either. Nor did eye color.

    Yeah, I had lots of time to experiment on appearance vs tips in 13 years.

    This totally makes sense. As sad as it is, it's true.
