Pikanyaa Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Pretty straightforward poll (and yes, this applies to guys too!) I never wore makeup growing up because my mom never wore it. Also it's too expensive and I look better without it, imo. I've had to wear eyeliner and lipstick before for dance recitals when I was younger, and I look a lot less friendly with makeup on. =P Plus I like to be able to rub my eyes without ruining my face. I only hope I won't be pressured into wearing it when I enter the professional world after college. Share your opinions! Link to post Share on other sites

TheBioNerd Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I started wearing makeup in high school because I thought that's just what girls were supposed to do at some point in their lives. After a while, I felt it cost too much money, took too much time/concentration/patience to put on, and made me look too much like someone else for me to want to keep doing it. Every once in a while, I'll put on some eye-liner because I think it looks cool, but that's about it. I agree about the rubbing my eyes part, though. That's not a good look on anyone XP.

catsaregood Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Nearly all the time! I like wearing it, but I think it's also a bit of a mask from people...I only wear fairly normal amounts though, enhancing my natural features :) but really more for myself than others.

Guest Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Generally I keep it pretty simple with regular ole' chap stick. However I do like lip gloss. Occassionally I wear lipstick, eyeliner. I have this amethyst color eyeliner which is out of this world!! ;) Link to post Share on other sites

Mauve Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Except for a little something on my lips, no! But I need some colour on my lips because without it, I would feel pretty bare - I'm just so used to it. For the rest of the face, I favour the natural look (no makeup) and this is admittedly easier to do, when you have reasonably good skin to begin with. My mother also does not wear any makeup, except for eyeliner. I really do believe that the mother's skin care/makeup habits influence the daughter's skin care/makeup habits to an extent - I grew up observing my mother's natural beauty, even in the midst of heavily makeup-ed faces - so I never did feel a strong pull towards wearing a full face of makeup. Having said that, I am hoping that I can continue with the natural look (no makeup), as I progress into the workplace. But it doesn't look like it unfortunately. For instance, surely there is need for a concealer? And then eventually comes the other things. Link to post Share on other sites
Maelstrom_17 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I don't agree with wearing makeup at all. I feel like people do it because society and males (which is dominated by men in a lot of countries still) expect us to. Plus, men don't have to wear any of that ridiculous stuff, yet they expect women to look all fancy when they don't have to put in anywhere near as much effort. That being said, I do like applying concealer/face powder once in awhile. Link to post Share on other sites
Elisabeth33 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I try to keep it looking natural and only when I feel like wearing makeup. I usually just wear blush for my cheeks and lipstick because I've stabbed myself in the eye too many times putting on mascara. And I only wear makeup if I want to look cute or something, but I'm usually good without it. Link to post Share on other sites
Crealityisabeast Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 i rarely wear make-up. i think the last time i wore it was for my cousin's wedding about two years ago? i don't like how it feels on my face and i always rub my face. (like i have splotches of foundation and mascara on my sleeves from rubbing my face) Link to post Share on other sites

AnomalyEternal Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I never wear make-up. I have worn it before for school performances or when I was younger and my mum put it on me, but I just really couldn't care less. I find it boring and get irritated if people insist I wear it. I think it's just a waste of time and that you're kind of covering up who you really are. You shouldn't need to wear make-up for people to like you or respect you or find you aesthetically appealing. But I also believe that if you like to wear it because it's just something you like doing, then that's your business; go right ahead. Link to post Share on other sites
Pyro Yoshi Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I don't leave the house without makeup. I'm the type of girl who puts on eyeliner, mascara, lipstick and concealer just to go to school or work. I'm not insecure about how I look, I just prefer to wear makeup. The only time I'm barefaced is when I'm at home. Link to post Share on other sites

bradbury Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I don't really agree with the way society almost forces young girls to start wearing make-up, but I suppose that's a different topic altogether. I do like wearing it on occasion; I used to put on (basic) make-up every day because people'd tell me I look tired or ill otherwise but now I feel confident enough to leave the house without eyeliner and mascara.

mint__ Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I do not wear makeup. I have some perfumes that have been offered to me. Sometimes, I use them. But, if I didn't have them, I would not use perfume either. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Cleanse, tone, moisturize, face primer, foundation, eye primer, eyeliner, mascara, eyeshadow, Vaseline as a lip primer, lipstick... when a concert, club night, etc. calls for it. Perfume? I'd wear feminine perfume oils since I already have an assortment of masculine oils. No sprays, thanks. Link to post Share on other sites

littleheartsofjoy Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Sometimes when I feel like it, I do. That is usually limited to tinted lip balms though. I like lip gloss too, and the idea of lip stains as well but that's really it. I consider filling in my brows sometimes but I never go through with it >.< I never really wear perfume though. I don't smell bad or anything, but I just rarely do perfume. Not sure why. Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Darkhorse Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Other than chapstick, I don't wear makeup or perfume unless it's a special occasion. And the chapstick is really so when I chew my lip (it's a nervous habit) I don't make it bleed. Link to post Share on other sites
LaMaestra Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I don't wear makeup or perfume. But I'm cool with others wearing it, that's their business. Other women, that is. I don't like seeing men in makeup. The only exception is for gentlemen of the stage such as actors, presenters etc. That is part of the job. I don't particularly like wearing it. Also I have sensitive skin and am allergic to most toiletries and cosmetics. I also find the smell of most perfumes offensive. Link to post Share on other sites
Alfred_Juumonji Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 The only time I wear make up is for cons. I feel comfortable with my face, which is good enough for me. Link to post Share on other sites
peanut-butter-cloud Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I do, sometimes. Most of the time, I'm too lazy to bother with it at all, but I wear it when I have a presentation, or a special event. I never go heavy with it - I almost never wear eyeshadow or mascara, and I don't even own any eyeliner. Mainly, I just want to cover up pimples and acne scars. So a "full face" of makeup for me is foundation, concealer, a little bit of blush, and lipstick that matches my natural lip color. Often, if I'm feeling lazy but still have pimples or scars I want to cover up, I just use concealer and call it a day. I'd say 85% of the time, I'm makeup-free. 10% of the time, I wear just concealer, and then 5%, "full face" of makeup. Link to post Share on other sites
Firlefanz Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 The only makeup I wear is mascara. My eyelashes are so light-colored, they are nearly invisible (well, actually they were, now they are a bit darker, by the use of mascara, I guess). So, if I wear mascara, I like the way it emphasizes my eyes and their color, and I also feel as it kind of compensates for the natural dark rings under my eyes. I also bought an eyeliner some years ago, but I never used it, I guess for me using it is not worth the concentration and time it takes. In general I like the natural look better and if it wasn't for social pressure, I think I also wouldn't wear mascara. In secondary school I was actually the last girl in my class to wear mascara and before doing it, I felt pressured for months. Leaving the house not wearing mascara feels somehow strange, but when I know I'm just going to a shop near were I live or visiting a person I'm really close to, I often save the time and effort.

Syphon Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Never wear makeup personally. Bit to expensive for my tastes (atm), but if I was to wear it would be for myself. Little confidence boost never hurt :D Link to post Share on other sites
