Not only am I terrible at applying make up. I plainly don't like it, nor find it necessary to wear, or feel like looking unnaturally pretty.

farewell, everyone
Ah, it's not really unnatural if you're wearing a fair amount. It's still your face, and as long as it's not totally caked/covered, I think it doesn't really matter if it's unnatural or natural. Sometimes it looks like you're not even wearing it, so a little doesn't hurt. (;

I put bbcream (for some coverage and spf so i don't get wrinkles too prematurely hehe), concealer for my dark circles, and clear mascara. Sometimes I wear brown eyeliner (just lining upper eyelid) or eyeshadow. That is for my usual routine.
And I only wear makeup if I go outside, like class or hanging out with friends. My makeup is pretty natural. And if I wasn't putting on bbcream, i'd wear sunscreen, which doesn't give a nice feeling :/

I love wearing bright lipstick. I don't trust myself to apply eye makeup very accurately due to being blind in one eye. I've heard that it's possible to get good at it with lots of practice but idk, the idea of having to close my good eye to apply eye shadows blindly is off putting and I look like a clown when I've tried :c
I'm glad there's not too much of the whole ~elitist, I'm better than you because I don't wear makeup~ vibe in this thread. I wear makeup pretty much every time I go out because I feel more put together with it on.
I use BB cream (Etude House), MAC's studio fix for my t zone, MAC's black liquid liner, Mascara (Maybelline's the falsies and Clinique's bottom lash mascara), bronzer (Too Faced), blush (MAC), some natural looking lip product, and I fill in my eyebrows with some Shiseido eyebrow powder.

I almost always wear makeup because it boosts my self esteem when I can at least look a little bit decent. I normally just wear mascara and concealer / powder (I have a few really faint pimple scars on my face and it sucks :c), and sometimes blush if I'm in the mood. ; v ; Sometimes I'll try to wear eyeliner on special occasions, but I do that rarely because I feel like I don't look good with it on for some reason.

idk man
Naw not really. I'm gonna be in a band in a few months though, and when we do gigs, I'll probably wear makeup.

I don't use much. My staples, though - like things I won't leave the house without - are:
That's all, really. I wing my liner and make sure my skin looks nice and matte. I can't be bothered to do anything else. Sometimes I fill in my brows a little if I overpluck, but I don't need a special pencil for it since my natural hair color is dark and I don't dye my brows with my hair (lmao, like I said, can't be bothered) - my liner does just fine.
I don't put anything on my lips but chapstick, though I had an almost disturbing obsession with the C.O. Bigelow tube gloss when I was in high school still. My lips don't carry color well, I don't think, so I just gave up on that. ...Though, once upon a time, my father brought home a tube of sparkly blue Milani gloss and that, combined with how pale I am, made me look like a corpse. A sparkly corpse, no less. So that was fun.
In middle school I was one of those kids who did the whole black shadow, mascara, and lipstick thing. I secretly still have a soft spot for mall goths.
I do it because [insert big rant about sexism in the workplace and how you're perceived as being less professional if you don't wear makeup here] and also because of lingering shiz from one of my abusive exes who convinced me that I had to have a full face of makeup at all times in order to be "presentable". Going on like 9 years since that guy and I can finally go to the grocery store in my pajamas like everyone else without giving a ****. Feels good.
1. Kat Von D's tattoo something-or-other ("lock it"?) foundation - which I use as concealer, lmao, because foundation always looks either really cakey or isn't opaque enough in my experience so I've just never bothered with it. Before I found this, the closest thing I could find to my skin tone was like... a maybelline stick that was literally called "white". The tube itself was stark paper-white, and the concealer itself wasn't paper-white, a little pink leaning maybe, but that's seriously the only thing I could use because everything else skewed too yellow and I'm basically a vampire. So the Kat Von D stuff, while outrageously expensive by my standards, is a godsend. (Light 42/44) And I only use it to even out skintone / correct spots, not camouflage my under-eye circles (believe it or not, I like mine, tyvm - everyone's always telling me I shouldn't and I get super indignant about it haha).
2. Styli-Style 24/7 Waterproof Eyeliner. It's a crayon/pencil type but it behaves like the pricier Urban Decay stuff for me, so I'm thankful I found it; stays on the rims of my eyes for a good couple hours (we're talking waterline here) without smudging, and I've got super oily skin, so daaaamn is that impressive. I always get it in dark grey or black.
3. POWDER. Baby powder, specifically - talc free because dnw carcinogens - and because, again, I'm painfully white. It's cheap and it soaks up oil and sets my concealer fine, so I'm happy with it.

Yeah I always wear makeup. On days when I don't feel like doing much I just throw on some powder foundation, bronzer and mascara. When I feel like doing it up I do the whole liquid liner cat-eyes thing. I used to do it every day but liquid liner is expensive and it takes longer than I want it to. However I'm quite the pro at it after doing it so much so that's a plus

Nice, I love Kat Von d's cosmetics. use her powder concealer and her liquid "tattoo" liner. I live and die by that stuff, it's the best liquid liner I've ever used.
Also I'm glad to hear you can go out in your pajamas and feel good about it, nobody should ever have to worry about what they look like without makeup. Abusive exes can suck it

Nope, I know as cheesy as it is and as much as you get sick of hearing it, you're beautiful just the way you are, sure you might not have the body or face of a supermodel, and it's ok to wear makeup on special events, but sometimes makeup is just making you look worse!
As nice of a sentiment as that is, I think people should be able to do whatever they want with their faces
Wear makeup everyday if it makes you feel more beautiful. Some people also wear makeup because it's a way of expressing themselves.
