Do you wear makeup?

[Skep]

makeup is a form of art in my opinion, and i wear it every single day. i love experimenting with it, and it boosts my confidence a ton <3

I don't usually wear makeup unless I'm cosplaying. I have friends who tell me to wear makeup because it boosts their self confidence so it would boost mine too, but actually I'm quite the opposite. When I wear makeup in day to day life I feel as though I'm hiding who I am and that it's an act and I'm not really me and so I feel uncomfortable and like people are judging me for wearing makeup. I do occasionally if I do wear makeup put on eyeliner and some mascara but those are probably the only two consistent makeups I wear outside of cosplaying or dressing up for something relatively important.

I wear makeup because it's fun. Sounds like it's not fun to you to wear it everyday. So I agree that you should only do what makes you feel good about YOU.

I was really into gyaru in high school so I would wear everything including circle lenses and lashes, daily. Even if I was going out to get mail. Now that I'm in college I still wear makeup but I don't always wear lenses and I rarely wear lashes if I'm going to school but if I'm going out to do stuff that day I will. I've got a lot of MAC and Lorac stuff. I want to get some Anastasia Beverly Hills stuff mainly the dipbrow and creme contour kit. I'd say makeup helped me a lot in finding myself when I was younger. I became a lot more confident in myself and I began to appreciate myself without makeup too.

But it bothers me when people sloppily apply makeup or, as was a trend in my school ONLY wearing bright pink or bright blue eyeshadow REGARDLESS of their outfit e_e

EDIT: tips for cleaning lashes, gently remove the excess glue from them with tweezers everyday after use. And you can probably get by with using makeup remover on them every so often if you're the type to use mascara with your lashes. I never used mascara with mine because they last longer and look less funky. I may use a very very light coat but nothing else but that depends on if they're a more expensive pair or not.

That's a great tip. I only use mascara before I put on the lashes, on my own lashes so they have the same curve as the false ones. I do take the glue off to reuse the lashes, but I've never cleaned them with makeup remover. Mainly cuz I don't use makeup remover, I just use jojoba oil...but I guess I could buy a small bottle of makeup remover just for this purpose.

That's my tip for those of you that don't like mascara/eye makeup, because it's hard to take off. If you use any kind of oil first (jojoba, olive, almond, etc) and rub gently, the makeup on your eyes and face will just melt off. Then I like to follow up with a face wash to feel extra clean. It's even great at removing red red red lipstick.

I don't wear makeup anymore because I'm lazy. If I spent a lot of time and money trying to get the best products and watching tutorials, etc, maybe I could pull it off. But even then, I'm not gonna get up early to put it on.

I wore it every day from the age of 14 to about 26. Then one day I just said "*#$% it" and stopped. For me, makeup was always hard and never really looked great. I can't do eyeliner, lipstick rubs off on my teeth, and foundation becomes like an oily mudpaste on my skin (even when I used powder) after an hour or two. Plus, it caused my face to break out. I realized this after I stopped wearing makeup and lo and behold, my complexion improved dramatically. I've given it a try on and off in the last 4 years, but every time I ended up with a breakout. So now I don't even have any on hand. EDIT: Oh and don't even get me started on eyeshadow. I can't get both eyes to match, and then it just rubs off after bilnking too much.

tl:dr I look better without makeup so I don't wear it.

Oil can be a great substitute too! But I think it can break some people out, I use a mix of olive oil and liquid soap to clean my brushes when I don't have any brush cleaner so that's always a good idea too.

I can't be bothered to wear makeup unless I'm doing something special, like visiting family. I used to wear it every day when I was in school, but now I just don't care to put it on. I wish I could be one of those people who can wear it every day but I just can't. I like to watch makeup tutorials sometimes though

Personally I wear mascara and sometimes foundation to cover up pimple scars. I want to use eyeliner but I always fail when it comes to drawing the second eyeline. I find it difficult to do eyeliner I always end up poking myself xD

The drag queens in my life dump all their make-up into my studio. I literally have no idea why there are so many brushes but that is not a disrespect to the make-up royalty, it is a mere allusion to my newbie-ness. I want to learn, show me your ways.

I'm a guy.. and I guess I wear tons of it.. I'm not very good at eyeliner.. I generally wear mascara, lip-gloss, foundation, and I used to wear eyeliner but I looked like a raccoon in my eyes. I simply wasn't good at applying it. I get super anxious and my hands shake rapidly. QQ

I don't need Makeup, I'm a natural beauty


and even If i did wear makeup I would still be more fabulous than everyone:





Seriously tho, I can't wear much makeup anyway, I have serious sense skin man, I can't wear face paint or even put some types of soap on my face without getting a massive rash :l

still, I'm a natural beauty so I don't need makeup anyway (I'm not vain I'm just joking in case you can't tell...)

 

[tinytaylor]

occasionally. it's either eyeliner or mascara and never both at the same time.

 

[ssvv227]

I'd like to say that I don't have time for that. But really I'm just too lazy to even get started. I like browsing youtube videos of makeup tutorials but the collection they use for one single look is just intimidating. The answer is No. I have never personally put a single drop of product on my face; the most is some cream when the weather is dry...

I'll admit, those youtube makeup tutorials are pretty interesting to watch.

lol I gotcha. Guess everyone isn't as blessed as you. Really unfair. ;-;

I wear makeup since I stay up late and the dark circles mang. I wear concealer and mascara to help me look more awake and appear less tired. Plus looking exhausted at work looks unprofessional.

(I thought I would just put that in brackets just in case people take that the wrong way lol) I know right? My beauty is a blessing, I'm as fabulous as it gets ~

I don't wear makeup. It's too much of a hassle and just mehhh, I'd rather not.

 

[LyraVale]

Having watched TONS of those over the years, I'd say they use way too many products, because they BUY too many products. It can get addictive to buy 40 shades of brown eye shadow, and use them all at once. It doesn't make the look any more creative or effective. It's really not necessary, when you can do a great look with only 2-3 eye shadows (or even one, or even none).

The drag queens in my life...

Aw, how I wish I could start a sentence like this.

Squee. I love makeup. I wear makeup most days of the week. If I'm feeling too lazy, I'll just fill in my brows but I could spend all day at sephora if I could!
