Do you wear makeup?

[inkling]

yes, I wear it everyday and I like it. I take breaks on the weekend though. You should try at least wearing mascara..it makes a big difference.

I don't really wear makeup on a daily basis.

I usually only wear a full face of makeup (eyeliner, mascara, lipstick, eyebrow pencil) when there's a special occasion.

On a regular day, I only fill in my eyebrows.

yes, i always like to be done up. but i rarely wear it in the summer since i have a pool and go to the beach a lot.

 

[Kaiaa]

I'm pretty sure I posted in a thread just like this a few years ago lol anyway, I don't like wearing makeup daily. If I go out I'll sometimes put on eyeliner and mascara but that's about it. I only really put effort into my makeup when I'm going somewhere special.

I've never worn makeup before, and I don't really plan to anytime in the near future unless it's a subtle amount lol. I personally hate when people cake on makeup and look like a totally different person once their done.

I really like your attitude about makeup (I was actually thinking of a comment you made before editing that I thought was great). But yeah, I don't like that people have come to think that the way I look wearing makeup is really me. That's the main reason I want to stop - I'd rather that people accepted me for the way I really look and I'm tired of getting the "omg what happened to you" comments on days I don't have time to put makeup on. I have loads of respect for people who don't feel pressured to put goop on their face every morning.

I've been pressured into wearing makeup throughout my teenage years. I do think I look nice with mascara but I find that I look meh with everything else. I'm too scared to do eye liner properly. I can't get that close to my eyes. ;__;

I never wear makeup when I go out anywhere though, school and work included. I don't like having it on because I constantly touch my face and wearing makeup makes me feel like I can't without messing it up. Plus, I don't like having to take it off at the end of the day. I'm lazy. xP
The only time I wear it is during big events or parties. Otherwise, I'm makeupless. I generally think I look good enough to not bother.

I also put on tiny bits of concealer whenever I have acne to cover up the redness. I don't get acne that often so even that I use rarely now.

 

[Sanaki]

I don't wear it daily, because I don't go somewhere every day but I always wear it when I go out.

 

[AmenFashion]

I used to every day.
Since I started doing makeup professionally, I don't even care about myself anymore. All of my products are for my clients lol.

 

[Frostbitten]

All day, everyday for me. (Except when I'm sleeping).
I feel naked without it. I always go for the whipped/mousse-like base, as it looks and feels like it's not caked on your face.
Lipstick and lip stain are my addiction. I couldn't tell you how many I own; all I know is I have more than 20, haha..

 

[wassop]

for everyday - concealer if needed , powder , lip stain

 

[TheGreatBrain]

I always just put on a bit of powder to keep my skin from looking oily or shiny, but I just started a new job so now I wear a little bit of eyeliner and mascara.

Honestly, I hate when people think it's alright to ask someone why they look the way they do. For example, how you said some people can say "omg what happened to you" or even the "you look sick" comment I've heard people say many times. I think it's extremely rude. Like, what gives them the right to comment on how you look??? Okay, sorry my mini rant is over.

 

[The221Believer]

I do! I love the ways I can express my moods on different days with it. I have fandom-based looks, light and simple looks, the "i'm going to kick your butt" look...

Mostly it was a hassle until I tried some Urban Decay stuff, and their makeup is actually a pleasure to use. I love it. Their lipstick is super nice too--it feels like a balm, and it has great names like "F-Bomb" red and "Anarchy" pink. It appeals to me, haha.

 

[Astro Cake]

Not very often, I'm not all that familiar with the process of applying makeup. Also I figure wearing makeup a lot would irritate my acne.

 

[The221Believer]

I like how many times people in threads like this talk about how people with more makeup can look good, but then say they don't need it because they feel pretty enough without it. Nice backhanded compliment there.

Amen to this. Haha.

Makeup isn't always about making yourself look better; it's also just as much about self-expression, as much as clothing is. There's a weird culture of shaming on both sides around makeup, and it bothers me a lot that a lot of people have internalised this kind of idea that makeup is mostly for people who don't feel pretty without it. It's the whole "not like other girls" problem, that condemns other identities to feel special.

idk it just bugs me a lot haha

Also I forgot to mention the makeup I wear for cosplay~ you'd be surprised how much better photoshoots turn out if you've used light foundation and some mascara! Even if you crossplay! It's a staple of my Sherlock costume to do it.

 

[brutalitea]

I don't wear any makeup. I don't see the point of it.

 

[mitzi_crossing]

I used to be really into it and even collected cosmetics, and I also attended some beauty classes during high school so id say im pretty skilled at it. I still have my collection but dont really wear any on a regular basis anymore

 

[pippy1994]

I mostly just wear eyeliner and a bit of concealer.

 

[ReXyx3]

I wear makeup 24/7, I'm addicted. It's my daily ritual and it's just something I love to do. To me putting on makeup is an art form, I love trying out new styles, learning how to do certain looks and practicing until I perfect them. Whether I look better with or without doesn't really matter to me and I don't think my face is anyone else's business so why would I stop doing something that makes me happy just because others don't seem to agree with it. Do you and don't worry what others think, whether you wear makeup or not.

makeup is life
