Yuck! Makeup!

The thing is you can wear a lot of makeup and not look unnatural... it's all about technique

Then they're fine with me. If they don't look like their face is 5 shades off from the rest of their skin, every freckle on their face that you know is there is TOTALLY gone due to the 5 shades off thing and you can see the lines of makeup piles from their facial movements, they're fine with me.

it seems funny to apply makeup to look natural... but thats just me

I wear makeup because it enhances beauty. I dont cake it on, the point is to make it look natural.

Of course the point is to look natural and to enhance one's beauty.  Instead everyone here has chosen to moan about girls who don't know how to apply make-up and/or match tones to theirs. Stop complaining and go teach these girls proper techniques.

I hate when girls don't use make-up because they are lazy and don't care about them selfs and I find it to be lack of confidance because they are scared of atention they might get.
No, not realy. I don't give a penny what someone else is doing-not doing to his/hers face... But fast judgements do make me wanna say Yuck! (and those judgments allways say more about the judge, then they say about those who have been judged )

You cant just say "oh, be proud of youre self" when there is nothing to be proud of.
And i know im hiddious, and everyone else seems to feel the same about me.

you are not hideous! Get that out of your head please.  Yes wear makeup  to give you confidence. The scars will fade over time make up is here for a reason,

We are always our worse critics.  If I put on 10 pounds  ifeel like a cow and everybody is looking at me; yet I do not jussdge  people that are over weight.  I covered my freckles for years cause I thought they were ugly, every body else thought they wer cute or prety etc.  even my curly hair I hated and straightened every day till I finally decided to embrace who I am but I still wear make up to blend these darn freckles!

I wear quite a lot of makeup... largely because my face unmade up tends towards the "aww, cute" and the way I want to look it a bit more "Eee gads, a monster"... if I could I'd probably choose to look like dee snyder... though if given the choice between looking like him and a young bowie, I'd choose bowie.

As to evening out the skin tone, I have excellent skin, but I wear foundation as it helps everything else stick better.

If I ever break up with my boyfriend, you two should get together.

Yeah, and you were how old then,  11?

I wear make-up because I enjoy putting it on....... dunno why but I could spend hours just because its kinda calming!!

You're all for self confidence, and makeup makes some people feel confident, so why shoot it down like that? ( saying that in the nicest sense). Like some have said before, it's no different to changing clothing and acessories every day , or how you wear your hair that day.

I like wearing makeup for work but only minimal outside of work. Its a personal choice thing.
