I used to wear makeup all the time.. i wouldnt check the mail without it. Now I don't wear it AT ALL. my boyfriend made me realize im mpore beautiful with out it, becuase its the real me he sees. How do you feel... do you agree or disagree.. just wondering.
males: Would you rather be with a girl who wears make up... or do you believe make up is hiding thier natural beauty. What im asking is do you prefer make up or no make up?
Females: do you wear makeup? If yes, have you ever gone wthout wearing it for a period of time...did you feel more or less confident?If you wear make up and have never tried going with out it for a length of time, would you try it... if so email me and let me know how it made you feel.. daydreamin_ashley@yahoo.com

I wear makeup to work and some family functions. I very rarely go out with friends, but when I do, I usually wear it. Around home, going to the grocery store, that kinda stuff, I don't really care what people think. It's great that your boyfriend has instilled the confidence in you that you don't have to wear makeup everywhere you go. If the rest of your relationship is like that, stick with him.

As a guy, 1) I dont wear make up at all and 2) the more natural beauty you and the more compliments you get without makeup should elevate your confidence. Makeup adds color and hides blemishes like pores and stuff. A comment by a 6 yr old girl never fades my mind. Talking about lying about age and she tells her grandma that is just foundation that you put on to cover the wrinkles so you can lie about your age! LOL
But true trying to look young when you can is great. Trying to look older when you are young is not good either.

Hi. Well, I usually don't wear makeup, I think that makeup can make you look pretty but when you use it on special occasions, I guess that wearing it everyday makes you lose your natural side, some people wear it just to feel good about themselves and that's not right. So I'd have to agree with your boyfriend, you shouldn't be hiding from yourself.

I wear makeup and have gone without it before also, and to be honest with you it made me feel more confident that I actually liked how I looked without it (makeup) MORE!....it feels good to know you dont have to wear makeup, and your only wearing it to enhance the beauty not make it. Diamonds are beautiful in it itself but look that more striking when polished to a shine!

I do wear makeup, occasionally. When I go to work (I'm a receptionist at a social service agency), I usually don't wear makeup--I'm not really trying to impress the homeless folks, you know?! But I do feel less confident about it. And I congratulate you for having your boyfriend show you your true beauty! Wish we all had BFs like that.... :)

I think it's a personal decision. In high school I use to wear a lot of makeup, now I just use base, mascarra, blush and powder. When I put on "my face" in HS it would take me upwards of 30 minutes, now it takes me five. I wear light makeup to work at my professional job. If I'm just bumming at home, I wear no makeup. If I'm going out for the night, I have fun with my makeup, just to look good and have fun. My fiance has never commented on my looks one way or the other when it comes to what makeup does for me. I know I look better with makeup on, but I don't think I look BAD without makeup on.
I think your man is sweet in saying that you're beautiful without it on. I always kinda just use makeup as my secret weapon. I'm a pretty girl and I look just fine without makeup on, but I have something of a "WOW" factor when I make myself up for a night out. ;o)
Any guy who thinks there girl should have makeup on 24/7 should try the pain of it himself. ;oD Have a good one.

Well thats great that you have a boyfriend like that, and thats great that you dotn wear it so much, but you have to feel comfortable in your own skin, if u feel better wear makeup, i do wear some everyday but i could go out without it and soemtimes if i am just hanging out i wont put it on, its better for your skin

i think that's wonderful you've found someone who cares for the real you.. i think women tend to get too obsessed with what society tells us we should be than who we really are..
i don't see anything wrong with wearing makeup, i've gone without it for periods of time. i enjoy makeup, but my life doesn't depend on it (my mother-in-law is one of those people who can't leave the house w/out her face on, takes her hours to do arggg..)
i tend to wear my make up light, concentrating on my eyes because they're my favorite feature.. it takes me about 10-15 minutes to do my full routine. i have gone weeks w/out makeup and it's no big deal...

i am a girl, and i do wear some makeup. i normaly wear a cover up which gives me confidence because it covers up any blemishes. if i am just hanging with my friends at my house i will only wear cover up, but if i go out i may wear mascara and a suttle eye shadow.

I wear makeup sometimes. I don't feel I need it in my everyday life. I love it, don't get me wrong. I have tons of makeup products and love wearing it, but my existence doen't depend on it.
