Answer 1

I don't thin I'm THAT dependent on make up. Yes I do use it almost every day, but I can leave the house without putting on make up, like I don't put make up to the gym, to a simple dinner if there isn't food in the house, to run down to the store to get some stuff, or any of those simple stuff. If I'm not going to be out for more than 2 or 3 hours, I don't usually apply make up, may be I might grab like a lip gloss or lip balm, but I skip the mascara, eye shadow and eye liner. Unless I'm going out to school, work or some fancy party/dinner, then I would apply a little further than just lip gloss.

I get what you're saying, the first time I met my boyfriend, I had make up on, it was at some party, so I dressed up a little, and my make up was much more than usual, and when he asked if I would like to go out again some time, I was afraid that I would need to put on as much make up, dress up as much for him. But that was 2 years ago, now, I'm really happy with him, he has seen me with and without make up, it doesn't bother him, nor does it bother me.

If you wear makup all the time, you do get pale and sick looking without it because your skin is just dying under all the gunk. Stop using it for six months and your skin will get its natural glow back, and you'll never have to hide your real beauty under a pile of artificial stuff again.

Be yourself and don't feel like you have to look like somebody else. The real face you have is great! But you have to let it recover from being mucked over for so long. That takes a little time, but then the real beauty that is in you will be obvious to everyone.

Hey, aww i used to share your pain,
I had self-esteem issues & acne, and i would never never go anywhere without make-up, Seriously, Even if i was walking the dog i would wear foundation, Mascara blush and gloss,...
I was really insecure so i never opened up or gave eye contact to guys,
Hunny, I think you need to sit back, and really think what you don't like about yourself, Work through those issues, as it seems to me that you have low self esteem , coz that is how i felt.
When people tell you, your beautiful, They mean it,
Next time someone says your beautiful, say thank-you!
Look in the mirror each day and tell yourself " i am beautiful" you need to boost your confidence, and remind yourself that you are beautiful with or without make up, Once you build your confidence you will find yourself more relaxed around guys,

I sometimes feel like that too and when I dont wear makeup I have these dark circles under my eyes. And if a good looking guy becomes uninterested in you after the makeup is off, then he's not worth your time. And I agree with kbug_13, you really need to learn how to type better.

OK, this is a good one since I'm a make-up expert. First off, you need to have a healthy approach to make up, dependency does make you look insecure. Keep in mind though, just as you would handle things in other aspects in your life make-up is no different. If you were having company over to your house wouldn't you want it to look it's best? Some nice drapes on your windows and nice furniture i.e. make-up for your house. If you were going on an interview, wouldn't you wear clothes that make you look professional, i.e. make-up for your body. And if you were to have a dinner party, wouldn't you want to have nice dishes to compliment your meal, i.e. make-up for your food. So you see, it's not a bad thing to present the only part of yourself that 100% of the world that you contact gets to see in a nice manner. Out of that 100% less than 1% of that world would ever get to see if you have a nice house, a nice car, you naked, you know personal stuff. I say always present yourself in a vibrant, colorful, full of life way. Anyone whose around you long enough to actually like you will not care if you have make-up on or not!

Try to keep it natural. I use only powder in my face and little bit of blush on earth color tone.. which is the best shade for my skin tone, don't use lipstick on daily basis i stick to chap stick, so that when I go out people see the big difference. I am toooooo tired then i use a lash curler to open up my eyes, but, no eyeshadow or eyeliner.

Answer 7

I used to be like that... just couldn't go out without makeup on. But it was making my complection bad and I hated that I didn't feel confident enough to go out without it on. So I went on a make up strike... I didn't allow myself to wear any make up, I used only natural colored nail polish... ect (maybe that was extream) and at first a couple people said, "Are you feeling okay? You look kinda pale." Which I had to just say, "Yeah, I'm fine." and just ignore. But after awhile I felt so liberated (and not as rushed to get out the door to go somewhere!) Now I wear make up occasionally and I feel GREAT when I wear it, cause I learned that it doesn't have to cover me, it just makes me stand out a little more.

PS... now the comments are, "Wow you look great today!" I'd rather get that occasionaly than the, "Do you feel alright?"

Answer 8

I rarely leave the house with makeup on in the morning. It sweats off from the humidity on the drive to work, and it's easier for me to put my makeup on once I get to work. I can easily stash a makeup bag with the essentials in my desk drawer. I only wear mascara, lipstick, and sometimes eyeshadow, so it's not a major catastrophe if I don't wear makeup at all.

Answer 9

I seldom wear make up because I take good care of my skin. Using good products such moisturizer, cleanser, night cream and eye cream will help out a lot. Also, eating fruits and vegatabes will give your skin a big boost.

Answer 10

I'm a little like that. i try not to use so much anymore. Or just use more natural colors hah. If a guy really likes you he wont give a damn if you wear it or not or what you look like with or without it.
