For the ladies or men? about putting on make up?

Question

Ladies have u ever like regretted wearing make-up ? i started wearing make up since i was 17 and never stoped using it ever since.. i mean people are now or recognise to my make up face so now after 8 years i donoe why i feel like putting on makeup is so troublesome.like time consuming.. i like to just bare my natural face ..

seriously if i were to just not wear any make up i will totaly look different. people will not recognise me.. im also somehow feel worried if someone who used to think im pretty just totally change their opinion and would not like me esp the guys..

i'm looking for someone who actually would love me without make up but i find it hard to find ..

what u think should i just one day come to work or meet people n scrapped all the makeup??

Answer 1

There is nothing wrong with wearing make up as long as u dont cake it on. Maybe u should go to work a few days without it on....just to let ppl get a good look at the real u...then if u really cant live without it...just try something natural, like just some light eyeliner, dont put it on heavy and one coat of mascara. Thats usually what i wear. Dont wear cover up, or blush or heavy lipstick, if anything, clear gloss, or lipstick, dab your lips on a tissue and then apply gloss and lightly dab again....gives a great look.

Answer 2

I've worked as a make up artist for 3 years before changing career paths and the postiive attributes of make up is highly under rated by most women, and even men. I wear make up daily, the reason being it makes me feel more confident and I know how to wear it and what suits me thus making me more attractive. For the day keep it natural. If you have to use foundation then invest in a g ood quality one, if you don't need it then don't bother with it, just use a tinted moisturiser, that will give you a lovely glow. On the apples of your cheeks use a blush that suits you, as lightly or heavy as you want depending on your personal style. It adds so much to your complexion, it lists your face and is a definate youth installer! Your eyebrows also play a big part in framing your face, so keep them in shape, even if it's just plucking a few hairs from the underbrow - don't over do! You may even want to use an eyebrow pencil to fill them in lightly, or eloungate them, again beautifully framing your face, and highliting your eyes and bone structure. Depending on your colouring but brown mascara and eyeliner is normally best for every colouring. A neat line on the top lid of your eye to eloungate your eyes, perhaps if even a small flick off of the corner, very cute. Put a few coats of mascara on the top. Very carefully though, if you do the bottom lid keep it light or just smudge a little eyeliner (liquid i find is best) to give you a little definition. Light and neutrel tones of lipsticks are optional ofcourse but lipgloss after a certain age becomes quite unsophisticated, although a light dab is still possible to pull off. I hope this helped, if you have any questions about anything or just fancy a chat then just send me an email.
Most important of all is a smile. Women can acheive anything with a smile ;)

I did the same thing. I always wore make up, then I started working at a camp. I had NO time to put on make up-this was a difficult transition for me, as I always wore thick black eyeliner and dark lipstick, kinda Anna Nicole/Marilyn Monroe styled. I also used to do my hair all the time too, but the sprays and products in my hair, acutally attracted bugs that bit me! I stopped wearing junk in my hair and stopped wearing makeup. I noticed, almost no one else wore makeup, so it made me feel better about going makeupless, cold turkey. Everyone was all nature, hippie anyway.

Maybe you can take less drastic measures and start out wearing less or lighter colors. Try just a little foundation, powder, brush on a little blush, put on some eyeliner and mascara and a little lipgloss and done. Sounds like the same, but it wont be.

If you worry about ppl not liking you for your new look, then what kind of 'friends' are they anyway. You gotta not worry about other's opinions.

Answer 4

I RARELY wear make-up and I am in my 30's. I hate the time that it takes to put on. The only time i wear it is special occasions or if i am feeling really bad but still need to be at work. when i DO wear it, i know that i look completely different and people do notice, but, i am more comfortable without it....

try starting out with a day on the weekend and go without it...slowly add another day here and there...people will be fine with it

Answer 5

Well I'm in my late 20's and believe it or not, I'm really self conscious about wearing make-up. I probably have over $300 worth of make-up and I buy it all the time, but rarely wear it because of what people might say since they are so used to seeing me without it.

When I was in high school, there were girls who wore it all the time and when they would come to school without make-up on (like if they woke up late) I would be like DAMN!! They just looked weird and really bad to me. I would say just start by lessining what you wear until you feel comfortable enough to go bare. And who cares what others think...It's about what you think and how you feel that matters.

Answer 6

Just stick to the bare essentials unless your going somewhere special :) Day to day I just wear a little eyeliner under my lower lashline and a coat of mascara, its just enough to make you look awake and gives the rest of your face a chance to breathe whilst still looking nice.

Save drastic makeup or more intense makeup for special occasions, it will save you a lot of time, and money cause you dont have to fork out on as much.

Answer 7

I dont think you should worry about it too much because although you look different without make-up, it doesnt mean your unattractive. In fact most guys prefer a more natural look and it will be less time-consuming for you!Maybe gradually try using a bit less, so its not such a shock to you when you take your make-up off!

Answer 8

Little by little just start putting less and less make-up on. It will be a gradual process so it won't be such a shock to the people around you. And it won't draw unwanted attention to yourself all at once like that. Sure, someone is gonna start asking what is different about you...just say...I'm not sure what you mean. Eventually they will be used to it. Be comfortable with who you are, whether you wear make-up or not. I don't wear make-up as often as I used to. People eventually just got used to it. I, one day, started peeling the layers...so to speak, and wore less. And as they say.....less is more. More appealing than a caked on face. Good luck.

Answer 9

start slow.. if you wear a lot of makeup now then start phasing out some of the stuff and go for a more natural look. then once you're comfortable with that then you can just start eliminating makeup altogether.

i put on a little bit of makeup for a very natural look but if i were to go out without it then no one would really notice a big difference.

Answer 10

im the same as you.. i first started puttin makeup on when i was in high school, now its got to the point where, i wear it to go round the corner to the shops! i can't meet anyone new without it on and i just feel bare without it! i think you should just go 1 day not wearin makeup.. i mean what have you got to lose some1 might notice you.
