Why do most girls wear it in the first place? Some girls at my school who wear makeup don't even know how to put it on right, and it looks really sloppish, others put on too much, and others somehow have been wearing the stuff for years and the one day they come to school without it it's like "who the hell is that?!" type thing.....so my question is, does makeup really make girls look prettier or would they be as equally as pretty if they'd never started wearing it in the first place?

If applied correctly, it can make you look more beautiful, and not necessarily make you look different.
The whole point with make up is to accentuate your good features, and hide your "bad" features.
And, for school days, less is always more. I hate it when girls show up in school, or at work, with half a gallon of foundation, and eyeshadow and lipstick and neon colors. Use natural co lours, that is much more beautiful. Even just a bit of mascara can make a huge difference.
When I first started wearing make up my mum told me that the trick was to make it look like you weren't wearing any, which I think is true.
Also, people often feel they look better when wearing make up, and that feeling will show in their mannerism, making them look more beautiful and confident.

All women are beautiful, makeup only enhances your good points, of course you have to know how to use it and what applies to you and what does not. Also another rule is less is best.
The makeup myth is that it makes you look older than you really are. I have children both girls and my standing motto is: stop trying to look older when you are'nt, remember you will spend the rest of your life trying to look younger when you are no longer that.
I never used makeup until I was19, I never used more than was needed and always remembered to take if all off before going to sleep. Learn how to apply makeup with someone who knows and explains how to do it right. You will be surprised at how few things you really need and the best thing is that the explanation is custome made for you.
Another advantage to not using too much makeup is that you will always look good with very little, or none at all. Some guys are shocked at how different some girls look without the usual layering of excess makeup.

Its really up to the person. So girls need makeup and some girls dont. Each to his own. Makeup is just really something that is not important anyway. The girls who wear it will hopefully eventually learn how to put it on and the ones who dont will either start or just never take to it. Either way it doesnt matter. Once your out of school none of the things that mattered in school will matter anymore. Everything changes.

I believe girls in school & your age don't need make-up
and it's not pretty on young girls,it looks so cheap really!
If you start wearing it now,your skin will get dependent
upon it and you'll look bad without it. Wait until you get
older like in college because your skin needs to breathe
during the growing years. There are other things that can
help girls hide flaws & blemishes,so make up isn't really
needed. My Mom only let me wear lip close and face
powder when I was a teen.
I am so glad she did that.

ur right... i really think that makeup kind of "ruins" a girl's beauty after awhile..
at the same time it helps us look better. it's like a catch 22.. i'm sure years of wearing makeup and scrubbing it off ages the skin, and i would look way different if i hadn't have worn makeup for all these years!

I agree with two of the answerers. It's a confidence thing and both of them are pretty. Very pretty. It's a lot easier to tell who is prettier if you know them as people. If one is very obnoxious, she still is going to be pretty-just not as much as the sweet and caring one. It sounds cheesy, but most of the time people admire those who are pretty and nice, not those who are gorgeous and rude. Beauty on the inside vs. beauty on the outside.

If a person isn't wearing it right......they shouldn't be wearing it at all.
Some ppl wear just the right amount and it Does accentuate features on your face to stand out more. Eyes, lips..a lil color to their face ......it also helps to even out skin tones/blotches /redness....
Others can wear no makeup and look Naturally Beautiful~
Everyone is different*~

well i mean GOD made you how he wanted you and just putting make-up on because you think it makes you look preetier is just like someone taking a perfect picture that you worked hard on and painting all over it to fix the "errors" even though you thought it looked perfect so wats the point in wearing make-up . . . . . . . . . .unless you like hurting gods masterpiece then dont wear make-up

It depends on the amount you use, the secret to make-up is making it look like you aren't wearing any at all! Just use it to highlight your good features. Not cover them up!!!

make up ALWAYS adds color to the face....its like saying "what is preetier?? a drawing in pencil??or the same drawing but with paint?" make up often is helpful when tired or jus having an OFF day
