Girls, do you like the way you look without make-up?

Question

If there was no such thing as make-up, what would you do naturally to enhance your features? What if all of a sudden, the make-up that you have been wearing for years was now forbidden, and you were forced to accept your natural beauty? How would you "stand out" or make yourself feel more feminine?

Answer 1

I would still be beautiful but look a little more tired because of the dark circles that run in my family. I don't depend on makeup to be beautiful but use it to enhance my appearance. My personality stands out regardless of what I put on the outside of my body.

Answer 2

Well I used to hate the way I looked without makeup because of all my acne and acne scarring. But recently, I MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE and when to my dermatoligst. She gave me Finacea to use for the acne AND the scarring. OMG, i have not even used this cream for a month yet and my acne scars have lightened SO MUCH! And that's just 3 weeks, imagine how clear my skin will be in a couple of months!! OMG I GET EXCITED JUST WRITING ABOUT IT!! :) AND MOISTURIZER IS THE KEY TO A HEALTHY FACE!!! Now, I don't even care that I;m not wearing makeup and recently I had to run to the store to pick up some milk for my mother and GUESS WHAT? I went with NO MAKEUP!!! for the first time EVER!!! and nothing happend- like i used to think "omg people are gonna look at me":----nope, i heeld my head high and it was great! my skin felt so light and fresh without all that makeup on.....i'm still a little skeptical going to school without no makeup- but I HAVE DEFINITELY LESSENED my daily makeup....now its just moisturizer, MEDIUM COVERAGE, and eyeliner.....before it used to be- A LOT OF FOUNDATION, concealer, powder, eyeliner, mascara, eyeshadow, blush, lipgloss----and then i realized i looked like a whore (pardon my language).....but I was like "I'm 16..I don't need makeup. I should go natural with no makeup." ANd eeveryday, my makeup is less and less (it had become an addiction and was really hard to lessen it, but i'm getting there and i'm happy to say i'm proud of myself. ALL IT TOOK WAS A DERMATOLIGIST TO HELP ME. SO ALL THOSE PEOPLE THERE WHO SUFFER FROM ACNE, PLEASE GO TO A DERMATOLIGIST! STOP TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO STOP YOUR ACNE BY YOURSELF!!

As for if there was no makeup, I'd be totally okay with that. Just keep a nice, white smile, get a lot of sleep, moisturize, occasionally use a mask, exfoliate 1-2 times a week and you are FINE!!! I would stand out my keeping my face clear of blemishes, keep my hair in really good condition, and have a great, white smile!!!

P.S. love this question--- got everything out! :)

Answer 3

Absolutely. I stopped wearing make-up when a student told me "Miss, you have no make up on today...You look very pretty. You don't need make up." I thought she was just being nice but then I checked in a mirror and she was right: I was expecting a dull, awful reflection but that was not the case. From that day on, no more make-up for me but plenty of water, fruit juice, milk and rest. I have a bright, white, shining smile and keep it that way. I do use lip balm and lip gloss. I have long, thick lashes and use a brush to keep them clean and keep my eyebrows neat and shapely. I use the products that work best for me in terms of soap, eye contour cream, day cream, night cream, mask and scrub. It's better to pay a little more for something that really works. And I do "stand out" even thought that was not the point of me saying goodbye to make-up.
I don't have to accept my natural beauty ... I am a natural beauty.

Answer 4

All I have ever really worn is eyeliner and a little lipstick for everyday. Although I took Makeup for the Stage classes in College, I personally like to see women with natural faces, or very little makeup. I think this look is best. If you wear a lot of makeup everyday, you have to keep up that look . Also extensive makeup use can really ruin your skin if you dont use it correctly, like going to sleep with it on everyday. I try new hairstyles, and since I wear glasses, I sometimes wear contacts.

Answer 5

In the summer when I have a little tan- for sure, but I always gotta have on lipstick and some powder. I do love make-up and usually wear it everyday. If there were no make-up then I would probably try to stand out with a funky hairdo.

Answer 6

I love the way i look without make up... i think the only reason i wear make up is to bring out certain features but i can deffenetly go out without it.. its not like make up is all girls are really made of.. theres other kind of beauty such as NATURAL... or beauty of who you are... i dont know... i love make up but it is not NECESSARY in my life..

Answer 7

I will be 61 this year and have rarely used make-up. I think the best thing a person can do is to live according to the health laws. Water, lots of fruits and veggies, exercise, do face exercises, DON'T SMOKE OR DRINK(makes a person age really fast), don't worry, be happy, and turn your troubles over to God. My daughter quit smoking and right away her skin looked more lovely. Keep a beautiful smile and people will not remember if you wore make up, they will remember your smile. Mmm

Answer 8

This is a really good question. The fact is that I do not where makeup, unless it's a special occasion. I make myself attractive by my attitude, my clothes, my beautiful body. To me, most girls who wear makeup look a lot worst than if they really showed their natural beautiful faces. Besides, who wants to wake up with their face stuck to the pillow??

Answer 9

well, i think my answer is Yes, but i would need to take care of my rough, sensitive skin. and also, i would like to solve nose pore problem.

i was put in the same situation with yours and i was so tired because of the dilemma, but now, i really think natural beauty is sooooo important cause ill be more worried about my skin in the future if i couldnt realize that and stop or wear light make-up.

Answer 10

I don't wear make up now, and that doesn't make me less feminine or less girly. It takes more than looks and makeup to stand out in a crowd for a long time.
