Do you think that girls should wear make-up?

Question

I think that natural beauty is best and that make-up is only worn because of the media and insecurities. The media shows girls how they "should" look so they copy it. Am I crazy in thinking that the world would be better if no one wore make-up and had to strive for unrealistic beaty? Or am I just some wacko who is going against the norm and should be corrected?

Answer 1

I've never been one to wear a lot of make-up and I often receive compliments from both men and women because of it. I feel that my face looks washed out w/o any make-up so usually I try to leave the house with a little eyeliner, blush and eye shadow (pretty lightly) and lipstick just a couple of shades darker than my actual lip color.
Many people think I don't wear any make-up at all because it's so subtle.
But I think it's just a matter of personal taste.
A friend of a friend of mine, I just don't understand how she applies her make-up. Whenever I see her I'm always taken aback because she wears very bright eye shadow and her blush looks like she just puts 2 big red spots on the sides of her face! I mean, it's HER face to do what she wants, but I can't understand how anyone looks at themselves in the mirror looking like a clown and thinks "my face looks better like THIS than W/O any make-up at all".
But to each her own, you know?
I just remember YEARS ago on tv (could have been on Oprah) that someone was giving make-up tips and they said that your everyday make-up should be unnoticeable, meaning that it should only accentuate your natural features, others shouldn't be noticing what colors you have on your face.

Answer 2

A little bit of makeup usually always helps. I am one of those fortunate people who doesn't need hardly anything. Some light touches of color and I'm done. My sister realllllly should put in some effort but doesn't, and looks like she just got run over by a truck, her face texture is so uneven.

Answer 3

Yes they should. Makeup should enhance your beauty and it does if it is done properly. Women who were too much makeup look worse. Those are probably the ones that you are referring to. Makeup should make you look like you have flawless skin, naturally rosy cheeks, naturally long thick lashes, and healthy lips. If a woman looks "made up" then it is too much. In that case, I agree with you.

Answer 4

Not everyday but some times. At a certain age as well. Some people let the kids were it to early.

Answer 5

I like women without make-up.
