Makeup

Post Reply New Topic

If I'm going somewhere, I'll put on eyeliner, mascara and lipgloss. I may put on concealer/foundation pending on how my skin is looking.

Oh, and I never wear foundation...gross! I can't stand how it looks on my skin. I also hate how it rubs off on clothing.

I rarely wear lipstick because after it dries up, your lips are left with this powdery residue caked on them. I prefer lip glosses because they at least leave your lips moist and don't leave behind a trace.

I don't own any makeup and wouldn't know how to apply it properly if I did. I have kind of a masculine face, and in makeup I would feel like the guys in Monty Python when they dress up like women.

Right now, a very light, shimmery, eyeshadow, black mascara and grey kohl and pale orange lip gloss.

I hate not wearing any make up at all because people say I actually look natural and clean. I'd rather look beautiful and made up.

I don't really like wearing make-up all that much. Truthfully I think it looks silly on me and I don't understand why people say it looks good (on me or anyone else). I've found that if I put on some lotion and chapstick/lip gloss, then I can fool most people into thinking I'm wearing something. Maybe I'll change my tune when I get older and start getting wrinkles, but at least right now it's not so feasible for me.

Sometimes, but it can be annoying and I resent the notion people have of if I wear makeup, that will for some reason boost my self esteem. I think often the girls with the most cakeup have the lowest self esteem. And yes I meant to say "cakeup".

I rarely wear any makeup at all, and when I do, it's concealer. I apply it on any spots or red areas I might have and also under my eyes and on my eyelids where I sometimes get dark shadows. Sometimes I will curl my eyelashes, since they are very straight, and it makes my eyes look more open. I only do this when it is important I look bright and alert - job interviews, conferences, going out, etc. And this doesn't happen often! When I lived in the UK, I would get very, very pale in the winter to the point where I would start to look almost green - so on occasion there I would wear the faintest whisper of pale pink powder blush, which kept me from looking like a walking corpse. The only other thing I use is chapstick, and that is purely practical, nothing to do with aesthetics.

Any other make-up, however, freaks me out. I despise the feeling of foundation: it makes my skin crawl. Mascara freaks me out and makes my eyelids itch even though I'm not allergic (it's psychological), and eyeshadows and eyeliners look beyond ridiculous on me. I have red-pigmented lips naturally, and they are quite full, so when I put on lipstick it is very noticeable and even distracting, so I simply don't do it. Ever.

I will admit, however, that I see a dermatologist about my skin, and apply a number of creams and serums to maintain a clear and healthy complexion. It isn't make-up, exactly, but it is a vanity thing. My personality changes perceptibly for the worse when my skin looks shoddy, so I put some time and money into ensuring that it stays nice.

I personally resent the idea that you have to wear make-up in order to be attractive or to be considered feminine, worse still is that if you don't wear make-up to a job interview more often you will be marked down for not taking care of yourself.

I find it annoying that rubbish make-up is fashionable now - caked on, round rosy blusher, clumpy mascara, mascara on the bottom lashes, lip-liner a totally different colour to your lipstick...never hear of natural-look or less is more??

AND why do they keep coming out with make-up that's closer to painting and decorating supplies?! For example L'Oréal's True Match Roller...who honestly thought women would want to use a mini-paint roller to apply make-up, granted it worked as they obviously sell despite obvious design flaw, but this along with the fashion of using a primer...make-up counters are more like a visit to B&Q.

I wear a little concealer when needed, loose mineral powder, eye shadow and sometimes mascara...but I normally dye my lashes instead, I also tint my lips as I'm allergic to most lipsticks anyway (don't get me started on the horrific ingredients in most make-up), and I'm useless with fancy make-up techniques. Can't stand heavy make-up, it drove me mental when I was modelling because to me liquid foundations are just repulsive and make you feel like your skin can't breath, I also think I look worse the more make-up I wear.

i wear t on my day(s) off... i can not wear it on thr job, so i have fun pretending i am someone else.
