Do you wear makeup?

Post Reply New Topic

No, I almost never wear makeup.

I've always resented the idea that I as a woman was supposed to spend a lot of time and money fussing around with my appearance, as if I had nothing better to do.

I almost never wear any. It doesn't suit my clothes or appearance, and I find that prettying myself up with it takes too much of my time.

I almost always put on makeup, yes. It's very rare for me not to wear any, even if I'm not doing much that day.

No. Too irritating on my skin.

Just lightly on the eyes and brows, so they don't look washed out behind my glasses.

Yes I do wear make-up, but not while travelling so I haven't wore any since 7 months which is my absolute record since I started 10 years ago

Sometimes, however I find it can irritate my skin a little.

No. Makeup is gross.

I do when I feel like it, but I didn't start wearing until I was 18 since I was blessed to grow up with a mom who is very down-to-earth and doesn't wear anything but lipstick herself. The reason I started wearing makeup was I discovered a woman on YouTube who would occasionally do makeup videos (in addition to other content) and something about the brushes made me so enthralled that I started wearing makeup haha. Still, I only wear the bare minimum and it's on my terms of what I personally feel looks cute. I touch my face and rub my eyes all the time so it has to be makeup that I don't mind wearing off.

Not since my acne cleared up. Nowadays I'll only wear mascara for really special events, and that's only because my eyelashes are so light that they're practically invisible without. I do colour my eyebrows every two months or so for the same reason. If my eyelashes and eyebrows were naturally darker, I wouldn't bother with any of it.

I usually use:

Moisturizer
Lip gloss
Light neutral eyeshadow and now that it’s summer a little bit of light matte bronzer on my cheekbones

When I feel extra I do thick black eyeliner, shimmer eyeshadow, glitter and dark matte lipstick.

Skincare is vital if you like to wear a lot of makeup. I use exfoliating gel face wash, moisturizer every morning and every night, a charcoal bubble sheet mask, a dewy skin sheet mask etc...

Nope, never and have no intention to ever do so.

I use moisturizer creams but that's because I have very dry skin.

Used to, now not so much since it does not agree well with my skin.

Nope. I hate the feeling of anything on my skin. I know I should wear sunscreen, but can't stand that, either.

Only on extremely rare occasions! I can constantly feel it upon my skin when I do.
Fortunately I've almost always had very clear skin, I tried to wear it more when I was younger, I think more because I felt I probably should and was interested in vintage style, but I was never very at ease in it.
I remember having to have my make up done when I was a bridesmaid at about 21, I think about the only time I've ever worn a full face of make up, it looked very glam but I hated it! I think I've just never been that interested in it also.
