When you go out of the house, are you wearing make up or not? Or just by staying at home, do you wear make up? When I go out to work, I dont wear make up. I prefer not to because I want my natural beauty shines out. LOLS!!! But if there are ocassions to attend to or going to the mall with friends I wear make up but just a blush on and a lip gloss or lip balm. As simple as that. I know somebody who wears make up even at home, and not expecting visitors to come by. I don't really know why she's like that. But I saw her not wearing one and she looks old and not likely to look at. LOLs. So for me being balance of beauty is important that even without wearing make up, still looks beautiful and presentable. How about you girl? what's your stand? For the guys, which do you prefer for your girl or for a girl? Happy mylotting!!! Be happy and Beautiful!!!

When at home or going shopping, most times I don't wear makeup however when seeing family members that haven't been seen in a long time, a party (very rarely) or going out to dinner then yes I'll wear makeup. It all depends on my lupus flaring up which then I'll have to wear it all the time to cover up the sunscreen sticky feeling.

i personally do not own make-up. all i have in my dresser is a tub of lip balm that my sister gave me a few days ago, deodorant and 1 bottle of victoria's secret body spray. i don't even know how to put on make up. putting up lipstick is a no brainer but for the rest...especially the eye shadow, man! i am all thumbs!!! all that matters to me is that i look clean and presentable.

I don't wear make-up when I'm at home. Those days are the rest days of my skin from chemicals and stuff. When I go out, I don't always put make-up on, it just depends on where I'm going and/or what the occasion is. When I would just go to the mall, watch a movie have a meal with my friends, I only put powder, eye liner and a quick blush and lip balm. When it's a party I'm going to, I stay in front of the mirror for almost 30 minutes for make-up applying concealer and stuff.

When I go to party or going out with friends, I stay in front of the mirror picking the best clothes but I haven't stayed too long for putting on make up. LOLs... You're right that our face should have rest from chemicals. Thanks for sharing!!!

Well i however dont wear makeup all the time. Yes if i go out and do something sure i will but if its to go to the store and get some things no whats the point of putting makeup on just to go to the store. At home no i dont wear makeup. If i dont have a good reason to be wearing it then i dont wear it.

I put on my makeup every day. I dont know why but I just feel naked without it. I take it off in the evening and put it back on around dinner the next day. So I guess you could say I where it 1/2 of the time. I absolutely will not leave my house without it on. My husband likes to tell this story about the day I went into labor with our son. When I woke up that morning my water had broke and he freaked all the way out and wanted to rush me to the hospital but I made him wait While I put on my make up! He thought that was just the craziest thing in the world. So anyway I say its a must. I dont like to see scraggely folks with no makeup and sweats do you all?

You make me laugh! Well, I work in a hospital at the delivery room to be exact! I noticed that pregnant women in labor looks pale and look stressed of course they are suffering from labor pains and all. But I guess when you are my patient, you look still presentable until your baby comes out! LOLs... Thanks for sharing!!!

I only seldom wear makeup and thats if I feel like doing it, or if I have time. I feel that I don't need to wear it! If I am going somewhere nice with my hubby I might put a little powder and mascara on, but thats it! Too much makeup feels like your face is going to fall off! lol!! I went so long without wearing it, now when I put just a little on, it feels weird! I love to dress up and try different ideas, but usually nothing that I will wear out! My hubby really likes it when I wear makeup but not to try and cover things up, he says that I look completely different with makeup on! It's a compliment, but sometimes I just don't feel like putting it on! Having 3 kids, you don't get a lot of time to do anything, so my makeup usually comes last and if I don't get to it, then I don't! It's not a big deal if I don't wear, I think I look better without it.

Its true! Putting make up makes me feel different too. Sometimes I feel that my face is too thick and heavy. LOLs!!! And sometimes I look diffent too. Well, having a family has to set priorities. Being natural is a true beauty!

There are some times when I will leave the house without my make-up on. I have gone to some church functions without make up. I have even gone out with my boyfriend without make-up like when we have gone hiking in the summer. I went to camp with-out make-up because well who am I trying to impress at a church camp when I am the cabin director?

I don't wear makeup when I'm home, but I usually would put them on when I have to go out. I feel bare and incomplete without my "war paint" on to face the day..so to speak..LOL. I do avoid putting makeup on when I'm home. I usually used it as a time to allow my skin to breathe and be natural. However, since I'm not blessed with great skin or great looks, I feel I need my makeup on when I go out in public. Plus when I look nice and pretty, its a great confident booster.

When I was younger, I wore makeup on a daily basis. It didn't matter if I was going to leave the house or not, it just made me feel that I looked better. It's been a loooong time since I've worn makeup. I just don't feel right in it anymore. The most I put on is lip gloss. I figure if people don't like what they see, they can simply look away. ;)

When I was in High school, I wore make up too. But when I reached college, I'm not too conscious about the way I look. Well, I guess its part of growing up! LOLs.. Thanks for sharing mylinnslynn!

I prefer to have a little makeup on when I go out. Some mascara and a bit of powder and lipgloss perhaps. I do not need the whole shibang all the time. I think I look alot nicer with some on then without it, especially in the wintertime when I am paler.

I prefer girls with light or no make up. It looks more natural and pleasant. Those with heavy makeup somehow, will look terrible since their skin will have some 'damages' done by those makeups. I know a girl who put on heavy makeup, and there were few times when they came into the office without any makeup. Most colleagues thought she's a new joiner. And there are also female friends who don't wear make up even though they're quite normal-looking. To me, they do look more pleasant than those with heavy makeup.

Girls are more beautiful with their natural beauty on -- no make-ups needed.. I feel make-ups hide a girl's true beauty. =)

I agree to that! Well, at some point also make-up enhances the true beauty of a lady but some, they hide something underneath their make-up Thanks for sharing!!!!

I generally go without make-up. If I am going out for a date with my hubby I put it on. But I work from home, so it isn't an issue.If I feel I need a little pick me up I might splurge. A little mascara in the right place can do wonders.

It depends on where I'm heading to. Usually I put on a little makeup when I go to the mall or to the grocery. if I'm just going to drop off something at a friend's house or if I'm visiting relatives then I'll go au naturale. Makeup prevents my skin from breathing so as soon as I get home, I take everything off! I need it to look prettier though because I don't have perfect skin- YET. :)

Yet?! What do you mean? LOLS... I'm just curious but if you don't want to answer my question, its ok! I wash my face as soon as I got home from work. With or without make up because of the dust acquired outside the home.

I don't wear makeup because the moment I do I get ugly breakouts on my face. Even if it says hypoallergenic, it won't do. I'm allergic to makeup. It's a good thing I don't usually attend a lot of formal parties or evening functions where you have to be all made up.

I have a friend who is also allergic to make ups even powder. So whenever we attend parties, she wears make up but she's a little uncomfrotable. And she slowly removed the make up as the time goes by.

At home, work or even malling I don't wear make up at all. My husband prefer that I don't wear make up. I hate make up even my boss keep on telling me that at least I have to wear even a simple make up but I just ignore him. I know one also that even at home she wears make up and when I saw her not wearing one I told myself "YUCKS! She is so ugly."
