I can understand how you feel. It happened to me before, and I have to admit that I was so vain that time. But then I realized that it wasn't worth it. I don't want to be unrecognize by people just because I am not wearing makeup. So I keep it simple and it saves my time. Makeup is just like accessory, it's a mask.

Im not discouraging makeup but im encourage you to love yourself even without it. The main purpose of makeup is for enhancing your beauty and not changing your entire persona. Remember, if your confident then the makeup just becomes mainly an accessory. I use to be insecure when i was in grade school but i graduated from it and started to love myself. Now people comment about how good my skin is. You see, if you love yourself then you will begin to feel confident even those who criticize you and in the end they will realize how pretty you are. Its all on how you carry yourself. Start now, change the way you think. Its all in the mind. I hope i was able to help you out.

Hmmm I would probably say that I look different when I have makeup on. Do I feel more attractive? Yes, definitely. I prefer not to have makeup most of the time, though because I don't actually like the feel of having all that stuff on my face and I am lazy LOL. I do feel that I am more attractive in makeup, and makeup is supposed to enhance your looks, so it's kind of natural that you feel prettier with it on. I always have this thinking that people would think I am prettier when I have makeup on, but I guess you should just keep in mind that at the end of the day, when the makeup comes off, the people who still appreciate who you are without it are the ones that really matter.

I usually use just lipgloss & eyeshadow. I sometimes use foundation, but not alot. You should just wear eyeshadow & lipgloss because you can break out if you wear makeup all the time. Try washing your face with some Nutregena soap or something. I use that & it helps my skin look & feel good. I think you can find it at a Walmart. I hope I've helped you. :]

I think that a person is most attractive when they feel comfortable in their own skin. If you feel like you look pretty with makeup on, then I am sure you are! If you are not comfortable without makeup, the only thing that keeps you from being pretty is your confidence level. If you are not feeling confident,(whether or not you are wearing makeup), then it will definitely show on the outside. Whatever makes you feel pretty is most important.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder,as what a former beauty queen said.and i agree with that.so don't feel so pressured to look so attractive.because there are people who does not appreciate a painted face.just be happy and confident with yourself.anyway there is nothing wrong in putting make up but just remember in putting make up,do it to pamper yourself and boost your self esteem to make you feel good and not because you want to please other people.

I think I still look kind of attractive without make up but I would look more attractive to have make up on But I still like to draw the eyebrow and eyeliners in basic, can't go out without them!

A big part of someones 'attractiveness' is how social and confident they are. If it makes you feel good then you'll be more fun to hang around. Maybe if you get the same responses through positive thinking you wont even care for it anymore.

I think it's all a factor of how comfortable you are with yourself. I cover my zits if I have any and put on eyeliner and mascara - if that. I don't wear a whole lot of makeup. I feel like wearing too much makeup makes you look fake. Sure someone looks prettier with makeup far away, but when you get closer, you just see all sorts of stuff caked onto their face. I think my suggestion to you is to try and wear less makeup. Gradually reduce the amount of makeup that you wear. If you just stop wearing makeup you'll notice a big difference, but if you gradually wear less and less, there will be more of your beautiful natural self shining through and less powder and cream.

Besides ceremonious occassions,I dont't wear make up in dail life .There is a saying that don't judge a boo by its cover.Those who simply judge a persons' appearance is not a well-educated one.We should focus on our inner beauty instead. Every woman want to be more fascinating.We can use differnt methods.Those who have charming faces will get old sooner or later.While intelligence and personality will attract people around you permanently
