Can you walk in public without any make-up on?

Rather I'm in public or anywhere, I am comfortable with who I am. I know there are a few ladies out there that can't go anywhere without having any make-up because they feel that they're not pretty enough to be natural. Also, there are some ladies that puts really dark make-up on and when they don't have any on, they look really pale and feel they might get a bad comment or statement from someone. I'll say just be yourself and don't worry so much what others have to say about you.

Make up is not a very important part of my life. However I will try my best to wash my face before going out. especially if its oily or dirty.

oh, yes, i do get out even without make-up on. i love to wear make-up, but it really isn't what makes a woman a woman. what do you think?
• United States
15 Nov 06
Well... it is a woman thing but sometime I think about it... It's like halloween everyday but not scary looking. lolz... Know what I mean? It's like you got to have a mask over your face just to cover your beauty but why? Everyone is different when it comes to makeup or anything. People have their own ways of thinking and doing things.

I do go out without any makeup sometimes. When I do wear makeup, it's pretty minimal anyway. Just some eyeliner, maybe concealer, tinted moisturizer on the lips, and perhaps shadow if I'm feelin' fancy. LOL. Especially here in the Pacific Northwest, I feel very comfortable without it. It is very crunchy around here. :) A lot of folks with no makeup. I generally will still throw on a little eyeliner, but I am fine without it.

Wow... nice to know that. Where I'm at at the moment, ladies here would wear tons of makeup and sometimes I feel like their face is about to face off. They just over do it and it's not a pretty site.

ignoring the simple fact that i dont know how to put make up on, it's maybe because i am not actually interested to paint my face. i would probably end up looking like the the lady in front of me! i hope she looks better than me. look at women who go to beauty parlors and have their make ups done there, i promise u, when they walk out of the parlor, u'll be surprised, they would all look the same..
• United States

I'm not surprise at all.. I've seen them and it's not pretty at all... "Look what makeup can do to us." lolz....

yeah... it doesn't really matter who looks your way. You are who you are and no one shouldn't be judging you anyways. Only you can judge yourself.

I walk around without makeup on more than I do with it on. I guess I'm just not as self concious as some people.

I rarely put make-up on. It's just not that important to me, I guess. :)

There are much more important things to focus on than make-up. Keeping it real. :)

I do it all the time. After I had my third child I really pared down on my routine. I do wear tinted moisturizer an dsometimes some baby powder to control shine. A lot of make up for me is adding bronzer, mascara, and gloss to the above stuff.

Yes of course. I can go to places without wearing any make-ups. Being natural is beautiful.

That's right... Natural is beautiful. That's what my man always tell me. hehe...

Yes I can even though I do like my make up but I only wear a bit anyway
• United States

yeah... most girls like light make up but most of my friends that have very light makeup BUT BUT... it'll be layers of layers. It's surprising to learn how much make-up they can put up but you can't really tell. Unless they tell you or you were.

i go out all the time without make up on, it doesn't hurt my feelings. if someone wants to get to know me, at least they know the real me, not someone who has caked on makeup. however, i will put on make up for special occasions, or if i just want to feel pretty :)
• United States
15 Nov 06
awww... I feel you. When I really want to make myself feel pretty because I don't have anyone to tell me that I'm pretty, I'll put on makeup,just to look good and feel pretty. lolz....
