Do you wear make-up? Do you wear it daily?

When I was younger I wore eyeshadow, mascara, and lipstick everyday. Now I rarely wear even mascara. I can understand someone wanting to wear make-up to hide skin flaws, but daily when so many have beautiful complexions without make-up. Why do some feel they can't go out of the house without it?

I HATE makeup!!! I feel sooo nasty and greasy when I wear it. The only thing I can stand doing is covering blemishes, and wearing mascara on my top lashes... I ALWAYS have to have some sort of lip gloss or chapstick on, though, because I can't stand feeling my lips dry!

You don't need make-up with your natural beauty. I use Avon lip moisturizer for my lips. They say your lips become addicted to the moisture. If that is so, I am an addict, because I can't go without it. I have one in my purse, on my nightstand, on my living room bookcase, on my computer stand. I keep them handy.

I use vaseline on my lips, that's the only thing that's ever helped me. I have some in my purse so I can always have it with me.

I remember when I was in my 20's I worked with another gal in a restaurant, she wore make-up and I didn't. One very nice looking guy said that he prefered women with a natural look over those that fell into a palate of paint. I looked up at him and he winked and flashed me a dazzling smile. At that moment I felt like the most beautiful woman in the world.

I wear it daily, I wear it because my skins looks better with it on :) I wear foundation, and some mascara and eyeshadow (natural brownish colours) I never wear lipstick, I don't like the feel of it, I always end up licking it off lol

yeah it is hard to find a good foundation that does evertthing you want. I use a liquid one, and then put a powder over top to help it set. I also try and find one with SPF in it

I tried to use the kind that stays all day, but that felt odd, and dry. My daughter wears foundation and powder. I have never been one to wear it.

When they find a way for foundation to glide on smoothly and not look like it is painted on I may try it. I hate looking like I am "made-up"

I never wear make-up and I never have. I feel it covers up who I am. Plus I guess you could say I am lazy as I don't want to spend all that extra time making myself look pretty.

I don't need make-up to make me look or feel pretty. I wore it to an interview to look less tired. I never sleep well the day before an interview.

I do wear lip gloss, some with a little color, daily. Makeup I wear if I'm going out. I have really good skin so I don't feel the need to wear it unless I'm really 'dolling up'. The pic I have for my Avatar is me without makeup, other than my lip gloss.

Great picture. I went to an interview wearing mascara and a little blush. That is it for me.

My step-mom got me started with makeup when I was about 16. She showed me how to put on mascara and eyeshadow. I wore that for years. Then I went to a Mary Kay party and the lady said "Oh, you have such nice skin, what do you usually do to it?" And I said I wash it with Zest soap. I thought she was going to have a stroke! She showed me how I needed to use cleanser, toner, moisturizer, foundation, blush - I think that was it. I thought it was hilarious how she said I had great skin without all that and then tried to get me to use it all. Well, I did for about a week. That's just too much work for me and my face felt all gross all the time. Now I wear mascara, only to work, and that's if I remember.

A little mascara goes a long way.

I don't wear make-up. I believe that people should go natural if they can. I feel so weighed down with any make up. The most (if I HAVE to) is eyeshadow, some liner and mascara. Nothing else. I have a good complexion and don't want to make it bad. I don't like lipstick.

I used to have a peaches and cream complexion, but with age I have developed Rosecea (I think that is how you spell it). I have thought about using foundation to cover it up, but what the heck. I would end up with pimples because I have such fair skin.

When I stopped wearing eyeshadow, I wore mascara daily. Eventually I stopped that too.

I hate to wear makeup. the only time that I wear it is when we are going out to something special. Most of time we don't need it around here when we go mudding, atving, or jet skiing.

If I am going on a job interview I will wear mascara. My blue eyes appear brighter when I wear it.

In highschool I would wear it because I had really bad acne. As I got older I wore less and less. Ever since my husband and I got married I just stopped wearing make up cause he had stated that he loved me without it and wanted to see more of my natural beauty. Now I wear it oncein a while when I need a confidence boost.

For a company party we were attending I put on eyeshadow, blush and mascara. My husband laughed. He commented on the purple eyeshadow, and my big eyelashes.

I wear makeup every day. I will not leave the house without it. I feel naked and very uncomfortable without it. I wear light eyeshadow, eyeliner, foundation and mascara every day without fail.

If it picks you up and you feel better wearing it go for it. My sister wears make-up and when she doesn't have time to apply it, people ask her if she is feeling okay because she looks dragged out.

I tried eyeliner a couple of times, but it made my eyes water, itch and burn. I think I was allergic to it. My mother used liquid eyeliner and she looked goofy. I think it is overkill.

I will never forget this girl in High School that always wore sooooo much makeup. She was a beautiful girl, and she did her makeup really well, but everyone made fun of her makeup habits. One guy came to class and talked about how he was playing around with her and fake slapped her and he had like "an inch" of makeup on his sleeve. *he over exaggerated that one* But she still was very popular and very much wanted by the guys, they just didn't like the makeup. Then, there was another guy who stated he doesn't mind girls wearing makeup but he feels it doesn't bring out their true beauty. Awwwwww.. Anyways, to answer the question, I wear makeup when I got out on special ocassions but only blush, eyeshadow and mascre. No, I don't wear it daily, too time consuming! :)

I don't need blush, someone only has to flirt with me or tell an off color joke and I blush automatically. It is a gift that saves a lot of money for me! LOL

I do wear make-up. But, not that much. I wear eyeshadow, and lip gloss if that counts. I do not wear mascara or lipstick. Many people wear make-up when they are just beautiful the way they are!! :) But, I only wear make-up on school days. On the weekend, my face is naked! :O Haha.

Since I don't go outside of the house daily anymore, I don't wear makeup daily. But if I am going out or something I'll wear makeup, which usually is foundation (I have horrible pimpley/oily skin), eyeliner, & mascara sometimes eye shadow. Always lip gloss though...I wear this a lot.

I wear make up everyday for work. I wear some mascara and some light coloured lipstick or gloss. I dont like face covers like foundations and concealers for everyday use. I use that when I want to look a bit special like going out on weekends or special occasions. I would definitely go out of the house without make up

I leave home without makeup more often than I should =) I don't wear cover up or anything. The stuff makes me break out. But when I wear makeup I wear a little eyeliner, eyeshadow, and lipstick. I only wear it if I am in a good mood though. If I feel like... poop... I look like it too, I guess.

When I was a teenager I wore make up on most days but now as an adult I generally only put in on if we are going out somewhere . I wear mascara more then I would anything else .
