Can you go out even without wearing any make up?

I can. I never wore make back in college. I was perfectly okay with my face free from make-up. But when I started working, our boss required us to wear minimal make-up and I got used to it. Sometimes I can't go out without any make up on, but a few days ago, I went out without any make up on. How about you?

Yes, I can! It does depend on my mood though and where I'm going. I don't feel like I need to put makeup on to run visit family or run errands around town. I don't wear makeup on the weekends and hanging around the house. For work, I use very little. I've been using the mineral makeup for the last couple of years and I love it. It looks so natural that you hardly can tell you have makeup on! I don't think I could ever get in a routine of having to apply a lot of makeup and taking 30 or more minutes putting my face on. For me it is quick and simple application and a natural look.

I really like it. If you can't get the exact shade you need, you can always blend in some "warmth" to make the lighter foundation darker. Try Ebay for the best prices. You can even find some samples there to play around with. I do recommend a set of good brushes though! They make all the difference in application.

hi Karen, I don't use make up on the weekends too, but I have to put on some make up at work. I think I'll try your mineral make up. I prefer a natural look.

Yes of course....been without make up for years and the only make up I put is face powder and lipstick or lip gloss. My husband says I look fine without make up or with just minimal make up so be it. This is one side of my expenditure which I save a lot....

hi eagle, Good for you, if you look fine without make up then there's no need to put some. Make up is actually for people with something to hide such as freckles, pimples and the like. I mean, if you have a great skin, why use make up?

I love makeup, but I don't find it necessary to wear all the time. I actually probably go out in public without makeup more than I do with makeup. I love trying new make up and having fun with it, but nowadays I tend to just wear it more for special occassions.

kel1483, You're one of the few women who can actually go out in public without make up on. I know some women who wouldn't dare go out without wearing any. Putting on heavy make up is their way of covering some skin flaws.

Yes, I can go out without make-up on and I've done it many times, but I do like putting moisturizer on my face. Occasionally I wear make-up when going out, specially if I'm in the good mood.

Hi Cjay, It's good to know you can go out without make up on. Don't forget to put on your moisturizer when you go out though. It is still best to protect our skin from UV-rays.

I can go out without full make up on. but not without moisturizer. I always put on a moisturizer and a loose powder when i go out if i dont feel like putting a make up. Sometimes it feels more clean and fresh without make up.

Hi annalapse, I feel the same way too. Sometimes, I prefer if my face is free of make up as I feel more fresh and clean. Don't go out without applying moisturizer, though.

yes i can also go out without makeup specially that hubby doesn't want me to wear much . But if you wanted to do a quickie, i'm just okey to prefer lipgloss and face powder..

hi strawberrychocodahi, If you have a great skin, using lipgloss and face powder would suffice. My friend has a great skin and she looks better with minimal make-up than with heavy make-up.

I rarely (if ever) go out without makeup. My skin doesn't look all that great so I've always felt as though I needed it.

Oh yes, I guess I still can. It actually depends on where I'm going, or what the occasion would be. On little errands, going to the grocery, etc., I could easily step out of the house without make up. But when it's a planned thing, when hubby and I have some place to go, I do wear make up. I even make sure to bring my make up kit with me!

yup. I can and still do. But of course i do put on the minimum of at least moisturizer. This is to protect my skin from the UV-rays and the likes. But according to my mum and occasionally my dad, i look better if i put on make up. I don't look so pale and tired. So, i do put in the effort to put on the bare minimums of foundation, blusher and some colour here and there.

Hi regal_aeros, Yes puting on moisturizer would protect our skin from the UV-rays. I'm careful not to go out without puting on moisturizer. I can't do without blusher and a lipgloss.

I used to go out without make up, but now I apply make up everday for work and feel unconfortable if I am not wearing some make up. I got used to it and i feel empty without it especially eye liner, i love it.

I can go out without a make up, i know my skin is ok, and i like fresh looking face too, but this time, we have to put protection on our face because of the sun, so i always wear sunscreen plus moisturizer and lipbalm for my lips. My boyfriend told me that he dont like me wearing heavy make up at all, he likes me having a natural skin. Because i work, and theres a lot of stress, i put eyeliners so my eyes will look a bit lovelier, not tired. I dont wear lipstick at all, but i do use chapstick lip balm, nivea or vaseline. Most of my make up have sun screen protection too in it., usually spf 15.

I enjoy walking out into the sun bare-faced. I like it when there's nothing blocking my skin from breathing.

makeup - makeup can make you look better
In fact I seldom wear makeup. Most of the time I just go out without any makeup. It is very common for me. And wearing makeup is very special for me and I do it in some occasions only. I love China

Makeup is so over rated, people think they need it to look better, but i do not believe that. I guess there is those people that may need a little, but then there are those who cake it on so thick that they look fake or just plain silly. I do have makeup, but do I wear it, very very seldom. maybe to an even or something, i may add a little mascara or eye shadow but that is it, i hate the foundation and powder crap, it causes break outs and that is worse than no makeup at all.

I didn't wear makeup till i was a senior in high school and even now I only wear a little eyeliner and some masacra. Even that I hardly ever wear it. Other than some lotion on my face, but thats because my skin is really dry.

i'm a man so i can go out without wearing any make up, i hate to have a make up because it is very difficult to me. i like a simple one and i love a natural performance,and when i go out i just sprayed a parfum to my body. for some person make up is very important because it can be make us more confidence with our appearance mainly if we meet many people who make more attention to us

I never go out with my make up on. I feel awfull and not beautiful with it on. I have really red skin and its most of the time dry. my body doesnt produce enough oil for it to look good i guess. My make up is my cover up to look beautiful. I started wearning make up at a realy young age. At the age of two i was in beauty pageants and i started dance so being on stage required wearing make up. Of course i didnt wear it out or anything just on stage but theni turned 13 and it was a must that i had to have the make up. So i started at 13 wearing it all the time even though i really didnt need to, but the girls in school were doing it so i thought to do it too and look like them. I lvoe my make up
