I don't always wear make up everyday , sometimes I only wear lipstick just to cover my pale lips. Someday when I went to a store - where I use to buy my daily needs - I was walking to a stand of cosmetic to buy eyeliner when the clerk said something to her friends. It seemed that her two friends were trying to make her shut up and they looked bit affraid looking at me, but their friends (the one who were talking) didn't give a sh*t and continue talking. I heard her talking accidentally - she were talking about me, she were wondering why I was so ugly without make up , and said some bad stuffs. And when she looked at me and realized I could hear what she said, she looked terribly nervous. And it wasn't the first time I was treated like that. When I wear make up , some people said I was good loocking - but people always say that I shouldn't wear make up , I could be beautiful by my nature look, and some of them shown up themself how they were beautiful without trying to be so hard like me, even I am always bullied by a lecturer that people like me never had a brain (but anyway, I always get the 2rd highest rank in my university). But when I don't wear any make up - they often mock at me , some of them are so mean. And some of them are my lecturers - mocked at me in front of the class, how ugly I was. I wear eyebrow pencil to cover my too - thin eyebrow, I wear eyeliner to cover my very sharp eyes , I wear lisptick to cover my pale lips, and I only wear 3 of them. Am I wrong? Am I that ugly?

Hello Juliyan23 When I read this discussion it is remind me to my own experience, it seems like people nowadays easily judging other by their out shape. My 13 years old cousin also get bullied by her friends because she has dark skin and full lips, I tried to encourage her that she is beautiful as the way she is and beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I think everyone is born beautiful and if someone called you ugly, then the problem is on their own eyes why they have such ugly eyes so whatever they see looks ugly for them, you are beautiful because God create you, you dont have to change your appearance or the way you are to please them, just be confident of who you are. Beauty is just skin deeps...what if someday the people who think that they are prettier than you got accident and ruined their face? I believe that whatever we have is never truly ours, God create me this shape but He could take away anytime He wants, we dont create our own eyes shape, we dont create our lips shape, we dont creare our nose shape, etc so how could we mock other people when we dont even capable to create it all by ourself? We never decided in which race, what skin colour, what outshape we would be born, it's all blesses from God whatever our condition is. I think your lecture is being immature to bully you like that, she/he has no right to make such comment about your out shape, I think they are very insecure with their own condition, they probably less smarter than you and they try to bring you down by mocking you appearance. Dont fall into their game okay? Because you are so much better than people who only knows how to mock other people. Oh I bet the sales girl in that cosmetic counter is insecure with their own appearance, you look confident with the way you are whether you are wearing makeup or not, they know they cannot compete with you so they try to make themselves looks better. I would ask them "is your life that so pathetic that you have to make yourself as something by mocking other people?"

Hi Fashionfever Yes, you are right ,dear. If they mock at a God's creature - they are doing mock at God, rite? And I even don't think if I change my appearance will please them instead of them will mock at me how pathetic I am because I only good when I changed my appearance - haters only hate , they never be able to appreciate something Yes, dear, that is what I wondered about - how could the lecturers brought me as a joke and they made me as a discussion "what parts of Juliyan's face which have to be fixed?" (I really mean it - she really made that discussion in the class). You could imagine how the students in that room were trying so hard to mock at me ,rite? I guess they are just some pathetic haters Well - I have told them why their life just about mocking at someone? They said - they didn't try to mock at me , they just told the truth and if I was hurted because of that it meant that I was over sensitive and they started addressing me as a mad girl .. I give up to make them right - we couldn't do anything to the ignorants, rite? I only hope that someday they will be more mature and wisely treat others :) I'm not always listen to them - but there are some moments when we need to share some stories to the others, rite? And I am so happy that many myLotters have made my day ! Especially you - who always strengthen me Love you !

Hi friend, Don't listen to negative words about you. And honestly, you are not alone.. alright? You are beautiful just the way you are. I am always being said as ugly duckling, too. My hair is very thin. Every one who looks at my head will turn pity on me. They will think that I suffer of some kind of disease because my hair is so thin that it almost bald (if you know what I mean). I got freckles on my face and people around me cannot accept it and I always have curvy figure. Sometimes I feel sad because people's words consume me. However, I try to fight it hard. You know what crazy thing I do? I tell myself.. when I feel like nobody loves me, at least I love myself. I have my pets who don't care if I am bald or fat.. ^.^ You are beautiful. ^.^ Have a nice day..

Hi Hestylim I am like you very much, dear. My hair is turning bald eventhough it is covered by my frizzy hair ( I have a "lion's hair ) , and I have freckles - dull skin , and I'm fat. Some of my friends addressed me as a obesity girl . And someday, my mom's friend mistakenly recognised me as a housemaid . Yes - sometimes I feel sad of their mistreating to me . But it just a feeling on a moment, rite? There's a moment where we just couldn't be more stronger for a while. All I could do is crying - but now I could share with myLotters and find a joy and happiness reading on the responses . Yes, I'm not alone - you are one of myLotters who always make my day ! Yes we all are beautiful Have a nice day! :)

There really are rude prople around us and it gets me real mad hearing them mock othet people as if they ate perfect. they do not have the tight to hurt you in anyway. do you think you ate ugly? i don't see ugly people from merely looking at their faces? what is important is the beauty you have within. I rarely wear make-up too.i just use lipstick and an eyelinet. if you think that they still think thst you do not look pretty enough just the way you are well that should be their problem, right? Anyway, if you really want to look beautiful for yourself, try using a different shade of lipstick. A color that will compliment your skin tone. don't go heavy with the pencil on your brows and under your eye. just achieve s natural look wothout having the trouble of putting lots of make up on. try having a different hairstyle. this would surely shock them! Hahaha! I hope that despite what these people see in you, you would appreciate the real you inside. Have a great day and good luck on your make over! knock 'em down!

don't listen to them. insecure people often do this because of how they feel about themselves. if you feel comfortable in your own skin than you simply should ignore them. I got told the same...and you can imagine how hurt I felt. but I realised that if I want someone to like me than I have to accept myself the way I am. some women can look fabulous without even trying while others have to work in order to get there. but life it's not everything about looks. who loves you loves you the way you are and you know what they say...beauty is in the eye of the beholder

HEY you there Juliyan23 =D NEVER EVER GET UPSET from those people who keeps on mocking at you. As what the other myLot friends been telling you, they're just JEALOUS. They envy you the very reason that you can go outside freely without bothering too much make up on your face. Just a simple lipstick will do ;) Natural is beautiful, always remember that.

Why do you so care what people say. You have to believe in yourself. Listen to what people say, it will only make you tired. I often hear people around me say, if I'm ugly. But, I do not care. Ugly is not a sin. I am grateful with what God has given to me. My ugliness, no harm to others. So, why should I to think of others. Those who say I'm ugly, they're insulting God.

I don't think a person that wears make up is ugly or not. I think women shouldn't really wear make up because some people not all women that do wear make up are using it to cover the person that they are and other just use it to enhance there natural look. I also feel that make up should look natural on a women and not caked on like a clown. But I would call a women that is wearing make up ugly at all. Some women always look good with and with out make up on. It just depends on how that person puts the make up on. You are not wrong if wearing make up the way you do makes you feel good about yourself then there isn't anything wrong with it. But even when your not wearing making if you still feel beautiful with out then that is good as well.

Dear, the only truely ugly people are the ones who are mocking you in the first place. The ones being rude and crude, and most of all ignorant and trying to make you feel less of a person simply by mere words and opinions. There will come a time when their looks will go as well, but by then their ugliness in their soul will take over anyways.

Always remember Juliyan that beauty is not measured by the looks but rather, by the purity of the heart. I have friends who also feel inferior especially when they are being insulted on how they look. But I always tell them that they are far more beautiful compared to those people. In God's eyes, all of us are beautiful no matter where you come from or how you look. Never be ashamed of yourself. Be confident because God loves you just the way you are. And also remember that if people keep on saying something bad about you, this is because thay have nothing good to say about themselves. Keep on smiling because you are beautiful Juliyan. :)

You are not ugly dear, these people seem to be jealous. That's why, by the way external beauty doesn't attract me as much as the nature of person

I doubt it. I am probably uglier than you are - now - and I won't wear make up... too much bother. If someone were to say that about me in my hearing, I'd inform them I have BETTER things to do than wear make up.

many people have their disadvantages as you and I and everyone else. It did not wear does not mean you're ugly many people just might envy you for that courage, because not wearing makeup is pure courage. there is nothing better than natural beauty. everyone is beautiful and good in his own way. nice day!

No no, beauty doesn't lie in make up, it just enhances the beauty. Never ever give them ear,i don't wear make up at all. Yes people do such comments, i faced it, the sales girls in the malls, are too ugly with heavy make up, this is what i feel, they don't give good response to the people who don't wear make up, i have seen it. Its our wish what we want to wear and how much , they are not the ones who are going to decide, right? i used to feel a lot when ever i faced such situation ,but now i am more matured, they are not the one's who are going to pay for us, we spend our money , and if we are not comfortable wearing make up ,why should they bother? these people should learn the manners first, it doesn't mean we are ugly if we don't wear ant make up
