Makeup

I wear make up everyday, mascara, eyeliner or eyeshadow,
concealer and foundation. But the foundations the palest one
they do so I'm not orange. I thought I looked horrible
without it, but the other day I stayed at my friends house
and in the morning when I had no make up on he told me I was
perfect. I was so shocked, but it was such a nice thing to
say. I still wear it, but only becasue I enjoy putting it on
and looking better.
I can go both ways

I'm 14 and I only wear make-up for special occasions.
Sometimes I wear it to school, but I usually only wear a bit
of eye shadow and sometimes eyeliner to school. I usually
don't like to put make-up on because I forget and rub my
eyes and mess it up. I have been wearing lip-gloss/chapstick
forever because my lips get really dry so I don't really
consider it make-up. I agree that some people put way too
much on, but when they only put a bit on, it can enhance
your natural beauty.
make up :) :)

i agree that make up is a mask that we hide behind.
but i
would NEVER give it up
if it my make up looked bad, it cant
be as bad as how i look without it.
make up is wonderful.

i used to love wearin make up. 1day my bf asked me why i
always try to look good.i couldn't answer the question. he
told me im pretty w. makeup but absolutely gorgeous w.o
it&now i rarely wear make up. if i try to look a little
"pretty" i only wear masacara. he made me feel comfortable
w. my appearance w. & w.o make up. i love sleeping later &
not worryin so much about what i look like. i laugh at girls
who wear 300 pounds of make up. i think they look ridiculous
which only boosts my self esteem
Ehh!

I wear very little makeup. Usually just eyeliner because I
have very little eyes and it makes me feel a little better.
My friends get angry with me when do actually put some on
because they think I am beautiful without it.
Embracing my beauty

When I was in middle school I never wore makeup. I too found
myself trying to fit in by wearing makeup but I looked
ridiculous because I didn't want to take the time. Now that
I wear makeup on a daily basis, I do feel a lot better about
myself, bot because I'm hiding, but becausing I'm showing to
the world that I care about what I look like and presenting
a positive image. Whenever I'm wearing makeup, people
compliment my natural beauty, makeup is meant for that
reason, embracing natural beauty
Oh the memories...

When I was in jr high, I looked like racoongirl: I was a 12
year old armed w/ a bottle of liquid eyeliner. Since then, I
have learned how to put on makeup well & I always look
amazing. I only wear it for school dances or other special
occasions. It's too much of a hassle & if I can spare myself
the 15 minutes of extra sleep, I find that I am a happier
student in first per chem. makeup is a stage that most girls
go through before they realize that they are beautiful.
Haven't touched it in months!
I agree

I have to say the first time my boyfriend met me, before we
were together, I had no makeup on and I was mess! He looked
at me and we just had a conversation. Through out the year
he saw me in various states. The day we actually talked
about how we felt, I had no makeup on and had worked a six
hour shift. That was the first time he called me beautiful.
LADIES, THEY DON'T REALLY CARE! IF THEY DO, THEY ARE NOT
WORTH YOUR TIME!!!!

Okay. I wear like make up EVERY DAY. It's not even funny.
Though I don't wear Foundation, I wear eyeshadow, eyeliner
mascara and MAYBE on a very special occasion, I'll wear
blush. I don't really LIKE my appearance with out make up..
