The truth beneath it all.

How does make-up make you feel? what empowers you by wearing it? would you ever spend a whole day without it bare skin? why and why not?

I love wearing makeup because I love exploring and experimenting with my look everyday. It makes me feel... Well good :) but I go out with absolutely nothing on all the time. When I had a little acne problem awhile ago I didn't go out without it because I was so embarrassed but learned to love me.

Make is essential for cover ups or hide those little imperfections. Two things I can't live without is mascara and eye liner. I would go bare, it just depends on the mood I'm in.

Makeup makes me feel confident and beautiful even though I only wear mascara and sometimes eyeliner. I even feel beautiful without makeup and I wish every other girl could feel that. I only wear mascara cause I love my eyes and it enhances them, I don't need the foundation because I don't have acne, I hate it when girls wear foundation if they have no acne. I feel they wear just cause the can, I think the less the makeup the better.

I can go out with no makeup at all coz its not like I want to impress anyone and if I had a crush I would want him to like me for me and also you can have your own opinion of whether I'm pretty or not without makeup becoz anyways I care mor about my school work than how my face looks like in school becoz in 20 years I'm not going to see the people that are in school right now but I also still like makeup.

Makeup makes me feel more confident, more beautiful, and just all around more happy! by wearing makeup, I feel older than I actually am. not that that's necessarily a good thing ;) but it makes me feel more mature! I would spend a whole day without wearing makeup, in fact I do that for school! I like to let my skin breathe, it feels so good! I have very mild acne, but I've been realizing lately that everyone suffers from it, whether it be a breakout or a tiny pimple. I've come to love myself and love how I look without makeup, as well :)

Makeup makes me feel confident as well and also when I'm depressed I feel like when I do my makeup I start feeling better so yes I think makeup can help out a lot.I usually wear makeup only when I'm going out I'm bare skin at home all the time and usually when I'm in a hurry and need to go somewhere.

Applying makeup is my way of expressing creativity. I may not have time to pick up a paintbrush every day but I can play with colors and textures with a makeup brush in much the same way as other artistic outlets.

I think it's more empowering to go without makeup because you see that the world responds to a friendly smile or a kind word regardless of what's on your face. Also, you begin to realize you notice your own imperfections much more than anyone else ever would.

That being said, wearing some makeup can say a lot about you and your individuality, most generally that you take pride in how you look and put some effort into taking care of yourself.

I agree, great topic. It's really interesting to learn what makeup means to everyone else on here :)

It builds my confidence. Otherwise I'm really insecure and I feel like I don't belong.

Honestly, I feel just as confident without makeup as I do with, but I love makeup because it's like my own form of art. Some people like to paint, others like to sculpt, and I like to draw and colour on my face, and I'm completely fine with that!

I love wearing makeup just cause I feel good with it. Yet in my opinion. I feel pretty without it as well! I do go without makeup pretty often!

Makeup to me is the same as having a cute outfit that you feel great it. Changing your features from day to day is something I love to do. One day I'll play up my eyes and the next my lips. It's just a way to be an artist. My skin can be wacky at times so makeup just makes me feel evened out and confident!

I use makeup as a way of reflecting how I feel on the inside in my outer appearance, putting my best face forward, so to speak. I'm happy with how I look and who I am and makeup is a great way to play up the things I like best while downplaying the things that are less than stellar. I wear makeup pretty much whenever I go out of the house (usually just a little something to even my skin tone and minimize my dark circles, tinted lip balm and mascara to play up my eyes). But I'm happy to be without it at home and I've always loved my face best when it's freshly washed.

I love what Jacqueline wrote! I do go without makeup but I always wear eyeliner when I go out. and maybe a bit of lip balm. some days I feel like playing around with makeup and wear a lot more than I would on other non-makeupy days :)! either way I swear by eyeliner no matter what.
