Makeup? Do we even need it.

So sometimes I find that when I put on makeup everyday like while going to school, I like the way it looks. But then when I come home and wash my face it looks so much better, I tried just foundation, lipbalm and curled my lashes and went to school and it looked so much better for some reason! And my friends thought I looked better that way. It's not like I cake my makeup on or wear a lot. It's just foundation, mascara, lip balm, and eyeshadow when I'm feeling it. I So my question is do you guys find that you actually look better without much makeup? I'm not trying to sound like cocky or snobby I just generally like the way I look better naturally. How about you guys?

Makeup was made to bring out the features in a persons face. So depending on how you use makeup, it looks better than without. I don't wear it often because I feel I don't need it. But I don't have acne. Foundation and concealer are great for hiding acne which helps the appearance of the face. All I use is eye makeup and a little (very rare) to define my cheekbone. Which I find is beautiful on me. Also people already notice my eyes without makeup. The makeup just enhances them. Same with the cheekbones for me.
But I think when makeup is caked on it isn't really going to make the face look better unless you are focusing on specific things on your face.
That's just my opinions ^_^

My best friend had the same experience. She came to school one day, and with a whole eyeshadow look and the next day she wore foundation, and just curl her lashes. She looked SO much better. Idk, what it is. Maybe some people prefer how they look with really natural looks (like me) while other like a little more dolled up look. It all really depends on the person. But as I said before I prefer a really natural polished look.

I agree with Sandra and I seriously look forward to getting ready in the morning! You don't need it and if you feel comfortable with less then by all means do you girl (:
I feel like with less I feel better and my boyfriend enjoys it lol. However I live for dramatic makeup:D

I don't think we necessarily need it but I love the process and how it looks :) I don't think I'm ugly but I do have a little bit of acne still which brings down my self confidence, so that's why I wear foundation to school. I like to wear bronzer, blush, and highlighter to enhance my cheekbones, forehead, and nose because I have a skinny face already and I like to bring out those features :) I don't normally wear eyeshadow but I usually wear eyeliner, mascara, and lip balm. however, when I wore just bb cream and no other face makeup with lip balm and curled lashes some guys told me I looked better that way! so believe it or not, some boys actually like natural looks better, so there's no need to wear tons of makeup to impress a guy :)

No. I like doing my makeup and how I look. I don't ever cake it on or go the whole 9 yards, lol but I love my winged liner and defined brows. I hate not having my liner. Lol. I mean, I'm not ugly, but I prefer myself with makeup.

I like how most of my face looks, though I'm still aware of my acne. That's part of why I almost never wear face makeup other than sunscreen. I do think that my eyes look better with eye makeup on, but that's just my insecurities. A lot of the people around me appreciate that I don't get super caught up on makeup.

I cannot leave the house without my foundation on and mascara so yes I need makeup and like it better when I have it on :D.

I can leave the house without makeup and I'm fine with that but I definitely do look better with makeup on. I don't put tons on...just foundation, mascara, blush, brows, and eyeliner but it makes such a difference. If I don't wear makeup even my mom is like "you should go put some makeup on" lol...not in a mean way. I just look better with makeup on.

Oh! What Cady said about guys is so true! Guys don't usually like it when girls where toooonnnnsss of makeup. I've even heard guys in my class talk about girls wearing too much makeup lol.

I love how makeup instantly gives a person a certain vibe. You're wearing cat eyes and a red lip? Boom - you're classy. Bright, vibrant colors? Boom - you're fun. Dark, sultry smokey eyes? Boom - you look mysterious.

I just think it's really fun and I love creating a different persona when I'm feeling it. I can go with or without but knowing I look at least awake makes me more confident.

@katherine I agree! I love how makeup gives personality.

I think that sometimes you just get used to a certain look, so eventually it starts to be plain. like then when you changed it up and wore less it made you look newer? you know? like I used to only wear my hair down, but one day I just put it in a ponytail, I mean super plain, right? but I got compliments bc it looked different.

All makeup really does is bring more color to a persons face.

I'm don't think I'm terrifying with out it, but I certainly prefer it. But in my opinion, thats the glory of makeup; you can wear as much of it or as little of it as you please! I believe makeup is to not only enhance your features but to increase confidence as well, so if there's a girl who wears a full face everyday bc she feels better that way, then so be it! Vise versa with someone who wears little, as long as you feel confident in yourself, thats all ya need! x
