    Okay guys, how do you feel about makeup on girls? Is it okay as long as she doesn't look like a completely different person when she takes it off or wouldn't rather she not wear it at all?

    Girls, what's your relationship with makeup?

    We know your relationship with makeup... It's like sex. But better?

    I don't mind a gil in make-up, as long as she knows how to wear it! You gotta have the right foundation colour.. none of this too dark/light shit! AND FOR GODS SAKE BLEND IT PROPERLY! I'm a male and I swear I could do it better than some chicks out there.

    Also, alot of chicks over do it. They put sooooo much on. It's not supposed to cover your natural beauty.. Only emphasize the good points even more.

    If you look like a barbie.. I'd not even bother coming to speak to you. Usually means they have absolutely no personality or so self absorbed they wouldn't know I exist.

    Okay.. Theres my rant for the day :p

    I agree with Junior. I don't wear a lot of makeup, just the basics, or a little more depending on the occasion. But it's not attractive to look like a birthday cake with so much makeup on your face that you can't even see YOU anymore. It's meant to enhance.. not cover up.

    I generally prefer little-to-no makeup, however I understand that women like to get dolled up sometimes. I just think it rarely looks better than how they would look without it.

    I only ever wear just mascara and a powder... I wouldn't even bother with the powder, but the glare off my face mucks up pictures :/ stupid oily skin! Oh, and for special occasions or something I'll wear lip gloss... but that's so rare, its not even worth mentioning.
    Yup. I'm not even sure what to do with the rest of anything... lol?
    Well, I could prolly figure it out but I don't care if I do or not...

    And yeah, I think girls who wear way too much makup are icky. Also another random thing I don't like is bold, bright blue eyeliner. One girl at school wears it frequently and I really dislike it... it just looks bad.

    No, def not better than sex lol. It's fun though...a form of self-expression like nail polish or a tattoo or something. I consider myself more of a makeup collector than a wearer. It's fun to look at, but applying it is a chore sometimes. I think makeup is awesome (regardless of how much or little girls choose to wear) as long as they are still comfortable with how they look without it...

    I agree with Ice Nine. I've always been a supporter of the Natural is Beautiful slogan. I don't dislike makeup, but I don't see a real need for it. Beauty exists on its own, and doesn't need anything to improve it

    Except for those rare occasions when you girls DON'T have breakouts of pimples or other sorts of bad skin that you don't need to cover up because it never happens... ;)

    What about make-up on guys? That seems to be a new trend starting... I mean, people on TV have always used power and stuff to stop the shine.. But eyeliner.. (mascara in some cases). Come on boys... Enough!! you're not doing drag (unless you are.. then thats fine!!)

    What's a pimple? o_O But in all seriousness, I was blessed with pretty good skin, so my breakouts were never that bad, nothing that a little concealer wouldn't hide. But that doesn't mean you have to cover your entire face ya know? Or if it is, then you have an excuse to wear a lot of makeup. lol

    I agree.. make up on guys is just a no-no.

    On a daily basis, I wear nothing on my face... I'm lucky to have a pretty nice skin. I do wear some simple make-up for special occasions, but not often, maybe once or twice a month...

    My mom always told me. "I'd rather have everyone tell me how pretty I look when I do make myself up, than have everyone stare at me in shock if I fail to make up one day..." And I think it's true! :funky:

    I was surprised by how difficult this question was for me to answer. I wear makeup almost everyday, though not a huge amount (eyes, cheeks, and clear lipgloss only). I am at the point where I find it almost difficult to leave the house without any makeup on. This is probably more because of self confidence issues more than anything else. My boyfriend prefers me without any makeup on, but as a teenager, and even now...I can't help that I like it (the colors are just so fun). But I also can't go without it anymore which I am realizing may be an issue.

    ...So I guess my relationship with makeup could be considered complicated. And I absolutely hate it when guys wear makeup, particularly eyeliner. I think it looks silly.

    To me makeup is something that should worn a little, I don't want a girl that had it caked on them, but to cover up blemishes is fine, but the girls who look like a different person without it are just gross haha

    I almost peed my pants reading this.. I have to agree.

    Personally (as a girl) i wear some eyeliner on my top lids, nothing more.. I work as a Dog Groomer so there is water splashing and hair flying.. when i wear mascara it collects hair on my eyelashes, haha... and water typically makes my makeup rub off anyway, so i don't bother with the whole fondation 'spchiel.

    Myself, I think most girls look better without it.
    But then there are alot of girls who think they need it to make them look better, and in return makes them more confident.
    And if thats the case, all the power to them.
    I tell my gf all the time that she looks better without it, but i tell her shes beautiful with it on too, just to make her feel better, when like I said my personal opinion is she shouldnt wear it.

    I think natural makeup is the best, like if its just covering up a little like concealer? then thats cool, just not girls caked in it!

    I'd always tried to do my make-up as natural as possible, eye-liners don't suit me and I never use them XD

    Like most of you, girls with little to no makeup look much better. Never really understood why other girls would tell their friends they looked "magnificent" when that girl had her face covered with an inch of makeup...unappealing with that much

    All i have to say is the more make up you wear when your younger the more you are going to need when your older. I dont wear it, have no use for it and wont need it to cover up the mess when im 50 lol
