I wear make up most of the time, when I go out to shops, at university, parties....but sometimes I like not wearing make up, at home and also when I go out  :)

I use Bare Escentuals pretty much everyday, it feels great. I used to use MAC but it felt so heavy on my face and made me break out often and I've never really had acne or a problem with that. My cousin did my make up for a show once and it felt so natural and looked great! I definitely recommend it to anyone especially if you have dry skin like me.

I barely ever wear makeup. When I do wear it it's only when I have blemishes to cover up. I hate the feeling of makeup and stuff on my face, not comfortable. Oh by the way...how is Bare Escentuals Manda? I was thinking of using that. I get the impression it wont be cakey or gross on my face.

Its great make up Emmy (sorry if I got your name wrong), its a little expensive and I bought the starter kit for $60 at Sephora because the Bare Escentuals store doesn't sell it. I also picked up some eye shadows and blush. It feels really nice, you get three brushes but you really only need the kabuki brush or the small concealer, and it comes with a moisturizer first that gives your face a soft glow with the make up and blends with the powder. You only use small amounts, and its really all you need. It is really natural and light. It also comes with a DVD, my cousin and I watched it and its pretty helpful. You should try the starter kit if you can find it. Let me know how it works for you if you decide to pick it up sometime.

Long answer: I think I kind of missed the boat as far as makeup goes. At the beginning of sixth grade, no one I knew wore or even mentioned makeup. And yet somehow by the start of high school everybody knew everything there was to know and I was like wtf? How did everyone learn so much about makeup? Not just the technique in putting it on, but like what all of the thousands of different kinds of foundation/coverup/concealer are supposed to do and the technique to use them. So basically, if I knew how to wear makeup properly... I would totally do it. I've tried learning before, but everyone who's tried to teach me doesn't understand how little I know. Whatever. It's been so long since it all started. [/pointless, frustrated rambling]

Short answer: no, never

All I can say about girls in makeup is that some should and don't, some absolutely shouldn't and do, and some just don't know when to stop.  I just know that if it comes off in my mouth (and I hate the taste), that's too much.

haha yeah...here in LA girls in middle school and high school start caking it on and it just gets worse. I like when its light and natural, not when it makes you look like a completely different person. I think its just supposed to enhance your features and cover up here and there. Our generation is going overboard.

It is called "makeup", not "overcompensate".  The generation before us wan bad about doing the same thing, tho.

I didn't start until Christmas of 8th grade and when I started I was a bit off par but I used to really be into the show "What not to Wear" and in the last fifteen minutes they sort of teach really helpful make-up tips. I know it helped me because I was a bit lost at first lol.

I wear a light foundation most days and a little blush - mascara if I'm going out somewhere but on a regular basis I don't always care to.  Always chapstick though, always always  :wink:

I usually just use concealer to cover up zits and spots everyday.
But when im going out at night i put on eyeliner.
For weddings i use some eye shadow and mascara.

But thats pretty much it since my parents arent that big on makeup yet :lol:

As long as someone doesn't look like a heavy metal band member all the time without specifically going for that look, sure.  The eighties were harsh, girls walking around with blue eyelids, caked on makeup you could measure with a ruler.  With all that makeup you'd think they'd just wear a mask with a clown on the front.  If us guys said anything...you might as put a sign on us that read "R.I.P."

that's all I have to say....

What KIND of metal band...?
Some wear corpse paint, some do makeup like girls, but most don't wear any makeup (assuming we're talking about men here, but girls are just as varied)....

I'm proud of my drag queen face when I go out.  I can't go out without lashes.

You know early bands like Kiss or whatnot....I was just an off-the-cuff comment.  Right now to my suprise I'm noticing a few women who might look a little better with a slight use of makeup.  I don't know.  I'm just sharing my observations.

Just curious, that's all.  :)

But now I'm laughing,  :lol:  imagining someone with unintentional KISS makeup...  8O  haha
Or maybe like Dee Snider (Twisted Sister)  8)
