Why do you wear makeup?

[Ricci]

I just started wearing make up 2 years ago, I didnt have enough self confidence to bother wearing it, one day I decided I am going to try black liner on my top lids for the cat eye look and WOW! I looked beautiful, just 2 black lines on my lids made me look so sexi, Im hooked now,.,, I luve those Urban Decay glitter eyeliners too

I liked that answer: to cover up the bad (blotchiness and paleness) and enhance the good (cheekbones and lashes)

I just look so BLAH without makeup. fair skinned blondes need some color on their faces in order to not like 15 LOL

I wear m/u because it just makes me feel prettier and when I feel prettier, I feel better.

It's the only time I actually feel as though I look pretty! I've seen pics of me w/out makeup, and I can't believe I leave the house like that! So, for me, it's all about making me feel better as feel as if I look pretty! Not to mention, it's just plain dang fun to wear and make new looks with!!! Aerisley, you are stunning! I just started being active on this board but everytime I see your pic, I have to stop and stare. Its so sad that people try to beat the beauty out of you. But little do they know that such beauty can only be enhanced never diminished.

I wear mu to hide my acne and shiney/oily skin, and to bring out my tiny eyes! If my skin was better, I would wear less face mu, and if my eyes were bigger and/or if I didn't wear glasses, I wouldn't always bother with eye mu either! I'm already self-conscious about how I have to wear glasses (I can't wear contacts

) and I think that my glasses just go with the computer-geek stereotype, so I like to wear mu to look more girly, and I like feminine clothes -- I want to show people you don't have to look like a geek to be a geek

Because I like to experiment with new looks and colors.

Wearing makeup makes me feel good and confident of myself, and it evens out skintone/imperfections.

 

[posterofagirl]

Because 99% of the time I feel disgustingly ugly without it.

For all the reasons already said : it's fun, it's a confidence booster, and makes me feel pretty. I get really shy when I feel like I look ugly.
