personally, i think all of the variations of makeup is somewhat fascinating
i love makeup, but as a natural look
as to highlight my features
im not a big fan of intense makeup, as i think everyone is pretty the way they already are
its just fun to use(:

but i don't think it matters if youre a makeup person or not

I honestly have NO idea of how to put on make-up at all. (I'm sixteen, by the way.)
And unfortunately, I don't think non-make-up'd face is usually 100% acceptable in the real world. (I'm going into some form of design...)

If for anything, I'm probably just going to learn how to wear eyeliner and mascara, 'cause I don't know if my lips not being able to hold color because of my bite will ever be fixed.

I've only worn make-up probably six times max in my life...and every single application of it, it hid my features, not enhanced them. D: A lot of guys who've seen the pictures agree I look my best when I'm actually natural.

I put on makeup everday when I go out. I do find it tedious, and I don't find it fun but I like the total outcome of how I look. I usually put on a light powder foundation where you can barely tell I'm wearing it (unlike some women who cake it on and their skin looks very fake). And I wear three colors of eyeshadow, and they're all natural. I don't like unatural colors. And then Mascara and that's it. If any of you want, I can show you how to put it on, the way I do it. Just for an Idea and then you can do it however you please. I'd make a little diagram on photoshop.

I feel l liek that scene from mulan when I put make up on, makes me feel and look fake too much.

I don't look good in alot of makeup so I just wear a little eyeliner

I've worked in a cosmetics department for 3 years and still think thatasome people don't need to know how to do their make up.

Its all about how you personally feel about it. I like to do eyeliner and shadow because I like a bit of color but I never do blush or bronzer. And yeah some make up application takes skill, but the skill are easily learned with practice. My mother is in her 40's and still can't do more than a little cover up and blush so don't think its a bad thing to be older and without make up.

i dont think its ridiculous at all. i mean, i wear makeup. but i'm not like those girls who omgicantleavethehousewithoutit. you know? but i do use a decent amount.

you could always get a friend to do it for you if you need it, hehe
and some packages come with instructions.
i just learned by eye.
no pun intended?

Make up is not really important. If you want to learn ask a close friend? Or relative? If not don't wear eney like your doing nowC:

well, special occasions are one where it's nice to wear make up, especially if you normally don't.

it's not really that hard, I learned all by myself too and I was a huge tomboy..
well, still am. you just have to practice, and there are tons of make up tutorials
on youtube as well!

Well, everytime i put on alot of make-up, i end up looking worse than what i started out with >_>" I think a little eyeliner and lipgloss suits me fine. Besides, if i put it on i'll be paranoid 24/7 about it getting smudged ><;;

I think make up is kind of dumb. I'm a teen and I don't wear make up and I'm glad I don't. I have friends who get up thirty minutes earlier to put on there make-up, and then when then don't wear it one day they look weird. I say go without it and like nature make you beautiful. :D

I think the motivation comes some day. It did that for me...
Still I'm not very good at it. I usually just put black eyeshadow around my eyes and a little mascara. I don't like lipstick or lipgloss : x
But if you don't have the motivation, I don't think it's necessary. You can do without :3

I've just started wearing makeup on a near daily basis, so I have really no idea what to do since it's never really been a big deal for me.

So I get all my stuff from L'Oreal, because they have this chart that helps you find the shade you need for foundation/blush/concealer, and they have eyeshadows for dark/light/green/blue/brown eyes which tell you exactly how to apply it.

And it's a good thing that they have all that, or else I would be TOTALLY lost.

I can't be bothered.

I haven't dabbed too thickly, but every now and then I'll put a bit of foundation on. I always put on eyeliner before going on stage though, it really accents the eyes and helps your facial expressions become more apparent [:

i don't wear make up, and i definitly have a reason. first of all, i don't wear it 'coz it's a waste of time and money. second of all, i like to look natural. and last of all, i know i look beautiful without it. [:

I won't wear it. I want to look as natural as i can...Why wear a mask? You just forget who you were without it on. It's also an expense i cannot/do not want to have.

I'm 18 and the most I ever wear is subtle eyeliner+mascara. ((I have like NO LASHES D: ))
My face can't handle make-up very well. I'm one of those people that looks trashy with just a HINT of eyeshadow or blush; it's horrible. I have olive-toned skin but AHHH. I don't know if it has to do with my face shape or structure but I look AWFUL with it. ;____;
It makes me really sad because I loveloveLOVE playful makeup. I wish I were light-skinned so I could pull of cute, bright colours. My skin only "goes" with disgusting earthy tones. =A= Where's the fun in putting on dirty coppers and golds?? :'(

There are eye shadows that can go with your skin color. You can try purple, or a green. Those work probably best with your skin color. You'd probably look good with shimmery stuff too.

I never really liked make up. I tried it on once at a 6th grade celebration party, but I felt so... fake wearing all that make up so I never wore it after that.
But I'm fine with costume/Halloween make up.

I hate make up, but I love the way it looks on others. I can never get it to look right on me, I look like a clown. But I love seeing people with really bizarre make up colors or whatever.
