Natural look. Natural look. Make-up just gets in the way.

[IdlersDream]

Make up can also enhance already good features. Trust me, some girls don't look as pretty without makeup.

[Chicken]

Or make you look older than twelve. I hate it when people used to think I was really young or something. Gaah.

However, overdone is ridiculous. Leave the clown makeup to KISS. (No, that was NOT directed at anyone. Just saying.)

[IdlersDream]

Agh, same prolem here, Chicken. People think I'm 12 years old so a little bit of mascara and lip gloss changes their minds.

I hope it wasn't directed to me... I never know if peoplethink I wear too much or not. I just try and keep my skin looking more one shade of pale lol. And I always like different eye shadows.

[Zen Clarke]

I never wear makeup. Not because I'm anti-makeup; I just don't feel like putting it on. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) Too much of a hassel.

[IdlersDream]

Also because you're too young. I hate young girls that wear makeup.

[Zen Clarke]

I'm sixteen. >-> Most people my age do wear it....Or were you talking to Nikki? In that case, ignore me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) ;;

[IdlersDream]

Err, thought you were younger than that. -.-

[Chicken]

Heehee, nope. I thought your make up was light and pretty. I make mine a little dramatic on the eyes, because well, in truth, my eyes are very little and also sad looking so, I draw a line upwards to reverse that effect. Because, everyone's all "Cassie! Quit being sad!" And, I'm like, "I'm fine. oO"

[Mizukithepanda]

I'm like you Zen, I don't wear make-up either. Though... I'm 19, so... it's a little more "expected" that I would. >.>.... I just hate the feel of it on my face. I'd rather be mistaken for a child (which I am quite often... -_-) than wear eye make-up (which does no good on me anyway) and goopy chocolate pudding like lip-gloss. And it is a hassle.

Actually, I was slightly discouraged the other day when a friend commented on a graduation picture of mine where I did indeed have make-up on and told me, "Dang, woman you're beautiful! Why don't you do this more often?" I honestly think I look much better without it...

And to back that up, here's a small comparison:

(I've posted this before, way back. I think I deleted the attachment because I hardly had any space at the time...)

[attachment=546:Prof001A.jpg]

(Graduation '08. The picture was professionally done and so was the make-up. I hated it. It felt so darn good to wipe that chocolate pudding off. >:])

[Zen Clarke]

Err, thought you were younger than that. -.-

LOL! How old did you think I was, ID?

Mizuki: You're very pretty as both. :] I only wear makeup on special occasions, like, if/when I go to the military ball, and my goth Halloween costume. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) And that's pretty much it.

[Nurse Fin]

I like playing around with makeup 'cause my artsy side tells me it's fun to draw on my face in pretty colors. But I'm too lazy to do it every day. Such a hassle. :/ I get told I look 12-14 no matter how much makeup I wear, but I don't like using dark lip colors so that might be why. They get all over everything...

[Chicken]

I hate using dark colors on my lips, too. It creates a mess and wears off anyway.

[Crystal Talian]

I'm twenty and I never wear makeup. Ever.

I'm anti-makeup, though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

[IdlersDream]

Zen - Like, 14 or something. It's hard to know when I've never seen you before lol.

Umm, obviously some of you have never used the right kind of makeup if it doesn't feel good on your face.

Also, there are some great lipglosses out there that don't feel sticky.

I used a Dr. Pepper lip chap to make my lips a darker red and then use a redish lip gloss to make it shiney and a bit darker.

I don't use lipstick as, well, I'm only 17 and I think lipstick should be for people a bit older. Also, lipgloss just looks nicer.

I wish I could find something that was darker on my lips, I always have that problem.

I also love different eye shadows. I don't use eyeliner as I suck at putting it on and it just doesn't look right on my eyes. I also has 'sad' eyes, but once I curl my eyelashes and use some mascara, it makes them look a lot better. Also, it brings out my blue eyes.

I think most people do look better with makeup on unless you have amazing skin and no darkness under your eyes whatsoever. A little bit of makeup, each day, just brightens a lot of people up. Also, it only takes me 10-15 minutes to get completely ready and that's makeup, getting dressed and fixing my hair. If you know what you're doing, it's very easy.

[GustafasChild]

It's not often that I wear makeup myself. I don't feel much of a need, but it is nice on occasion (especially when you have someone else doing it for you~).

My, my. Lookit what I found:
I went from none...
(IMG:http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk166/AkuRoku2127/Random/Randomstuff042.jpg)
...To massive amounts around my eyes...
(IMG:http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk166/AkuRoku2127/People/Sandra/Pick-a-chursX3005.jpg)
...To none once more.
(IMG:http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk166/AkuRoku2127/People/Sandra/OldFriends009.jpg)

Totally prefer the ones without makeup. Of course, I blame that on my obviously newbie self who seemed to believe that raccoon eyes were the bees knees.



I'll occasionally wear makeup if I'm doing something special or having fun with friends (although nothing like that middle picture, I assure you!). Or if I'm in costume, but then it's a whole different idea, I say. Otherwise, I haven't collected enough really to play with it much. Besides, I'm only young yet <3

[Zen Clarke]

So I strike you as being 14? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaeyes.gif)

I dunno. Without seeing people I can get a basic idea of how old they are. Just from the way that they talk. Though there are a few cases where I think they're older than they really are, because they talk much more mature. Or, some who I think are younger than they are because the way they talk is much more immature. But most people I can tell how old they are, just from the way they talk.

[Crystal Talian]

You strike me as being around fourteen, too, Zen. But that's not a bad thing.

Just curious, how old would you have guessed me as? Possibly a pointless question since you know how old I am. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

[Zen Clarke]

Honestly? I thought you were around 17. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) ;;

Do I sound 14? Like I'm immature? Oh well. I always forget I'm 16. I FEEL like I'm 14. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

[Crystal Talian]

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)
Nice. I was a lot less mature when I was seventeen.

It's not so much that you act immature, you just seem a little . . . hmm . . . young? Well, that's not exactly the same thing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalatounge.gif)
