Make up

[levettepough]

Do you think that makeup really makes a woman look better or do you think that they use it for a coverup?

Personally speaking I have never really worn much makeup. Everyone kept telling me I was pretty without it. I would do it when I went out but in high school I didn't really wear any, just a little gloss on the lips. My 18 year old is the same way. All of her friends at school wear it and sometimes go overboard and make themselves look like clowns, while she is just wearing gloss and maybe eye liner.

I think it could be for both. I wear it to feel prettier but I also wear it to cover blemishes or acne.

I have never worn much make up but in some cases I think it can accentuate what you already have while many try to use it to cover up everything. I prefer it as an accentuation as an adult although when I was younger I used to use foundation to cover my cheeks because I would get embarrassed easily and my cheeks would become bright red at the drop of a hat it made it almost impossible for me to speak up in class or give a speech until I started using make up and I had more confidence.

It depends. If you wear flattering make up and don't overdo it then yes it does enhance a women's looks. But it can't totally transform you it really enhances. I normally don't wear makeup but when I do I only wear eye shadow, lip gloss and eye liner. I don't need cover up or foundation so I never wear it.

I feel like it does both.  I usually don't wear makeup, but it's nice to use to cover up my occasional blemish or when I want to feel more dressed up.

I believe that everyone has there own saying in make up. If a woman wants to wear make up then that is her choice but make up has nothing to do with a person's look.

Makeup and cosmetics do not have to hide beauty or "coverup". Sometimes you can use makeup to ENHANCE beauty. I wear make up and I have an incredibly high self-esteem because I know that I always look good and I look how I want to look. Some people do not need pounds of makeup to look pretty. Simply some blush and mascara will do. Others need more to hide scars or acne or simply because they aren't confident without it. And there is nothing wrong with that.

I think makeup is pretty superficial and unnecessary. Most women look perfectly fine without it. Guys don't paint their faces, so why should women? I always notice when a heavily makeup-ed woman is standing next to a fresh faced man.

Sometimes. Personally I don't care for it. Even though my skin isn't perfect I like how I look without it. Plus it just so messy and makes my skin itchy.

Light makeup makes some women look better. Most that use it are covering stuff up though.

I only just lately came to the realization that make-up is another one of those things that the media makes you think you need. Big corporations getting HUGE profits from women trying to look good to each other, and especially to men.   

I've been totally snowed for many, many years to the point that I never would go outside without putting on make-up. How ludicrous! I'm a little bit

better now, but still wear it. I envy those who are self-confident enough to not use it at all. 

It's probably WAY better for your skin not to use it. There are lots of chemicals in make-up that are known carcinogens. 

BTW, most women never realize how really beautiful they are, with or without make-up.
