Why do girls wear make-up? (3 Viewers)

As per title.

 

[boris]

range of reasons

- concealment of flaws
- enhancement of aesthetics
- peer pressure
- media designed ideals of what looks pretty

Because underneath the makeup we all actually have scaly green skin.

idk, i think it's gross when chicks overdo it, but a little bit can make you look heaps better or whatever

yeah, it makes me look heaps better when I put it on.

It makes us look pretty when its not over the top. I think, when you can notice it - it looks bad. But it can make you look pretty. Not that girls don't look pretty with out it of course. And it drags your confidence down when you have gross visible pimples.

boys have gross visible pimples and we don't pile on the makeup. Why?

I have makeup addictions. I wouldnt say I wear ALOT of makeup (plus mines usually nartural anyway) but 9 times out of 10 i wear it. Makes me feel better and more presentable. Just like you feel better when you've got a nice hairdo on your head. It actually stems more from when I had really awful sensitive skin and couldnt do anything with it, so now i like being able to play with it

i could go without makeup, i wear it occasionally.
generally ill do it coz i feel like it.
or to detract from signs of major sleep deprivation after an almost all-nighter.

but the majority of the time i dont wear it.

CONTROVERSY!!!































J/k, I don't wear makeup, my skin is pretty as is.

 

[boris]

i wear a light foundation coz my skin is pretty good, and other than that i just wear eyeliner and mascara to work

i dont really give a shit if i go out in public without makeup though

 

[Zrap]

So they can look like hot oompa loompas

Most of the time, we are wearing eyeliner, mascara, foundation etc, and you don't even know.

mascara gets a little messy though so I prefer to restrict myself to foundation ONLY.

as if you'd need makeup to look beautiful

I just like makeup? Its something I've liked playing with since I was fairly young.
I just prefer how I look with it on, to without it- i.e. I need it cause I hate my eyelashes, lol.
And my skin could be better =)

That's all really. I don't think it's cause I want to look like any media representation of pretty, I just like how I look/feel when I wear it?
And I do it for me, not to impress/appeal to anyone else =)
Yay for being able to be girly.

I wear mascara just coz I like the look of it, and a bit of blush because i've got dark brown (pretty much black) hair and relatively light skin and want to avoid looking goth or emo. Also, foundation and concealer when ive got a zit, but ive generally got good skin, so 90% of the time I dont bother.

theres this english teacher at my school who claims to be a feminist, but she wears enough makeup to clearly see where the the makeup beings and her skin ends. It's freaky.

If I'm going out somewhere nice, or to a job interview, or sometimes even to work (now that I'm dealing with people a lot) I wear make-up.

However I never wear make up casually, parties etc included. No foundation, no eyeliner, no mascara, no lip gloss, nothing.


I think most other girls wear it for confidence as they believe it makes them look better (some for good reason, others because they're deluded).
