and i go out without it all the time. i always put it on before i go to work though, but it only takes me five minutes. i don't like to wear a great deal because it makes you look completely different, plus it's bad for your skin. plus it looks bad.

apart from sometimes eyeliner, and powder if my face is shiny.

Bear in mind I quite like you and it's not meant to be (that) personal in any way.

But.

What in God's name possesses you to draw on your own eyebrows?

and then it's only ever mascara, and maybe some kind of foundation stuff. I always end up smushing it off, rubbing it all down my face. Plus, when you never wear make up, any time you make a teeny bit of effort, some mascara or something, people notice, hence, twice the compliments, half the effort!

I cannot, however, go without hair wax / texturising gum / matt clay (delete as applicable). I guess that's like make up for boys

but not that much, i don't think.

it takes me about 10mins in the morning.

ever
should i?

- concealer
- Foundation
- powder
- blusher
- eye shadow (neutral tone)
- Liquid eyeliner
- Mascara
- lipgloss on occasion

now i quite often dont bother.
i wear a little at work, put on a bit of concealer, blusher and vaseline on the train and most days thats pretty much it, though i do think its fun to go the whole she-bang as well, so when im in the mood i make an effort.

from your pictures i think you look pretty cool and 'arty' in terms of your make-up, but i dont get the drawing on eye-brows thing, in 99% of cases i just think it looks bad.

you havent shaved/waxed off your eye-brows completely to replace them with paint have you?

but sometimes I worry that I wear too much.

Actually, I didn't worry before I saw your thread.

It takes me about fifteen minutes or something and I only wear it when I go out, never to work, or to go to the shops or anything.

I wish I could wear lipstick, but it makes me feel far too girly.

i don't wear tonnes of it. if my skin looks ok i don't wear any. if i do, i wear mascara, foundation and sometimes eyeliner. i prefer not to wear foundation so that my freckles show. i mostly don't mind being seen without makeup and went makeupless to school. i do look a lot worse without it though...

HOW MUCH MAKE UP DO YOU OWN?
DO YOU HAVE BOXES IN CUPBOARDS THAT ARE NEVER OPENED? ANIMALS ARE DYING FOR THIS!
WHY DO YOU LEAVE MAKE UP EVERYWHERE?
IS MY BEDROOM YOU'RE DRESSING ROOM?

Mascara, usually eyeliner, face powder and a pinker face powder that I use as a blusher. And lip gloss, shiny light colours. I really try not to overdo too much it because it's pretty unnatractive seeing "older" women done up like a dog's dinner, plus having all that stuff on your skin for 14 hours a day for six or seven days a week really can't be doing much good for it at all. One of the reasons I don't use foundation at all any more, too.

That said, I've recently taken to a sparkly green eyeliner... umm, it just seems to suit me and my sister gave it to me in a bundle of freebies.

In terms of basic cover: never leave the house bare-faced, ever. But if just going to the shop or the market or whatever, will do the minimum possible and another sort of pink lip gloss doubles up and gets smudjed quickly over eyelids and cheekbones.

I need to find a new mascara that doesn't make me look like a blow-up doll and also doesn't clump, actually. Not happy with any of them at the mo.

but i hate going out without any make-up on at all, mainly because my skin is really, really repulsive without concealer. i only really use concealer, mascara and blusher.

and she only wears mascara, foundation and a bit of red stuff on her cheeks.

She's fucking rubbish.

hides the bits i don't like [not all of us are blessed with totally blemish-less skin], plays up the bits i do like [if people look over-made-up/drag queeny with make up on then frankly they're doing it very very wrong, a little goes a long way, it's not meant to make you look like a different person for goodness sake] and it's fun.

the problem is i never throw it away so i end up with boxes full of scraps of grey or green eyeshadow that i 'might wear again one of these days....'

2. tinted stuff that's like a super-thin version of foundation, because the woman in the shop wouldn't sell foundation to me. i don't know why. she said i didn't need it, but i'm pretty sure i do

3. mascara but i forget to put it on so pointless

3. lip balm (is that make-up) otherwise my lips are covered in scars and flaking skin (sexy)

4. eyeshadow, but not very often. i really like it.

5. eye glitter. should really stop wearing it.

and mascarae on anyways, so NO i dont need it, though Mascare does REALLY suit the shape of my pretty eyes.

and am quite happy without.

These days however I do tend to wear a smidge of foundation and some mascara most days. Always vaseline for my lips.

i have a huge bag of it, i wear concealer
powder
mascara
a little bit of blush and i like my eyeliner for the day. When i go out i wear a good bit of eyeshadow, the more dramatic my eyes the better.

i can't believe i read through this thread. although i wish i was a girl, not for the make-up but for all the cool clothes you get to wear.

And I mean none, not even a tiny bit of mascara. There are so many things I'd rather do.

When I go on a night out, I do my eyes, but no foundation or lipstick or anything. And I've been doing my eyes the same way since i was 13...
