Makeup and Why it Bothers Me

Post Reply New Topic

Too true sometimes. There's deciphering "business attire" on top of it for some jobs, also.

Sure there are lots of nonsense idiotic jobs out there. For gods sake there are also jobs left, where your ability to work is important, not if you polish yourself enough so that your chief dont care for your other abilities beside polishing.

My mother never wears make-up and never had any problems finding a job.

What calibre of firearm is "Society" holding up against your favorite head?

Nobody is forcing you to wear makeup - you choose to wear makeup of your own free will.

Calibre and Firearm:

During Border school we got additional to our school marks, marks for our behaving in border school. Everything was perfect except for "Tidyness/Cleanliness". I was astouned, because as in everything I had a system for me tidying my place. When I left my working place in the night, everything had to be on its place. I tiedied my bed naturally, I cared for my cloth so that no used socks would lie under the bed before I went to class, I washed my bedstuff at least every 2 weeks and so on, never wore any cloth two times. So I sometimes I really issued my roomcamerades with my tidyness. So I asked my educator why I got a 2 (1 would be the best note), when my roommates, being untidier then myself got a 1. "External appearance." What the f**k has external appearance to do with tidyness/cleanliness? So I didnt know yet that a propper hairstyle saves you from bacteria. The thing I really would like to know, if the boys from border school also got marked for their external appearance. So I never saw one of them wearing make up, so according to my educator none of them should have gotten a 1 in tidyness/cleanliness. But yes, they are boys so its something completely different, so for them REAL tidyness and cleanliness are important, but not for girls. They simply have to wear Make up to get a 1....thanks society.

Then it comes to NT that are at least a bit dumb, but that are nice. So you like them and you dont want them to be sad. So society tells them, that people that dont dress up for them dont like them. Sadly they believe this extreme nonsense. So as example, my mother in law, who is an extreme external person without thinking about the usefulness of social habbits, were very sad and disappointed because of me not styling when we visit her. For her it meant, that I wouldnt appreciate or like her, and she was really sad about it. So the ammunition and the weapon is sadness of a person you like. A problem that is even spreading, because if she is sad, then its not only bothering me, its alow bothering my partner, and if somethings bothers my partner, it bothers me too. The problem is an extreme external NT doesnt do that on purpose, its automatic and intuitive. So as example she felt deeply disappointed because of me wearing two times the same cloths on family event of hers. So her thought was: "She knows that she wore that s**t already, so she must wore this with the purpose of showing me, that she dont care for me." - My thoughts: "Ok, its a family event and my partners mum always cares so much for what s**t people wear. I think this could be comforting her." - 3 months later: "Ok, its a family event and my partners mum always cares so much for what s**t people wear. I think this could be comforting her." They simply dont think about all that dumb prejudices, and because of this they are disappointed without thinking if there is a reason, that they need to be disappointed. The thing is, that it doesnt help you anything that people you like are disappointed without reason. The nonexistent reason doesnt change anything about them being disappointed. If its a person that I dont care for, so its her/his own fault if he wants to bother himself without cause. But if its someone you like it is bothering you. So you could say, that you can simply do that s**t on your face, but the nonsense is highly expensive and dont last forever. So you buy a nuts mascara, are angering yourself that you wasted time at work to earn money that you waste by buying this s**t, and then you can use it three times until you need to buy a new one, because of it drying or getting lumps. Beside the effect that I need to buy myself an additional, also expensive, contact lens cleaner, because that nonsense gets in your eyes sooner or later and then you have streaks on your lenses. -.-

It simply f***s me up being forced to decide to disappoint people I like, or to have endless talkings to them - explaining to them that wearing no make up does not mean that you dont care for them - even when "Cosmopolitan" or another shitazin tells them otherwise or to surrender to insanity and waste time to waste money to buy yourself waste that you additional need to waste time, to apply this waste on your face. Its simply so endless dumb. The only male similar dumb habbit from my eyes are ties. Simply useless and dumb. But try going to an event without it: "OMG you have no useless piece of cotton around your neck! Catastrophe! We are all gonna die!"

Sorry for the endless text, puke out.

I don't wear make-up because I find it too time consuming. Most women who I know get up an hour or two earlier than they could, just to give themselves enough time to supply their make-up and style their hair each morning, whether they're going out that day or not. But I prefer an extra hour or so to lay in bed and not give myself so much stuff to do when I get up, except for all the necessities. I don't know how these teenage girls who lay in bed all morning get time to supply all their make-up, but they do it somehow.

Not wearing make-up doesn't mean I go out dressed unusual and have poor hygiene. I like to keep clean, and I wash my hair every 3 days, (that's how long it takes to get greasy each time), and I always look clean, and I also wear stylish clothes too. But make-up has never bothered me terribly, and I don't know why I should be pressured into doing it. I only wear lipstick when I go out, because sometimes my lips go all dry, and I dislike lip gloss because my hair always sticks to it and kind of tickles my lip. Lipstick stays on longer and gives more colour to my lip, without my hair sticking to it.

I hardly ever wear make-up, it makes my face itchy.

In some high end corporate jobs makeup is a compulsory part of the uniform, yes.

What I don't get is the shaming and criticism people get when they do wear makeup. It's been on the increase here for some reason...

I don't get it, either. Not every difference of opinion is in the wrong.

Whether or not you wear it is up to you. I work with people who do and people who don't and it's not a big deal either way. I did notice when I lived in ny though that women from there tend to wear way less than women from other parts of the country. I remember being able to spot tourists from a mile away because of their clothes and their overdone make up.

I personally hate it, because it reminds me, that as a woman you are reduce to being a dekorative item. You can do whatever you want, all most people care about is if you are doing your job as world deko-item well. You can come from college, tell your partner proudly that you managed a really hard test with 50% drop out, that forced you to learn for months to manage it and all your f*****g mother in law is saying at it: "Oh great, if you have free time again, we can go to the hairstylist." Nope. No Congratulations, nothing of being proud of me for managing a really hard test, that was very important for me and my school education... No it was nothing to be proud of, to be happy, to cheer with each other for managing it: It was only such an unimportant lame thing, important for my complete life and future, that got in my way for the really important stuff, that a woman has to care about: Her f*****g hairstyle.

Its as if my partner came home from work, told me that his boss told him to receive more money and a more independent from now on, because of him working that hard and precise and all I would answer him is: "I hope that dont get in your way, with you mowing our grass, because thats the only important stuff about you. So if you additional can manage to have some fun in that partything with no sense that you call work, while you care for our grass its ok. But dont forget: The important stuff you have to take care about and that people use to judge you and your worth is how you maw our grass.

Personally I am simply f****d off with that kind of people. For me its simply the opposite way: So if you have some time left, after doing the important stuff, what means school education, work, housework, ... and you have fun with it, its ok to do that in your freetime, as every hobby that gives someone fun. But it is simply a funthing without any importance, and demanding to waste time on that, while you still have more important stuff to do is as if I would demand people to play computer games, while they have important work to do that they want to do.

f**k what society tells you to do, it is hardly fair that we're expected to do/be specific things, but f**k it, you just have to say f**k it and do your own thing and figure out how to make your way work for you.

I cannot stand the feel of make-up on my skin and never ever wear it. In my day to day life it is not a problem at all. I've worried occasionally that it might hurt me in interviews, and it also makes me angry that it might hurt me in interviews. Of course you are supposed to polish yourself up for an interview by wearing professional clothing - both men and women have to do that. However, men do not wear make-up, so why should women? It has no real purpose aside from making women eye-candy.

My girlfriend doesn't wear makeup and it's great, I can actually kiss her face without tasting pig foreskin, or whatever the hell they put in it these days..
She actually wore makeup for the first time a few days ago to surprise me and I thought she looked ridiculous.. I was back to being googly eyed over her when she washed it all off.

I guess not everyone has such natural beauty, but putting a mask on your face isn't going to help anything.

I don't think that is an entirly fair comment. People can look after themselves and still have spots or acne. Sometimes it's a hormonal problem. I feel like I have to wear make up to cover my acne. I would love to have a clear skin and wear no makeup at all, but I look blotchy without it.

I haven´t healthy skin either, but for me its one more cause to avoid make-up. So whenever I am forced to wear it, I get sprinkles all around my mouth and nose. Clearasil and that stuff only made it worse. I have inherited the skin from my father, he is 60 now, and still has sprinkles all over his face. My sister, who sold cosmetics during university, finally tested a cream on me from the company "Natural planet" with Aloe Vera (helps natural a bit against infections) and Propolis wax (Its in natural bee nests, the bees produce the propolis stuff, when they produce the wax, to fight bacterias in their nests.)

It stopped the sprinkles completly and unlike that clearasil stuff your skin doesnt feel that horribly as if you had washed yourself with alcohol, but it feels just normal fine. Normally I am very sensitive to all kind of creams, and my skin feels weird when I try one, but this one I liked. The cream is a bit expensive (about 22,00 EUR for a tube) but a tube lasts for me normally about a year (I normally use it once every 1-2 days in the morning.) and was until now the only stuff that worked on me. Hormones also could have helped, but I didnt want to try that.

Edit: Just looked for the producer and its in the USA. Forever Living Products, 7501 East McCormick Parkway Scottsdale, AZ85258 USA or www.foreverliving.com "Natural planet" I spoke of, is only the company that is offering the product in europe.
